    Love your Alaska and all your videos…going to Alaska in August…will I miss out by not going whale watching…a bit nervous about that and hope will see some from cruise ship😊

    • @parodeejay
      @parodeejay  2 дня назад

      You can usually see some from afar on the ship if you’re patient, but we always include one good up close whale watch per Alaskan cruise. It’s a must for us!!

    When I was stationed at the Coast Guard Air Station there in the late eighties, all of the cruise ships had to anchor.

    Hey dee and jay, how can you tell the whales apart from one to another ❤❤❤

    • @parodeejay

      Normally the shape of the back, the type of spray from the blowhole, and sometimes the coloration!! :D

    What camera did you use on the excursion? It seems much clearer than previous videos.

    • @parodeejay
      @parodeejay  2 дня назад +1

      The main video was the new DJI Osmo but the top deck footage was our old Canon G7X because the zoom is much better!! :D

    Every time you guys go to Alaska do you ever see beluga whales? Those are my favorite whales never seen them in person if I had to do a book report about them when I was in 5th grade. 1992

    • @parodeejay
      @parodeejay  2 дня назад +1

      We've not seen belugas in the wild, no! Apparently you can see them around Beluga Point south of Anchorage in the summer though. Goals!! :P

    Are there places to buy sterling jewelry made by natives at any cruise ports?

    • @parodeejay
      @parodeejay  2 дня назад

      Quite a few! We stopped recording video in most small local shops when a few owners asked us to stop, so we don’t get to show that anymore. But it can be found!!

    Is it safe to write your telephone number on your luggage tag that has a cover? Thank you.

    • @parodeejay

      It’s probably pretty vital, in case you would like someone to call you if your luggage were to become lost.

    Three ships in Sitka is ridiculous. The lines need to work with the cities to find a sustainable level of cruise tourism and not outgrow that.
