Haha 🤣 we had such a good laugh rewatching that. Thanks for watching!! 🍻☀️😎
I was on this cruise and made it in the background after Spectra’s (in the blue sweater). So fun! Thanks for highlighting our cruise!
Wow that's amazing!! Hope you had just as great of a cruise as we did! Can't wait to share the rest of the videos 🍻😎☀️
@@ryanandkala it was the trip of a lifetime!
Great video! We love Jamie's! Can't wait to see more!
Thank you so much!! Glad you enjoyed the video we can't wait to share the rest especially since we're getting to all the ports next 🍻☀️😎
Just got off the Ovation on Friday and Jamie’s Italian was our fave specialty restaurant.
It's sooo good!! Hope you had a fantastic cruise 😎☀️🍻
Great vlog guys. Looking forward to the rest of your Alaska trip! 😊
Thank you so much! Can't wait to share some of the footage on the next video, coming out Sunday! 🍻😎☀️
Miss that food 🤤
Ya Royal does know how to do the specialty restaurants 😋
Hey fellow vloggers! We're heading to Alaska for the first time in 29 days (after 18 Caribbean cruises 🤣👙). Thanks SO much for the Alaska vlogs! It was really nice to see the ship and your excursions. And that green dress for dinner was HOT FIRE on you, Kayla. 👌
Omg thank you so much! You’re so sweet!!
Amazing!!! we hope you have the best trip!! ❤
We are doing the train in Skagway, glad to see you liked it. I’ll remember to sit on the right heading out!
On the left heading out! Right for the way back down. We loved the train hope you have an awesome time 😎☀️🍻
Enjoying our video. My sister is currently on Ovation of the Seas, i I'm able to see what she experiencing. You are the 3rd creator I've viewed and I have to say you're the most refined.
Thank you so much that's so kind of you to say. I'm glad we're able to provide you with some insight on your sister's vacation! We had an amazing time on the Ovation and I hope she does too! ☀️🍻😎
It was great to meet you both before the show on the Ovation! Hope you enjoyed the cruise, and your time in Seattle too. Eager to see the rest of the videos from this cruise!!
Hey!!! It was so good to meet you as well! You made our night, thanks for saying hello! We had a great cruise and a great day in Seattle, can't wait to share the rest of the videos!
☀😎🍻
Hi Ryan and Kala, I’m on the cruise with you on the 14th? Anything you are going to do or pack different after having already cruise a couple weeks again.
That's so exciting!! We definitely packed too much, it was warmer than we'd expected but we probably just got lucky. I think we both packed multiple sweaters, coats, vests, etc when we would've been fine with only a rain jacket and a sweater + vest. We were really happy with the excursions we chose and the hiking we did, I think for our first trip I wouldn't change a thing because we had a great balance of activities. Hope this helps!! 🍻😎☀️
Hey guys, Kayla looked elegant on formal night!! Ryan , much better, you lost the baseball cap. Nice jacket, shirt, dress pants would be better instead of jeans. Your almost there . That food looked so good! Keep the videos coming!
Lol thanks, glad you enjoyed the video! Can't wait to share the rest ☀️😎🍻
I’m from Ottawa too . Love your videos
Wooo! Another Canadian cruiser who understands how brutal it is to travel from Ottawa Canada haha! 😆
Great video guys! Getting us excited for the Quantum in Alaska in 3 weeks! Can’t wait to watch the rest of the series
Thank you so much!! That's so exciting, 3 weeks!! Let the countdown begin!! Can't wait to share the rest of the videos ☀️😎🍻
@@ryanandkala absolutely! And to answer your question at the end, we’ll absolutely say Hi if we ever bump into you guys. We’ll be the couple with the big camera rig walking towards you 😂 Icon of the Seas in February? Let’s go!
@@paul_and_ashley We would love to do the Icon but the prices were a bit too high for us, we're on the new Carnival Jubilee in Feb! We had a great time on the Celebration so we can't wait 😎🍻☀️
@@ryanandkala Jubilee looks incredible! Sounds like a great trip! Have fun!!
Hi Ryan and Kala, my husband and I really enjoyed watching your videos about your Alaskan cruise on OTS. We leave soon for the same cruise. We fly into SEA the morning of our cruise (arrive at 10am) and would love to know all the details about how to get to the port and everything that happens during the embarkation process. After doing some research we are planning to take a taxi to the port. So, what happens from the time we get out of the cab (with our luggage which will not be too much; we will each have a small rolling bag and backpack) until we are on the ship and free to roam about. BTW your videos are the best and now we can’t tolerate the others! 😬
That's so exciting we loved Alaska you guys are going to have an amazing time. Everything is pretty simple as long as you have completed the online check-in and submitted all the required info. When you arrive to the port you can drop off your luggage with one of the porters (if you want, I know you mentioned you had small rolling bags), make sure it has the luggage tag on it from the cruise documents. From there depending on the port, youll wait for your boarding time selected when you checked-in or they may just open it up. In Vancouver it was just a free for all but generally stick to your boarding time. You go through some basic security lines. When you're in line waiting, complete your online muster then when you get onboard just go right to the muster station to get it done with. You get your rooms around 1pm but other than that you're free to roam. Hope that helps, if you have any more questions or need clarification let me know 😎☀️🍻
Great video... lots of good info on a full day at sea!!
I'm fairly sure, however, that Kala had the quote wrong at 5:35 though...
The correct wording is... "Early worm... gets... the worm!"
At least that's the way my pal Michael Scott says it!
I was just going to mention about the free 8x10 pictures for Diamond level with Royal Caribbean and BOOM, you go and said it!! Haha Do you guys ever bother with the free casino play they give to Diamond level? 6 bucks, Baby!! Great job on the Rip-cord... looked like a blast. I'll have to see if you guys try the FlowRider. Those Foster beers are the best. Like you said, over double the amount!! Poor Kala taking one for the team with burning the roof of her mouth. 🔥🥵 The new camera had some nice clear shots at dinner, some of them looked 3D!! 👍👍
Hahah 🤣 love it. We do use our free play! I can't remember which day but Kala ends up getting like $20 or something then wanted to take her profits and run lol. We didn't do the flowrider on this trip but I did give it a try on our Explorer OTS vlog, haven't tried standing yet. I'm still new with the camera and noticed a lot of times where it came out of focus, I know why now and it bothers me I can't go back and fix it. We had a really good laugh rewatching the moment at Jamie's lol, poor Kala 🤣. Thanks for watching!! 😎☀️🍻
My wife is gluten free also. If kala is worried about the gluten at the buffet just ask a manager and they will get one of the chefs to walk you around personally and point out everything that is gluten free. My wife did this almost every day....by day 3 the chef was pretty much waiting for her 😂.....royal is great for gluten allergies.
We agree! Royal always takes great care of Kala. She is usually a little nervous if there's not a gluten free section or if it's not labeled as Gluten free on the signs. They are always really great in the Main dining and specialty restaurants. Thanks for the tip about the buffet!!
Enjoying this so much as we were on an Alaskan cruise a month ago as well. It was our favourite to date, which surprised me!
Side note lol. Do you guys actually wear beanies 9 months of the year in Ottawa? 😂 We live in SW Ontario, about 7 hrs from Ottawa and I would say it’s cold, somewhat snowy maybe January & February. I know Ottawa gets harsher winters but 9 months? 🤣 Or was that a bit of a joke. Lol. Cause we want to visit in October. Do I need a hat already? lol
It is often about 20 + Celsius doing the day here in October.
Thank you so much!! We can't wait to release the rest of the videos. She was kinda joking 🤣 we'll probably wear them from late Oct/early November to April-ish. It's one of those things where the morning and nights are cold and the day is warm. It definitely depends year-to-year as you probably know, we might not get snow until December. You'll be fine without a toque!! 🍻😎☀️
Have a question, what's the coffee card? We'll be doing a group cruise next May. Researching now make sure we don't miss out on anything.
That's so exciting! The Coffee card is just an add-on purchase In the beverage packages section of your cruise planner. You basically get 15 tall-sized specialty coffees or 7 grande/venti sized. In the end I don't think it saves you that much, maybe a drink or two. Thanks for watching!! 😎☀️🍻
We love watching your videos and your Alaska vlogs are what made us pick this sailing for 2024. One stupid question tho, Kaya where did you get the big wool sweater that you are wearing out of the pool deck? I am looking for one just like it for our sailing.
So glad you’re enjoying the vlog!! My mom actually knit that for me! So sadly there’s no link to share for that one haha.
@@kala-ryanandkala It's gorgeous! Very talented.
I think we must be following you guys - though from a great distance 😂 We just came back from sailing on the Carnival Celebration and we've booked the Ovation of The Seas for our Alaskan cruise next August. Love your videos!!
Wow!! You got some great taste in cruises 🤣 you're going to have a blast in Alaska, it was beautiful. Hope you enjoyed the Celebration as much as we did!! 🍻☀️😎
Great video guys. Can’t wait for my Alaska cruise next year. Curious to know at what time of the year where you guys there. Ours is in July.
Thank you!! We left on May 11th! We had fantastic weather for most of the trip we were so happy ☀️🍻😎 I would suspect July would be beautiful as well.
Sorry you couldn't enjoy the Diamond Club because of us! haha
Haha 😂 that's ok we'd much rather cruise with friends ❤️
I went on the Ovation 2023 and I just booked the Carnival Celebration. I didn't like the food on the Ovation at all. The experience itself amaZING. The food off the ship was very good.
It can be very hit or miss with the food! Especially in the main dining room. Hopefully you enjoy the celebration food better!! 🥂
When did you and Kayla actually take your Alaskan cruise? Asking for weather temps. Headed that way in two weeks. Want to make sure the fam packed enough warm clothes!
We were on the May 11th sailing, we had very good weather for the majority of the trip it was quite warm. It's hard to provide advice because I think we just got really lucky. ☀️😎🍻
Hey Ryan and Kala! Great video! Looks like you had an awesome cruise! Great information in the video! Did Alaska on the Carnival Miracle last September...but that was a smaller ship and no where near as nice as the RCL Ovation! ~Smitty (Still watching your video since this one is a bit longer than usual :-) And congratulations on your Diamond status!!!!
Okay - just finished viewing your awesome video! You guys are fun! Your videos are tasteful Reality TV! And each video is an opus! You guys rock! Congrats on being recognized! I would buy you guys a drink....if you didn't have the package or used up your vouchers!
Thank you so much! We had an awesome time in Alaska, we can't wait to share the rest of the videos. We had great weather ☀️. I used to edit the videos down a lot more in size I'm sort of experimenting with the longer form to see what people think. We love being diamond those 4x vouchers each really make a difference, there's also the free photo and 1x wifi day each. Royal definitely has the best loyalty perks in our opinion. Maybe one day we'll coordinate a group cruise and we can have a drink together 🍻 thanks so much for watching!!
@@ryanandkala From a viewer standpoint, generally I would not be inclined to view a hour Vlog on RUclips. Your videos - well I am a Ryan and Kala fan now, because I enjoy your presentations...and your subject matter! In fact, you and Kala are one of the reasons I am Loyal to Royal! My first cruise with RCL was on Enchantment and you guys did a walk through that I viewed and then we exchanged a few notes. As you noted, see what kind of feedback you receive regarding the length of the segments.
This past May I flew down to FT Lauderdale from Maryland to cruise on the Vision for a repositioning cruise. From Ft Lauderdale to Curacao, Bonaire, Aruba then to the new home port, in Baltimore. That was 10 days. I stayed on the Vision and did b2b another 9 days. From Baltimore, to Bermuda, Nassau, Coco Cay and back to Baltimore. Had an awesome time and met some really fun people!
A group cruise sounds good! Even if it is just simply letting some of your "fans" know what cruise we should book. I imagine planning a group cruise could be like herding cats. LOL!
@@csmith2435 Thats great feedback thank you for sharing. Sounds like you had some wonderful cruises, we've never done a b2b we'd love to try one. We do have some exciting cruises booked, mainly a Mediterranean one with Royal and the Jubilee with Carnival next year. Can't wait!
Do they use this cruise ship for other locations? I'm asking cause I'm wondering why do they have pools outside lol.
haha good question, I'm pretty sure it spends a season in Australia then does a transpacific to Hawaii and up to Alaska.
😂 don't make her choke 😂
🤣🤣🤣
What month did you guys decide I’m trying to decide dates to avoid as many roaming days as possible
We went in May! I'm not 100% sure what youre asking but I hope I understood correctly! Let me know ☀️🍻😎
What does it mean to be a Diamond Club member??
When you hit a certain amount of days at sea you become a “diamond” member. This entitles you to certain perks on board like 4 free drinks per day, deals on photos, beverages, laundry etc plus access to this diamond lounge where you get snacks and coffees etc as well as a diamond lounge concierge who can help make reservations etc.
Royal has some of the best loyalty perks at sea!
Love your content and new camera. Only downside now is u look at yourself in the screen and not into the camera. Kind of loses the engagement with the viewers. I'm sure you'll see the error of ur ways when editing and work on looking into the camera. Love ur content
100% we caught ourselves doing it! It’s so hard not to haha! 🤣
