Holland America is a great cruise line. It’s geared more for adults, so there are few, if any, kids👍🏼 I can’t wait to see all the upcoming adventures! Blessings🙏
Thank you for sharing this information. We went on a cruise a long time ago and we hated it. I like how this cruise seems a lot more quiet, and peaceful. You definitely had me at the balcony view. WOW! I also love the fact that the pool area is heated, so people can swim even when it's cold out. I agree a longer cruise is the way to go!!
What a beautiful and amazing ship! So fancy. So happy for Dawn that she could celebrate her birthday on an Alaskan cruise. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us.
I can’t wait to see more of the ship. We are going on an Alaskan cruise in July from Whittier to Vancouver on the Nieuw Amsterdam. I’m sorry your Skagway stop was cancelled. Enjoy the cruise!!
Glad I found your video! We’re traveling on this ship next May 2025 on the Alaskan/Denali cruise! How fun do other people decorate their doorways? I’ve only been on one to the Caribbean 20 years ago and don’t remember seeing this done. Nice to see how easy the embarkation went for you! Happy Birthday Dawn great way to celebrate your special day! Sorry your stop at Skagway was changed. We already made reservations for excursions in Skagway!! Fingers crossed. I’m so excited to go on this trip!!!
Yay, Will and Dawn! 🙌So glad you chose Holland America for your Alaska cruise! They are truly the best when it comes to Alaska cruising! Looking forward to seeing all the upcoming videos.
Wow! I can’t wait until tomorrow! 🌈 good for you! Glad to see y’all out on another great vacation! It’s just me, so I get to travel vicariously through you!
We sailed on her in Sept 2024 from Whittier to Vancouver. We enjoyed the ship, and we enjoyed her sister ship, the Eurodam. Sorry to hear about your port cancelation. We sailed from Ft. Lauderdale to San Diego in Feb 2023 and lost a port visit but HAL did nothing for us, so I’m glad you all got something. Safe sailings and thanks for sharing
Will and Dawn, what a beautiful ship! Love your balcony in your room! Thank you for taking me along with you! Your food looked so good and the desserts too. Can't wait till your next vlog. Love y'all!❤️❤️
So exciting....I know I need a cruise now, and would love to see Alaska! So maybe this is the cruise for us....we've only ever been on one Disney cruise and loved it, but kids are grown now.
Now this makes us want to go on an alaskan cruise. Our friends in Vancouver have wanted us to go on one with them for years. After watching these videos it makes us want to go 😊
"The Sun is bi polar". What a great comment. When we were in Skagway last fall, there had been a landslide from the rock cliff at the main dock. they parked some old train cars to try and keep the rocks from hitting the dock/ships. Even though we parked at the dock, we had to water shuttle to town as they did not want us walking along the dock. Sorry you missed Skagway, but Sitka is beautiful and we could see whales from our parked ship Great videos of your adventure
We did Alaska on Holland America several years ago, it was great. We really enjoyed Skagway and the Whitehorse railroad ride. Thanks for sharing your trip.
The ship is amazing, can't wait to see the Alaskan adventure. Hopefully Dawn will get to see her whale, I always thought that seeing a whale in the ocean would be so awesome 💕
Sorry for the cancellation but ya'll are gonna have a wonderful time. Happy crusing! Happy birthday Dawn. So excited for you! Have fun and thanks for taking us along.🛳
My husband and I are taking this exact same cruise on June 1. We found your video so helpful. By chance do you know how deep the closets were? After watching your video we are afraid our suitcases might be too big! Thank you for any help.
Did they say why they canceled the Skagway trip? That’s supposed to be one of our stops also when I go on Royal Caribbean next month. And we purchased the excursion for the white rail Pass.
Well, I am disappointed that you’re not going to be able to take your Skagway adventure. That was something I was looking forward to as well. Nonetheless! I was disappointed when your video ended because I’m really enjoying these adventures and your trip. Have a wonderful time and looking forward to your next video.
What a huge bummer you did not get to go to that one place you really wanted to go. Kudos. Y'all handled it much better than I would...which is probably why I don't do cruises. Too many variables. Too many things that could change without much notice. When I plan something out and I'm very comfortable with that plan (especially when I really want to do certain things) I don't adapt very well if the plan has to change and the less time I have to accept it the worse it is. That's just my personality
So sorry they cancelled Skagway it’s one of our favorites. Gives you a reason to come back. We love Sitka too a nice walking town . Happy Birthday Dawn!
Loved my Alaska cruise on Holland America. It was my first cruise and it took me a couple of hours to get used to asking for ice cream and not needing to pay! (Real scooped ice cream.)
I was on an older smaller Holland America ship, the Eurodam. Not as stylish as the newer ships but spotlessly clean. And those beds are the best! I like that they provide a firm pillow and a soft pillow for each person.
Walking around on our own in Sitka was so peaceful and beautiful. The snow-capped volcano as a backdrop, the historic Russian Orthodox cathedral, the waterfront walking path to the Sitka National Historic Park with the totem trail! Just gorgeous.
I work at a travel agency and boy am I happy to hear you actually read that they can change the itinerary. You wouldn't believe how many people fight that ALL the time! Despite what it says in terms and conditions. Long story short, it doesn't work out too well for them. Chances are they cancelled it for a good reason!
Thank you all for filming your trip. You did a good job. You are doing a great service for all of the poor, sickly, and elderly people who cannot go on a cruise.
You will have to go back and take the sea cruise and land tour. Holland America is the best. Skagway is my favorite port..so sorry..I like Siitka as well. Elimis are high end personal products. In the old days there were no mini bars..hate them. We had mini refrigerators.
I am so excited for both.you are off to great cruise. Alaskan is amazing. I have only been on 2 cruises so far. Both on Holland American and my first was the Alaskan cruise out f Seattle this was back in like 2007. I was in my 20,s. It is older crowd. But we loved it- more sophisticated we could pick whatever we wanted to do with the crowds.
The thing with UBER at Vancouver is they are not permitted to go into the cruise terminal at Canada Place. They drop you a block or two away. Only taxi's permitted. I used UBER last year Sept. 2023 and they dropped us off with my handicapped wife a block away with luggage etc. What a chore. Take a taxi and we found when departing the taxi was pretty much the same price as UBER.
What an adventure you two! The ship is beautiful and so much to see and do. Food looks great and your room is very nice and a balcony! Alaska here you come!
My friends were disappointed when they sailed on MSC recently. They decorated the door and inside the cabin with birthday magnets and someone stole them. 😢
Oh wow!! Beautiful ship, room and hopefully the weather. Can't hardly wait to see the next video. Hope it was a blast. Dawn looks so happy to finally be on the way to ALASKA!!!! God bless.
The ship is Beautiful - I loved all the Woodwork and Artwork. We Loved Sitka and the people were amazing! Happy Birthday Dawn - ENJOY you two - Looking forward to Part 2 Many Thanks for sharing Vancover too, we really enjoyed it.
Holland America is a great cruise line. It’s geared more for adults, so there are few, if any, kids👍🏼
I can’t wait to see all the upcoming adventures!
Blessings🙏
An Alaska cruise is on my bucket list! I am enjoying every minute with you!!!! Thanks.
This ship is very elegant. That's how I would describe it as elegant with the artwork and the wood. It is beautiful
Enjoying all of your Vancouver/Alaska videos!!! Definitely on my bucket list.
Very nice cruise ship. What a great birthday gift, Dawn will cherish forever. Enjoy everything you do. Safe travels and God bless.
Thanks so much
Happy Birthday Dawn, you two are going to have so much fun.

You have to go back someday, the White Pass Railway was the most awesome thing I’ve ever seen in my life .
Sitka was my favorite town! So easy to explore on your own.
Holland America seems like a nice cruise line. Thanks for sharing.
What a beautiful and amazing ship! So fancy. So happy for Dawn that she could celebrate her birthday on an Alaskan cruise. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us.
Holland America Line is great.
I hope you two have a wonderful time.
Stay well. Stay happy. Peace.
Glad you all are having fun. I know it must be exciting!
Looks like a great cruise to go on, and im happy you're having a great time.👍
Very beautiful ship looking forward to part two.❤❤❤
I can’t wait to see more of the ship. We are going on an Alaskan cruise in July from Whittier to Vancouver on the Nieuw Amsterdam. I’m sorry your Skagway stop was cancelled. Enjoy the cruise!!
One day I can knock it off of my bucket list🎉
Looks to be nicer than the RC ships I’ve been on. Look forward to the series.
Glad I found your video! We’re traveling on this ship next May 2025 on the Alaskan/Denali cruise! How fun do other people decorate their doorways?

❤I will be on that ship next month. I am taking a 14 day land cruise to Alaska on June 16th. Thanks for the sneak peak of the ship❤
It was a great first day 😊
Hi guys. Watching from Australia. Nice vid. Happy birthday Dawn.❤
awesome guys. So enjoy your videos..
I’ve been on a couple cruises, but my husband has not. I’m trying to get him to commit. Love your video. Thanks for sharing 😊
Holland America is the best for adult cruising. Very Mature experience. The Glaciers are awesome!
That's a craps table.
Happy Birthday, Dawn Enjoy your cruise
How exciting! I get emotional when Dawn gets emotional! Hope it's a great week for you in every way! Hugs from Maumee!
Hello 😃 ❤️ 👍
You never hear the word diet on a cruise ship We enjoy your videos
We did Alaska on Holland America several years ago, it was great. We really enjoyed Skagway and the Whitehorse railroad ride. Thanks for sharing your trip.

Happy birthday Dawn have fun 😊
I lived in Alaska for 4 years. Enjoy your vacation!
Thank you! Will do!
My husband and I are taking this exact same cruise on June 1. We found your video so helpful. By chance do you know how deep the closets were? After watching your video we are afraid our suitcases might be too big! Thank you for any help.
A standard size suit case will fit perfectly. And big blue fit in the other closet.
Did they say why they canceled the Skagway trip? That’s supposed to be one of our stops also when I go on Royal Caribbean next month. And we purchased the excursion for the white rail Pass.
Yes
I have heard a lot of wonderful things about Canada.I would like to go and see it sometime.I will put it on my bucket List. 38:02
Great ship tour😊😊
Thanks! 😊
Happy Birthday Dawn🎉

Maybe one day
Have fun
What editing software do you use? Your videos look top of the line.

😊 number #1 vlogs thank guy for showing everything
Thank you 😃 so much
So sorry they cancelled Skagway it’s one of our favorites. Gives you a reason to come back. We love Sitka too a nice walking town . Happy Birthday Dawn!
Have y’all ever thought about doing any merch or am I just not seeing it?
We have merch
@@yankeeinthesouth where do I find it, Facebook or do yall have a website?
Now I certainly hope ours isn’t canceled. We are supposed to do the Yukon, sled riding stuff etc.
If it gets changed out for Sitka, you’ll still have a wonderful place to explore.
Loved my Alaska cruise on Holland America. It was my first cruise and it took me a couple of hours to get used to asking for ice cream and not needing to pay! (Real scooped ice cream.)
I really appreciated that Holland America serves the buffet instead of letting everybody use their hands.
I was on an older smaller Holland America ship, the Eurodam. Not as stylish as the newer ships but spotlessly clean. And those beds are the best! I like that they provide a firm pillow and a soft pillow for each person.
Walking around on our own in Sitka was so peaceful and beautiful. The snow-capped volcano as a backdrop, the historic Russian Orthodox cathedral, the waterfront walking path to the Sitka National Historic Park with the totem trail! Just gorgeous.
Thanks for bringing us along! I can hardly wait until tomorrow’s video!✌️
More to come!
We sailed on the Volendam last May and steak was offered every night on the Lido Marketplace because that is what our son ate every night.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAWN❤
Make sure to go see the Eagles in Sitka
Sorry Cancelled Your Skagway never seen Alaska Cruise For 7 Days Enjoyed And Happy Birthday Dawn 😊 Stay Warm😊
Thanks! 😃
Do they tell you why they cancel???
Yes
How much does a cruise 🚢 like that cost? Hope you guys have a wonderful time.
We're going to have a video at the end breaking it down
@@yankeeinthesouth thank you so much. I love your videos.
Happy birthday

Really enjoy these videos. Dawn is funny. Not sure I trust her on a swinging bridge. Nice videos
Thanks 👍
Thank you all for filming your trip. You did a good job. You are doing a great service for all of the poor, sickly, and elderly people who cannot go on a cruise.
Hope you had a great trip. Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks for taking us along and showing us around the ship! ❤
You will have to go back and take the sea cruise and land tour. Holland America is the best. Skagway is my favorite port..so sorry..I like Siitka as well. Elimis are high end personal products. In the old days there were no mini bars..hate them. We had mini refrigerators.
Sorry you missed Skagway and train, but Sitka is great port. Easy walking around town. Nieux Amsterdam is great ship. Love HAL
Thanks, your videos are always well-produced and very entertaining.
Thank you very much!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAWN, HOPE YOU GET TO SEE SEVERAL WHALES!! another good one!
