Our west coast cruising adventures continue onboard Radiance Of The Seas from Royal Caribbean as we head out on back-to-back 7-day northbound and southbound Alaska loops! We sailed from May 6-20, 2022 out of Vancouver, Canada with stops in Ketchikan, Sitka, Juneau, Skagway, and sailing through Hubbard Glacier before arriving in Seward, Alaska... then back through Hubbard Glacier with stops in Juneau, Skagway, Haines, Icy Strait Point, and Ketchikan before ending back in Vancouver... let's do this thing!

    How cool to see the Orca Pod. What a diverse example of wildlife. My brother lived in Seward for 15 yrs then retired to Kauai Hawaii 🤣🤣 Talk about a 180. (Jay, looking more like Smee from Peter Pan 🤪🤪🤪👍❤️) Love your vlogs guys, 7more days till my 28th Panama Canal crossing (Royal) with my 6 nieces/nephews/ God kids... Thanks for all guys.

    We are taking the Radiance of the Seas to Alaska May of 2023, but we are doing the Lane part after the ship docks in Seward. Did some of the people on your ship do that, too ? I wondered how that will work.

    Hey guys! We absolutely love your videos and we really need your help and value your opinion! We are doing the southbound cruise on radiance of the seas leaving from Seward. We are planning on flying into Anchorage the day before and need help on where should we stay and how to get to the port in Seward from anchorage. Does Royal Caribbean provide transfers or is it our responsibility to book them from a private company? Thank you!

    How does the B2B cruise process work? Do you have to re-test and check in again etc?

  • @parodeejay

    @parodeejay

    2 жыл бұрын

    Testing right now is optional, and at the discretion of the crew. We were not required to test, no. But you do have to go through a quick customs process, be checked out of the ship, and back in again, even if you're not planning to get off and explore the town.

    Typically, you just book a balcony from the very start. Or if you book a lower category room, you can always hope to participate in the upgrade bid program, if you are selected.
