I couldn’t have said it better. They warm my heart!
You two are fantastic. I love to start my day watching your videos. Just makes my day.
Thank you for the whale 🐋 watching, absolutely brilliant 👏
You are both the best go with the flow people I know. ❤️
Thank you so much for taking the time to stop and look at the menus when going by a restaurant! We like it because we're trying to decide what ships have what dining options and what they offer! Keep em' coming!
I love your guys personality,he’s so funny n u guys always seem happy! 😂
Oh you guys, such regular people..my kinda people…enjoy!
You two have so much fun together! So cute!
You guys are so funny😂 I love the balcony breakfasts, btw.
I remember that singing crew at Windjammer...he was really a happy person to chitchat with
HOLY COW !!!! Your Basketball and Soccer was more entertaining then seeing the NFL.

I agree. That segment was hilarious. Jay, I am sure that being 6'5', many people throughout your high school years wanted you on the basketball team. Apparently, it wasn't your thing though...your two-handed style is comical, but it is so great than you can laugh at yourself while doing those things - such a great perspective. I would have loved Dee's height when I played hoops (I am just under 5'10"); the couple of inches would've helped me.
I learnt one thing today when I watch your videos I must use the restroom first who needs to watch TV I can watch you guys over and over
Your balcony hat and a white robe would make one heck of a cousin Eddie look🤣
Love the seal eyes!!!! ❤
Fun sea day! Enjoying your VLOGs. Cute towel animal. Foods looked good! Ice cream 🍨 yum 😋. Whales!! How 😎 cool.
Brilliant footwork
Yay for Whales!
Enjoy, Quiet Place II. I loved it!
In BC, our news announced there is a record number of baby orca born this year, so next Alaska cruise season will be good chance to see whales.
California Linda shares what a fun relaxed vlog. Missed the socks of the day on this video. Definitely an Alaskan cruise is more relaxed than others, similar to a transatlantic cruise. I always bringing two books and a small speaker for my music.

Sock of the day was definitely in there, no worries! We definitely had a relaxing time aboard Serenade... it's such a different vibe on an Alaskan cruise, but we enjoy it!! :P
Thank you for sharing! I just love watching your videos - even on sea days, it gives a great idea of what the ship is all about.
Loving the sports footage!
As soon as you mentioned "Tandoor Chicken" I know you were going to try that one Jay! We also enjoy Indian cuisine. Dee's response to the whales actually made me tear up!! I'm SO HAPPY you got to see quite a few out there! Thanks for sharing!
You are both just the optimal word for “cute”. Enjoyed your video tour so much and the interaction between yourselves. BTW: No deck 13 on any ship..ever. Supposedly “bad luck”? It’s been a good number for our family! Have fun! Keep happy!

It's weird that some cruise lines adhere to the Deck 13 unlucky idea, while others (many European-based) consider Deck 17 to be unlucky. Serenade definitely had the top deck numbered 13, hah... which we find to be a lucky number as well!! :P
We were on the Nieuw Amsterdam 9/4/21-9/11/21. Everyone was spotting whales except us. We did get lucky on our last day at sea and saw a pod of about 8 whales all blowing at different times. Awesome! They also saw some on the other side of the ship as well.
I love the eye stickers your room steward uses!
We had the same problem with late reservations for RCCL's anytime dining. After a couple days, we figured out a trick: when you're hungry (or as soon as it opens for anytime dining) go to the 'no reservations' line and ask to be seated in your server's section. Works like a charm & you don't have to wait until way past supper time to eat. We're early eaters, too, so 7:30 and later for dinner is too late for us. 👍🏻
This is July 2022 and I have been looking youtube for Serenade of the Seas cruise to AK - Sitka was important to us. I found you. Thanks so much, I love have this preview of our cruise to AK.

Thanks for joining our fun! This cruise was our first visit to Sitka, and we were excited to return in May 2022 on Radiance Of The Seas and again in July 2022 on Carnival Splendor. Such an interesting place to just wander around!! :D
Love the vlog videos! refer to the $10 sales a “shipyard sale.” 😬” I ain’t got time to splain that!” 🤣
Can I give you both 👍👍👍 because your Great!
I know different strokes for different folks. And I respect that. But I got to tell you guys! A cruise to Alaska looks about as exciting as a road trip to Branson Missouri! But that’s to me not to others. My husband wants to go because he wants to go we will go but doesn’t mean I have to enjoy it. Laugh out loud. I really like your presentations and I am so glad you’re on a Royal Caribbean cruise it seems like everybody else is doing carnival. I enjoy them too but I am at RC guy. 😀
Yay. Love your videos. They just brighten my day.
Haha!! I thought Jay was going to throw the basketball to hard but instead it went way short🤣🤣🤣 you guys are awesome! Love the channel
Yup, love your hat!!
I am really glad I stumbled upon your channel. You are so fun and down to earth. It makes me so excited to be going on my first cruise ever in December when watching your videos!
Love the balcony hat, Jay!!
Sitting & watching the waves go by is all we need right now. 🥰
What a lovely happy husband and wife. Love your Vlogs!!!!
6:59 lol, love the excitement!😄
It was nice seeing the whales somewhat! Waiting for more footage.
The one with the chilly Dee and whale spotting!
Thank you for the great giggle-fest this morning. I think I can probably play sports with the two of you. That was just hysterical.😂😂😂 I am so happy that Dee got to see her whales. Keep an eye out for the baby's humpbacks - they like to play with their moms.
Hi Dee and Jay! We are loving the Serenade of the Seas series 🛳🐋❤️🐳🌊
While not your special Orange Hat, the cold gear balcony hat is awesome
Dee speaking whale!!! Love it!
So glad you finally spotted whales!!!
great vlog guys thanks
You guys are hilarious. 😂😂. I enjoy watching all of your adventures. ❤😊
Love the balcony hat, Jay!
The balcony hat is awesome !!!
I like the Elmer Fudd hat.
I love the whales !!!!!!
LOL...Love that hat!!!!
Let this be a lesson to everyone: just because someone is tall do NOT assume they’re good at basketball LOL. All in good fun, love you guys!! Hope you’re enjoying Alaska week 2!!
⚽ Yeah SPORTS! Lol, thanks for sharing the much needed laugh this morning. 😂 Also very exciting whale sightings! 🐳 Rock on you guys. 🤘🤘
Wow, how sweet it is. You guys are living life. Now don't caught even a cold.
Y’all are so much fun! Thank you! I missed so much during Hurricane Nicholas. Back online now so a lot to catch up on!
That's so cool
One of my bucket list cruises is Alaska. I felt tears well up when you spotted those whales. I feel like Alaska is going to be a very emotional place to visit. As soon as I can get my health better I’m praying to get there. I always enjoy your vlogs but the Alaska ones you did 2 years ago, and I’m sure these upcoming Alaska vlogs will be my very favorite.
It is so fun to get up to see you two in the morning.
Thank you so much for taking time to share with us I just love you too!
Such great sporting fun. I loved seeing the whales!
Yall are so fun! Love it!
For me that was a perfect day!! Loved it all, thanks! 💕
Loved watching your day at sea so jealous especially when it came to the food and you showed all the stuff available was very sad that I wasn’t on the ship I could’ve helped you with that trivia we would’ve won every single game I am a trivia freak on all of the ships have a great cruise
Love the cruise so far thanks for sharing
You two crack me up lol
Y’all are amazing ‼️💕 a pleasure to watch… organic feel everytime
I loved seeing the whales 🐳
Love yall
Love these videos! Makes me want to go to Alaska just to whale watch.
Love your personality and energy
Wale watching was great. I was happy to have this experience with you 👍🏾❤️❤️
Omg the balcony hat is so cute😭😭 Dee is a queen, y’all rock 🤘🤘🤘
Love whales! Thanks for your videos
So fantastic you got footage of the whales to share with us🐋 Also you guys are so great at making your own fun. You were so cute up on the sports deck. I will consider shooting hoops on my Alaska cruise. So look forward to your videos.
That sunsets footage was pretty 🤩
So glad the whales made an appearance for you!😊😊 another great video!!
I guess y’all proved the stereotype that all tall people can play basketball is not true. :) the soccer play was hilarious. Thanks as always for the great videos!
Enjoy watching you both. That's my next cruise wish I would love to go to Alaska.
Thank for your excellent vlog today as usual. That cruise looks so peaceful and relaxing and a great way to get Dee’s feet wet with cruising again. Not so many people ,and areas for vaccinated cruisers only is awesome and safer !
That soccer game took me out 😂😂😂😂😂😂
OMG I was in tears laughing with you during the soccer match LOL I play soccer, so this made me happy :)
Loved the whales! Thanks y’all!
I find that there's less to do on Royal Caribbean cruises than Carnival honestly, it's not just the Alaska ones. That being said the ships are usually bigger and have more options, but the open/closed times are a bit more restrictive.
Excellent video! Loved the whale watching Now I want to buy some binoculars!
So love watching you two. Thank you for sharing your Alaska trip. I’m supposed to go next July. Was so excited for the whale sightings I hope we see some 😊
Love y'all...love it that u guys love to eat...
I'm just going to sit here and wait for the Baked Alaska in Alaska.
Just out of practice Dee. Jay you’re a hoot. Love your vlogs! Enjoy this cruise.
My husband and I will (hopefully) be on this ship next September for our 10th anniversary! We will be going out of Vancouver, though, and it will be our first Alaskan cruise. I'm really enjoying getting to know the ship through your trip!
Honestly, Alaska??? Not a chance!! Growing up in Maine, I have seen all the Bear and Moose and whatever. I hate cold. Give me the Caribbean sand!
Glad you were able to spot some whales from you balcony finally!😋😋😋
You two were hilarious!! I literally got cold just looking at you guys outside, I can’t do Alaska because I hate cold and I live in a cold state. SMH at me. 😄
At 21:20 you see the whale spout. Thats when you need a camera with a 600mm lens.
Whale 🐋🐳 great! We didn't do inside passage southbound as too foggy!
I love Alaska
Jay, you are rocking that balcony hat!
Did I see Jay have a salad?? Enjoying your videos! Can’t wait to see Alaska!
Looks good am eating lunch apple walmart salad trying to be good so when I cruise next month I can eat good.lol
