Alaska Cruise Video Series-Embarkation Day

Hi everyone! I cruised on the Noordam the last week of August 2017. I video blogged my entire trip (like I do with all of my cruises). I hope these videos will help give insight to what you can expect when going on this cruise!

I am not a travel agent nor do I make money off of these videos. I create them because I am a cruise lover and I love sharing my trips with others. I do have my website on the bottom of the videos, solely for “branding” purposes. Again, I don’t make any money off of my website. It just houses links to my videos and copies of menus and daily activity schedules.

I’ll attach my videos from embarkation day in this thread. I’ll create separate threads for the others days to make it easier to look at what to do in each of the ports.

My itinerary: Seward-Sea Day-Glacier Bay-Haines-Juneau-Ketchikan-Inside Passage-Vancouver.

Please let me know if you have any questions! Thanks for letting me share my wonderful trip with you all! :)

It’s finally time for us to board the Noordam! We took a transfer from Anchorage to get to Seward. Here’s what you can expect when boarding your ship in Seward. Hope you enjoy!

Time for lunch! The food on the Noordam did not disappoint! In fact, it surpassed my expectations! One of my favorite things about cruising on HAL is the food! Hope you enjoy!

After lunch, we took a tour of the spa and gym! My goodness! The facilities onboard looked very nice! I would definitely look into the thermal suite spa pass for the week. Especially in Alaska! Hope you enjoy!

Next, we explore the Noordam for a bit! My dining time for dinner got messed up so we had to speak with the maître d’ which was a very easy fix! We even got to meet some crew members and we got a better understanding of what we could expect for the next week in terms of activities! Hope you enjoy!

A really cool thing about leaving from Seward is that the ship leaves at 8 p.m. That means that you have the chance to get off the ship and explore port for a bit! (I highly recommend doing that!). Hope you enjoy!

Time for more food! Spoiler: Dinner was incredible!! Though we had to eat fast so we wouldn’t miss the muster drill! Hope you enjoy!

It’s been a long day-but a fun one filled with lots of great memories already! Here we are, ending the night with some cookies, tea and some games out on the Lido Deck! Hope you enjoy!
