Your documentary was great! You covered so much that we are very excited about our upcoming Alaska cruise with Norwegian in June 2022. We will be visiting some of the same ports and can’t wait. Your information was very helpful in regards to embarkation, COVID testing, it being cold and rainy and suggesting to bring layered clothing as well as rain gear and also information regarding the internet packages. I agree with other post, you were so down to earth and I could relate and did not mind watching the entire documentary. It gives us so much to look forward to. I would like to know if the water was calm from Seattle to Alaska? Again, great documentary!

So much better than the drab ones showing the same thing, blah blah this is the closet blah blah. I am definitely changing my wardrobe, no one really shows how much it rains or how cold it might be, especially the shoe selection will have to change. Thanks for that. And I didn’t know about all the docking changes.that will make a difference when I choose my shore excursions.

If you have no outer water proof shoes t o keep your feet dry use a disposable shower cap inside your shoes. Put on you sox the thicker the better and then put your foot into a shower cap or a plastic bag. Then put your foot into your shoes. (Trim the excess length off the plastic bag if it is too long) so your shoes may be wet but your feet will be dry and warmer than wet sox feet.
