Nice video! We are doing our Alaska Cruise this coming summer 2023 and are so excited to go for the first time and vlog it. We will watch your other videos to learn more. From several of the other great you tubers we decided to Embark from Vancouver Canada it sounds more organized and easier we will see and we haven't been to Canada in 25 years. You did a great job filming, editing and communicating with us. Good filming of ship and your room. We will now have to see how your ports go. We are new subscribers and supporters we wish you more great adventures and a growing channel your off to a great start! 👍

We hope so too! The Ovation is a wonderful ship! It sounds like you have a great trip ahead of you! I might say we’re a tad bit jealous 😉 Check out our videos from port days to get an idea what to expect while in port. You can also find a recap video with all of our tips and tricks from our Alaska cruise. Thanks for your support and we hope you have a blast on your trip.

We've heard horror stories of 4 hr waits to get through the line. When did you arrive, how long did it take to get onto the ship, any tips?

Thanks to my wife we scheduled the earliest check in time, 11:30 if I remember correctly. When we do it again I would plan to arrive 30 minutes ahead of the booking time. I believe we made it through in about an hour or hour and a half.

Good stuff. How was the wait with my time dining. We have 645 MTD booked for our August cruise and I heard staffing was down and delays were bad.

We had a great experience with My Time Dining. We rarely had to wait for a table. The longest wait we experienced did not exceed 10 minutes. It was just us two and that may have helped. Having reservations definitely sped up the process.

We also booked 6:45 MTD most nights. My understanding is the with a reservation, you just show up and they seat you.

It does! We’ve got some great footage coming up soon. Day 6 was great as we sailed the Endicott Arm towards Dawes Glacier on our way to Juneau. Due to conditions we couldn’t make it all the way to the glacier but it was still awe inspiring!

How long did you wait in line to board the ship?
@richardfamilyproductions
2 жыл бұрын
It wasn’t too bad! Approximately an hour to an hour and a half. With all the excitement I didn’t keep a close eye on the clock. For the volume of people getting on the ship it went by very quickly. We will plan to show up a little earlier next time. Our boarding time was 11:30 and I think we got through the line around 12:00-12:30. We got to the port just before 11:00.

Seattle's cruise terminal is horrible. In Miami, Port Canaveral, Port Everglades, it takes 5 to 15 minutes to board.

Hey thanks for commenting! That’s great news! We are taking a Virgin Voyage out of Miami in December. That will be a first for us out of Miami and we have been curious what to expect. We felt Seattle was a tad bit confusing at first. Some more signage definitely would’ve helped.
