I very much enjoyed and appreciate your style and candor during this series of videos to Alaska. Your cinematography was well done, eye catching, and relaxing…..it was as if we had gone with you both. Keep it up, you are better than most and I expect to see you both in the near future as you rise up in the ranks.

Dear Andy and Kirstie, thank you for a stunning video of the Glaciers. Please be advised that the noise and chaos in the buffet and MDR is mainly attributed to the American passengers who are know to yell when speaking, it's their culture. Stay safe and take care of each other.

Lovely scenery, but sorry it was so blustery on your sea day. Glad it calmed down later. Much calmer in May when I went. Beautiful scenery in Alaska. I like bagel breakfast sandwiches. Cookies look fabulous!😂I actually like it when buffet is served and everyone doesn’t touch serving utensils. I’ve seen women in rest rooms who left without washing their hands.😵💫

I watched the first few of your Koningsdam videos before embarking on her myself and the last two just after returning. I had a fixed dining time an found the 3rd floor dining room a bit quieter than the anytime on the 2nd floor (although both were very busy on the Gala nights). I loved the Music Walk area, especially the group that played in the Rolling Stone Rock Room! This is my 3rd Holland America ship and I did really like the Koningsdam. However I much prefer the smaller Holland America ships as they seem less crowded but have almost all of amenities. Thank you for another wonderful video series!

Your camera work is outstanding. It's so professional and just draws me in. I look forward to my Alaska trip hopefully next year. That band was really good. We were on the Equinox in May and unfortunately they had the same band in the atrium all week and the singer was horrid. It's as if they didn't audition her. Their entertainment in general was really underwhelming. Your reviews of food and entertainment along with others definitely lead me to HAL for my Alaska trip. Hope your trip home was easy and safe.

Did you guys not go to the BB King Blues lounge? I didn’t see it in your vids. Regarding the line ups for dining… if you go off “normal” hours for dining (8, 12, 5) the lineups are minimal. The bonus with HAL ships is that there aren’t as many people on board as some of the other cruise ships (Princess, carnival, celebrity etc). I enjoyed your videos. I’m glad you liked my city :)
