Thank you No, @tgloersen (Trace) and Maria is sailing on the NCL Joy on 7/1 from NYC

Current location of the Sun!

2 more sleeps till we depart!

I addition to the thousands of stills we Vlog our trips for our YouTube channel. I use a Canon EOS 90D, GoPro 9, GoPro 7, and a Canon G7x. Plus you have batteries, cords, mounts, etc. Tripods as well! Plus, I have my trusty iPhone. To empty SD cards you need the laptop and external hard drive!

I have too much camera crap to go carry on only. We actually give them to wait staff at each meal, plus our room steward. We carry a few extra in case we run into a superstar! We made close to 30. We put candy, some mints, and a small tip in them. The picture is the contents beforehand.

We are working on our tip bags for the cruise!

Yes, of course! Yes, she is done. She is doing Summer School up until we leave.

Ah! Thank you!

I don’t think the sweets are a bad thing, in moderation! 😉

Alaska is spectacular. You never know what you will see. Plus, I have favorite places to visit in ports and love going back. Plus it’s a short drive to the port from home, so no flying! I can’t wait to be on this cruise with you. Let’s meet up for a drink!

Their fudge is amazing too! We stop there and Caribou Crossing (right next door) every time in Juneau.

Gladly! I enjoy it and remembering the memories and locations each items holds.

I literally just took this!

I will take one when I get home.

The 22 mile trip cost us 67.13 not including tip from the port to the hotel. We did an UberXL, so we had enough room for all our crap.

We had an amazing trip. We enjoyed our time on the Encore. Please ask any questions you may have and I will try to answer them the best I can! Here are a few videos that got done after I got past where they were in the review: Cocoa Beach! New Smyrna Beach! Stateroom Tour! There will be more coming shortly!
