mercredi 14 octobre 2026 • Durée 01:04:21

Episode 173

This week on Cruise Conversations, Steven, Carly, and Theo return to share their recent 7-night Alaska cruise aboard Royal Caribbean's Anthem of the Seas!

Sailing round-trip from Seattle, the family experienced Alaska for the first time, visiting Ketchikan, Sitka, and Juneau, cruising through Endicott Arm to Dawes Glacier, and stopping in Victoria, British Columbia. From incredible scenery and wildlife encounters to memorable excursions, this was a family vacation unlike their previous Caribbean cruises.

In this episode, we cover:

A full Anthem of the Seas Alaska review, including dining, entertainment, and family activities
Exploring Ketchikan, from a scenic hike to Creek Street, salmon sightings, and the Lumberjack Show
Ocean kayaking in Sitka and exploring the totem pole park
Cruising Endicott Arm to Dawes Glacier and visiting Mendenhall Glacier and Nugget Falls in Juneau
Tips for planning an Alaska cruise, including excursions, balcony cabins, and packing

One of the biggest highlights was an early morning sailing through Endicott Arm, surrounded by mountains, waterfalls, and icebergs. Despite fog nearly preventing the ship from entering, the family was fortunate enough to experience Dawes Glacier.

Back onboard, Steven, Carly, and Theo review Anthem of the Seas and Royal Caribbean's Quantum Class, including how it compares to Oasis Class ships. We discuss the SeaPlex, bumper cars, laser tag, entertainment, dining, and why Alaska cruising offers a different atmosphere from the Caribbean.

Whether you're planning your first Alaska cruise, considering Anthem of the Seas, or looking for family-friendly excursions, this episode is packed with firsthand experiences and helpful tips!

This week on Cruise Conversations, Chris and Carmen join us to share their recent 7-night Alaska cruise aboard Royal Caribbean’s Ovation of the Seas!

Sailing one-way from Vancouver to Seward, Chris and Carmen experienced Alaska for the first time with stops in Ketchikan, Sitka, and Skagway, along with an incredible morning cruising Hubbard Glacier. Along the way, they packed the trip with wildlife, scenic drives, glaciers, and some pretty unforgettable excursions.

In this episode, we cover:

A full Ovation of the Seas Alaska review
Seeing bears & taking a floatplane in Ketchikan
An incredible wildlife tour in Sitka

We talk about their virtual balcony interior cabin, North Star, and iFly, the SeaPlex, Two70, dining around the ship, entertainment, crowds, and why they came away thinking Quantum Class might be one of the best fits for an Alaska cruise.

And their Alaska adventure didn’t end when they stepped off Ovation. After arriving in Seward, they extended their trip with a Kenai Fjords boat tour, dog sledding experience, Exit Glacier, and the scenic train ride to Anchorage, something they highly recommend if you have the time to add a few days to a one-way Alaska cruise.

Whether you’re planning your first Alaska cruise, considering Ovation of the Seas, or trying to decide how much to budget for Alaska excursions, this episode is packed with firsthand experiences, tips, and ideas for making the most of an Alaska cruise.

Kelsey is no stranger to Royal Caribbean. These sailings marked her 19th and 20th cruises with the cruise line, earning her Diamond Plus status before turning 30.

We also dive into the logistics of staying onboard for a back-to-back cruise, including the turnaround-day process, keeping the same cabin for both sailings, and even an interesting Diamond drink voucher perk that comes with doing consecutive cruises.

Whether you're considering Adventure of the Seas, thinking about trying your first back-to-back cruise, or curious about what it's like to cruise Royal Caribbean solo, this episode is packed with firsthand experiences and helpful tips for your next sailing.

MSC Meraviglia Review: Mediterranean Cruising & Yacht Club w/ Mackenzie

mercredi 16 septembre 2026 • Durée 46:13

Episode 169

This week on Cruise Conversations, we're joined by Mackenzie to recap her recent 7-night Mediterranean cruise aboard MSC Meraviglia, including what it’s like experiencing one of MSC Cruises’ biggest perks: MSC Yacht Club.

After taking her first cruise while stationed in Europe, Mackenzie and her wife quickly caught the cruise bug and have now sailed six times since 2024. For this trip, they boarded MSC Meraviglia in Marseille, France, for a port-heavy Mediterranean itinerary featuring Spain and Italy, along with an unexpected itinerary change when weather prevented their planned visit to Tunisia.

We also get an inside look at the MSC Yacht Club experience, from priority embarkation and the Top Sail Lounge to exclusive dining, pool areas, thermal spa access, elevated service, and even the sometimes-helpful priority elevators. Mackenzie shares why this was actually the best Yacht Club service she’s experienced so far.

In this episode, we cover:

A full MSC Meraviglia cruise review
What it’s like sailing MSC Yacht Club
Exploring Barcelona, Mallorca, Palermo, Naples & Livorno
Scuba diving, Mediterranean food tours & visiting Pompeii
Dining, entertainment & life aboard MSC Meraviglia
How cruising with MSC in Europe differs from cruising in the U.S.

From scuba diving off the coast of Barcelona and eating her way through Sicily to finally seeing Pompeii in person, Mackenzie shares some incredible experiences along the way, plus one cruise-line excursion that definitely didn’t live up to expectations.

Whether you're considering MSC Meraviglia, wondering if MSC Yacht Club is worth it, or planning your own Mediterranean cruise, this episode offers a firsthand look at cruising MSC in Europe and plenty of ideas for making the most of your time both onboard and ashore.

What was originally planned as a family vacation unexpectedly turned into a solo cruise, and the adventure started before Michael even made it onboard when his checked bag never left Charlotte. From navigating three days without his luggage to returning to Celebration Key, exploring the waterfalls of Amber Cove, and making the trek to Jack’s Shack in Grand Turk, there’s plenty to unpack from this sailing.

We also dive into what’s changed aboard Carnival Celebration since Michael last sailed her, including dining, entertainment, crowds, service, and whether the ship remains one of his favorites.

Whether you’re planning a Carnival Celebration cruise, considering your first Carnival Cruise Line vacation, or wondering what it’s like to cruise solo on one of Carnival’s largest ships, this episode is packed with firsthand experiences, tips, and plenty of lessons from seven days onboard.
