Alaska Is CRAZY… and Our Biggest Excursion Got Cancelled | Radiance of the Seas

Let’s Cruise: Radiance of the Seas | 7-Day Northbound Alaska Cruise: Vancouver to Seward (Juneau, Icy Strait Point, Sitka, Skagway, Hubbard Glacier) This Alaska cruise was one of those trips that felt unreal… right up until things started going wrong in the most cruise-life way possible. Between embarkation hiccups, missing luggage stress, and our “big” excursion getting cancelled, it turned into the kind of sailing where the best moments were the ones we didn’t plan. Come along with us as we take you on our full 7-night Alaska cruise aboard Royal Caribbean’s Radiance of the Seas, sailing northbound from Vancouver to Seward. This full-length Let’s Cruise video captures the entire journey — from sea days and port days to wildlife, rain, mountains, and that jaw-dropping finale at Hubbard Glacier. Filmed throughout the voyage, this cinematic travel vlog shows what it’s really like to cruise Alaska: early mornings, shifting plans, incredible scenery around every corner, and the constant question of “Is this going to get cancelled today?” (Sometimes… yes.) ⸻ ⚓ Cruise Highlights • 🇨🇦 Vancouver (Embarkation) – A hectic start with travel logistics, a jammed safe, long lines, and the classic “where is our luggage?” cruise stress. • 🌊 Sea Day – A slower reset day with ship time, food, and a behind-the-scenes galley experience. • 🇺🇸 Juneau – Big plans, cancelled plans, and improvising the day anyway (including a few legendary Alaska stops). • 🇺🇸 Icy Strait Point – One of the most memorable days: epic views and an adrenaline-heavy zipline experience. • 🇺🇸 Sitka – Rain, a rugged inflatable ride, a private island stop, and local food that made the weather worth it. • 🇺🇸 Skagway – The narrow-gauge train into the mountains (and the scramble when timing doesn’t go your way). • 🧊 Hubbard Glacier – A true Alaska finale: getting up close on the water and watching the glacier come alive. ⸻ 🍽️ Life Onboard Radiance of the Seas Radiance is an older ship, but it’s a great platform for Alaska — warm, classic, and comfortable when the weather outside is doing its thing. Between specialty dining, ship time, and the little routines that make a long trip feel smooth, this video shows what cruising Alaska feels like when you’re port-heavy and constantly moving. And yes… There are honest moments too: what happens when excursions get cancelled, how the day pivots, and how the “plan B” often becomes the story you remember. ⸻ 🛳️ The Alaska Experience Alaska cruising is not like the Caribbean. The scenery is bigger, the weather is unpredictable, and every port feels like a completely different world. Some days are postcard-perfect. Some are cold, wet, and chaotic. This sailing had all of it — and it’s exactly why Alaska is such a bucket-list cruise.
