Editorial Summary

The creators document their first port of call in Sitka, Alaska, while sailing on Royal Caribbean's Quantum of the Seas. After observing the scenic views and calm waters upon arrival, they opt for breakfast at the Solarium Bistro to avoid the crowds at the Windjammer. The vlog follows their journey via shuttle to downtown Sitka, where they explore local shops, visit the visitor center, and browse various Alaskan souvenirs including salmon spread and candles. Upon returning to the ship, the creators explore different amenities, including the gym, the Seaplex, and the pool deck, where they observe marine life in the water. The day concludes with a review of their dinner in the main dining room. The creator highlights a specialty surf and turf upgrade from Chops, concluding that the meal was worth the additional cost. They end the video by reflecting on their successful day and preparing for their upcoming scheduled shore excursion.

Creator's Key Takeaways

this place is absolutely stunning and gorgeous the waters are so calm it's peaceful it's just kind of hard to explain

I have to say it is a lot calmer and a lot easier by just coming in the solarium Bistro to have breakfast

that serpenter from chops was worth every penny this was a 34.99 up charge it was worth it it was delicious

we have been having so much fun here aboard World Caribbean's Quantum of the Seas really enjoyed our day here in sikka
