ノルウェージャン ブリス アラスカ | シアトル→シトカ (1～3日目)

We are getting ready for our group cruise 
for the Alaska group cruise. We ordered some lanyards. The first batch we didn’t really 
care for. Yeah, I said first batch. Yeah, we’re cutting these off, each one 
of these, and putting them on these. Seattle, the starting point for our 
Livin’ Our Vision Alaska Group cruise. We roll into the suburbs, settle 
in at Lake Pleasant RV Resort, then head downtown for a pre-cruise 
dinner. Finally putting faces to names and mapping out the week ahead. It’s our 
first time to Alaska. And the best part, we’re not going alone. We’re sharing 
it with you. Good to see y’all! Lots of luggage. We brought everything and 
the kitchen sink. Who did? We did. We had to move over here. This is a storage area 
for people going on cruises. and they only allow   you to be hooked up to a 20 amp just to keep our 
fridge going. Temps are going to be in the 70s the entire time we’re gone. So, that’s going to 
work out really well. So, this whole area here, it’s specifically for people going on cruises 
and they charge you a lot less. I think it’s uh I think it’s somewhere around $20. Sites 
over here are like 70 70 plus. But it is a very nice park. Did you get the corkcrew for 
the wine? Yeah. Okay. All aboard! This cruise port is crazy. 
Parking’s horrible at 66. [music: “I woke up feeling on top of the world… Like nothing’s ever going to bring me down…
This feeling got me flying high as a bird… I may never touch the ground… It may not 
be my birthday. But I just want to celebrate…” Let’s stop here. Also ready to 
taste. I’m hungry. Wait a minute lady. You need to wash again. Washy Washy [music] It’s a little bit narrower. It Yeah,   but we have a nice balcony. Billy 
likes it. and so is he! [music: “cuz it’s a good day, good life. I 
just want to celebrate all night…” We’re going back to our room now to unpack 
our luggage. Spritz our clothes with some   day wrinkler and hopefully the wrinkles come 
out. This is really nice though. This ship uh underwent a major renovation January to February 
2025 was in the dry dock. They did a renovation on it. It’s really nice. They did a good job 
on it. The only thing that’s um a little odd that we haven’t experienced on the other lines 
yet um is you have to use put your key card in um a slot right when you come in the door 
in order to turn the lights on. Yeah. So, but apparently you can just stick a like 
a business card or something, anything in   it. It doesn’t have to be your room card and 
it’s supposed to stay on. We will try that. On our first night, the main dining room 
becomes a moving postcard with mountain   silhouettes. Then we end the evening with 
some surprisingly entertaining karaoke. Mrs…Mrs Jones Purple rain. Purple rain. sweet Caroline…bom bom bom… I was kind of getting used to someone you loved… Good night, Mary Ellen. Good night, John. Boy,  Embarcation day was yesterday. Today’s our first day at sea. We had a a really good time 
with everybody uh yesterday and went down the karaoke. One of our gang had an amazing voice 
and did a duet last night with another guy that is actually a comedian on the ship. We didn’t 
find that out until here just this morning. But uh that was uh really amazing. All right, I’m 
going to go get some coffee. Going for the free coffee at the buffet. I just had to go over here 
to guest services um and get Michelle’s phone, her Wi-Fi going. Had a little bit of an issue 
with hers. So, we got it going now. I don’t like how Norwegian does their internet giving 
you 150 minutes free because if you don’t log off when you’re done using it, it keeps using 
your minutes. And then guess what? You need   the internet package. Back in the room. Do we dare 
see how chilly it is? Actually, it’s not too bad. Oh, until I get out here. The rooms look nice. I 
really like the rooms. The bathroom setup’s pretty good. All over the entire ship. We’ve noticed that 
the the upgrades updates that they did is just really really nice. There is one thing that we do 
not like. You have to have either your key card   or you can put like a business card or something 
in this little slot. Otherwise, the lights turn off by themselves and it shuts the air off. Unlike 
with other cruise ships when um this sliding door, your balcony door, if it is in the open position, 
it shuts the air off and you have to have it in the closed position. That’s how a lot of cruise 
ships are. But not with Norwegian. If you don’t have something stuck in that slot when you’re 
gone, the air doesn’t stay on. But it hasn’t been hot in here when we got in here. But of course, 
we’re going to Alaska. Happy washi. Washi. Washi. Little bit of variety. French 
toast. Little triangles. Jan   told us those were really good. I 
guess I really don’t get shopping for art and jewelry on a cruise 
ship. Yeah, I don’t either. But there you go. If you want to look for complimentary dining, go 
to the dining. Take us there, Vannah. These are all the complimentary dining, current status, 
specialty dining. Okay. So, if we wanted to go to the say the Texas smoke. Oh, there’s a 
second page, too. This is the second page. So, you’ve got six places that are complimentary 
dining with your fair that you pay for with your booking. Specialty, of course, that costs extra. 
The afternoon. So, what are you getting? Uh, I’m getting this combo for Alaska and the star and 
the shell. And they’re only five bucks. These are only $5. That’s 10. That’s a pretty good deal. 
Oh, you need your card again. It’s okay. Oh,   you got it. Okay. Nobody told me they needed my 
card. What do we got? What do we got? M stuff. So, what kind of bird was that again? That’s an ollie 
bird. Ollie bird. An olly bird. They’re a rare rare onelegged halfwing bird. Onelegged halfwing 
birdie. Now, can I can I get can I get your wife’s opinion on this? Well, you certainly can. Yeah. 
Yeah. What do you think about the Olly bird? Oh boy. Don’t believe a thing this guy says. 
I’d like to see that all our leg the entire trip. There is a look of guilty is what that 
is. That was Glenn. That guy tells you it’s raining outside. Grab your sunglasses. We 
are going to go to a slot pole now. We’re   at the casino. We’re getting ready to have a 
brute pull. All right. For the uh Norwegian living Norian P. All right. You gonna win 
for him. I’m gonna win. I’m going home. You should see it through someone else’s side. Another cipher to break while the grass grows underneath my feet. No wonder you got a pure heart. kind of honesty that will always stay. Don’t ever let him bring you down. What a terrible thing to say. Trembling across my fingers out of sight. 
Hello. Hello. Hello. I was lost inside a maze of night. Hello. Hello. Hello. I stayed 
up and watched you till late night. What do we have here? Funny. I wonder who put that 
on there. Billy. Billy. Billy did it. Yeah. We’re heading to our dinner night with 
everybody in the Manhattan main dining room. That’s a free dining room. 
Couples with your cruise. And tomorrow is Sitka, right? 
Did you say you were sick? This is the CD pasta. They have 
some gluten-free bread for me and Michelle. Do you have that that pork 
chop? Parmesan and Preston pork chop.   We have a really hard time knowing who 
who runs the camera. Can you our people generation? These are the icons. 
There were nights when the wind was so right outside. There were days when it got on the rock. I got to 
kiss myself. I’m so pretty. Sitka tomorrow. Time for bed. Mhm. Well, good 
morning. Today is day three. We’re going to go to Sitka. And last night we went to the Icon 
show. 5 minutes in, they had some issues and it got cancelled. Everybody had to get back up and 
leave. And it’s been rescheduled. This morning we had a message, our phone was lighting up. There 
was a message on there that it’s been rescheduled for 9:30 tonight. So, this area where I’m at right 
now is called the observation deck where people can come and sit and just watch the beautiful 
views if they don’t want to go outside in the   colder areas. It’s not too bad today, though. 
It’s starting out at 59° and it’s going to get up to 60 today. But the buffet is right above us. 
And there’s a part up here that you can overlook. So you can kind of sit and eat at the buffet and 
look out the windows as well, but it’s right above this area right here. But down here, they have a 
few little things that are similar to the buffet, but mainly just like pastries and of course your 
coffee and your fruit and cereal, stuff like that, which I’m sure Michelle will be fine just with 
the pastries. If you go upstairs to the buffet,   you can get uh fresh omelettes 
made, your normal breakfast stuff, pretty much anything you want. Or the main 
dining room, you can have stuff freshly made,   which they can make if you’re gluten-free. They 
can make you, they said they can make pancakes, French toast, whatever. I’m a little chilly for 
that this morning. Even I don’t have shorts on right now. Shocker, right? Morning comes in cool 
and quiet. The atmosphere is much different than any other cruise we’ve been on. The hot tubs 
are empty. Not many people walking or jogging. The go-kart track is empty. 
People are enjoying the views   inside and preparing for our journey in Sikka. Today we’re going to try one of the main dining   rooms for breakfast before we take 
off. We’re going to try taste. You know, this town has a unique past. Long before 
Europeans arrived, the Klingit people lived here for thousands of years, building a rich cultural 
tradition that you can still experience today in their art, totem poles, and storytelling. 
In the 18th century, Russian explorers and traders establish a settlement here, and Sitka 
became the capital of Russian America. In 1867, something truly historic happened right here. The 
United States purchased Alaska from Russia for $7.2 million. The transfer ceremony took place 
in Sitka, making it the first American capital of Alaska before the seat later moved to Juno. As you 
go ashore today, you will find reminders of this layer history all around you. The onion domes 
of San Michael Russian Orthodox Cathedral stands a symbol of the Russian era. While the Sitka 
National Historical Park offers trails lined with magnificent ton balls carved by native 
people and of course the stunning scenery, the forest, mountains and the wildlife is a story 
on itself. So I hope you enjoy your day exploring Sitka. Whether you are taking in the history, 
admiring the wildlife or simply enjoying the   peaceful atmosphere of this Alaskan gem, our first 
port of call as you know all our all on board time will be 17:30 today. So, please make sure to carry 
your key card and identification with you as you   head ashore and have a wonderful day in Sitka. And 
uh Dandan will come shortly to let you know that we’re clear to operate and go ashore. Well, we 
don’t see whales today. At least we saw sardines. Everybody say happy birthday 
to Kathy. Happy birthday. Happy   birthday Kathy. Happy birthday Kathy. 
Thank you. Kathy’s like who’s Kathy? Norwegian sent us an email for us to 
get our reservations for getting on   the shuttle. This shuttle 
will take us into Sikcast. Uh but after your cruise and you decide to 
come back to Sydney and you want to buy a   piece of property off to your immediate 
right here, this island with a mansion is ready to move in for sale. for sale. 
$750,000. You can call it your home. right here. Best station here. I’d 
like to walk over here to see that. Okay, we’re going to take a 15-minute walk to the 
Sikka National Historical Park. And our bus driver told us that uh we should actually start smelling 
the salmon before we even get there. But you’ll know you’re getting close when you start smelling 
them. Yeah. Hey, are those stalkers still behind   us? I think so. Guys see them? Are they behind us? 
Run. Hide here. Hide here. Hide here. Hide here. Oh, hi. Oh. H. Hi. Where have you guys been? I We 
didn’t know you were there. Stalking you. Russian Bishop House. Uhhuh. That’s also part of the 
historical park is this house. Oh, and we have a Pat should have his Do you have your pass with 
you? I I have my pass with me if we need a Should we National Park? You want to see it? Or should 
we just keep What should we do? We can. Well, it’s here. It’s right here. I mean, I don’t 
care. The Russian Bishop’s House in Sikka,   built in 1841 to 1843 by the Russian American 
Company, was the residence, chapel, and school for Bishop Innocent Ivan Vini Amanov, head of the 
Russian Orthodox Church in Alaska. It’s one of the few surviving Russian colonial buildings in 
North America and a national historic landmark. After the 1867 Alaska purchase, the Dasin 
seat moved to San Francisco in 1872, the building saw mixed uses like clergy 
housing and small printing operations into   the 20th century. Severely deteriorated 
by the 1960s, it was closed in 1969, acquired by the National Park Service in 1973, 
and restored over 15 years to its mid-9th century appearance. Would you like some warm tea? Today 
it’s part of Sitka National Historical Park. This is pretty. It definitely 
did not need this heavier coat.   This is nice because it’s also a raincoat as well. It stinks. Fil me. Oh my goodness. They’re trying. Sad. Seeing all the dead fish here 
and all of them struggling. I don’t   know. I’m ready to go. There’s 
something fishy about this place. Disgusting. This is a very sad trip. I feel like you saw I asked the lady in there. She gave a lot of 
information. And so what happens is the Indian   River comes down in this area here where they 
had the where the girls were taking the fish out. That spills into there and it’s fresh 
water. This is spawning time for the chum and the pink salmon. Right now November is 
when the sckeye spawn here. Those fish out there on the other side of the net are trying 
to get in cuz they sense that fresh water and   it’s spawning time right now because again it’s 
coming from the Indian River. They got it pull, you know, pouring through there. And this isn’t 
a fish farm. What the deal is fish salmon live for two years. And after two years, when they 
spawn, lay their eggs, they die naturally. Oh, okay. So, they’re getting the eggs out and 
then they’re dead anyway. Yeah. Okay. So,   it’s not as cruel as what what it looks like. 
Yeah. So, that’s Yeah, it still stinks. Yeah. And the clam chowder in here is really good. 
Uh, something I forgot to mention. You saw those   salmon hanging from that net by their teeth. 
That’s because the tide, they’re underwater and they’re kind of stuck on there before the tide 
starts to drop. And when the tide drops, the fish are hanging and they’re stuck. So, when those the 
other salmon on the other side of that net, they um they don’t let them in yet because otherwise 
there would be obviously more dead salmon. And so, they’re trying to regulate it. And uh once 
they get them thinned out a little bit,   then they’ll open it up and let more 
salmon in. But that’s why, you know, you look at that and you’re wondering, why do 
those salmon want to get in there? They look   like they’re suffering. Sad to see, but it’s not 
so sad when you realize that those uh you know, the salmon die after they spawn anyway. 
So, they’re doing a good thing here by, you know, getting the eggs out and producing 
more salmon and uh, you know, they die anyway. We got love that we’ll never need to hide. Love 
will always rise above. Whatever comes, we will be just fine. If I am yours and you are mine, take 
my hand and let’s fly away to another galaxy. Hold me close. I want to feel your love. 
Together we are free. Just be with me. Just be with me. Just be with me. Told us a 
15, 20 minute walk. Then a tour driver told us, “No, whoa, it’s not that far. It’s about 
10 minutes.” Nobody said anything about   the steep rock road that you have to 
walk up. And we still don’t see Oh, I think I see it. I don’t care if that’s too far. 
Take my hand and let’s fly away to another galaxy. Hold me close. I want to feel 
your love. Together we are free. Just be with me. Just be with me. Just be with me. Golden light force through the blinds. Wash away the wories like a winding tie. Yesterday left far behind. Your sweet scent fills my lungs open and wide. In this soft light, troubles fade away with 
you. No need for words to say your love. A gentle breeze that carries me through. We took a taxi up here to the Fortress of 
the Bear. And check out some bears. Welcome to Fortress of the Bear, an educational 
sanctuary providing lifelong care and protection to bears that were orphaned as we hope that 
you enjoy learning about our organization. For you, for you I in the silent dawn you stir from sleep. Sunlight paints your face in golden she. The harsh of dawn a peaceful sea. Good. Oh, look at that. This looks good, girl. Your love, gentle breeze that carries me through. 
I give up the world, the moon, the sky. For you, I’d reach so high across the ocean. I’m so pride. 
For you. For you. I I give up my dreams, my hopes, my view for you. What more could I ever do? I give 
up the world, the moon, the sky for you. For you I Pick up all those things off your bench 
seats. Pick it up off the the floor there. chocolate. Cheers. It’s a really fun day in Sitka 
today. Now we’re getting ready to go out to dinner with Tim and Bev, the ones 
responsible for the screaming goat. Cheers. Salute. Salute. I know. Wow. Look at that. 
That’s like a quarter of the Why is he so small? And look at mine. Look at that. From Seattle Sail 
away to Sika shoreline, these first three days have been a quiet kind of magic. New friends, long 
horizons, and that feeling that the journey’s just opening up. Tonight, we close the chapter here 
in Sika. Next week, we pick it up in Juno with a whale watching and Mendadol Glacier tour, and we 
can’t wait to share it all with you. Let’s cate. See you next week.
