Between the cruise planning, reviews, and the cost breakdowns, I've been sitting on something else; hours of raw footage from our cruise ship balcony. So far, it's just Alaska but I'll add to the collection every cruise. No narration. No agenda. Just the sound of the sea moving past.
I finally put it up somewhere it belongs: Balcony at Sea.
Right now it's two raw videos; the real sound of the North Pacific from a moving ship.
Over the next few weeks I'll be adding sleep ambience versions with soft music and study sessions with LoFi layered over the same footage.
It's early. But if you've ever wanted to fall asleep on a cruise ship balcony, this is for you.

This week I sat down with our onboard Naturalist, Daryth Morrissey, and she completely reframed how I think about wildlife viewing in Alaska. The thing most cruisers get wrong isn't where they look, it's when. She breaks down the actual probability math on bear and whale sightings, and which excursions she'd personally skip. Genuinely one of the most useful conversations I've had on the channel. It posts Friday with a ton of Alaskan beauty for the backdrop.

I normally post new videos on Fridays but I didn’t bring any editing stuff aboard. They’d great new content coming starting Monday with a ‘balcony talk’ that I recorded instead of my planned live stream. I also did a great interview with the onboard Naturalist about how to spot wildlife that’ll be coming soon. The saddest day of any cruise hits tomorrow then back to the grind.

Greetings from the MSC Poesia, somewhere in the North Pacific off the coast of Vancouver Island. I have discussed doing a live Q&A but I don’t think the ship’s WiFi will handle it. I’m trying to figure out alternatives so please, keep the questions coming. Thank you all so much for watching. And if you’re aboard, please stop me and say hello.

Big week next week on the Poesia. I plan on doing YC cabin tour Monday and a live stream Friday. Post question you'd like me to answer in either of these videos.

I got this from the Poesia May 18-25 group. It was originally posted by 2 Away Travel. I thought it was very helpful and wanted to share.

Tomorrow's video covers the 24 things included in your MSC cruise fare. I know it's not an exhaustive list but it's a really good start in my opinion. This is a great opportunity to share tips and tricks, things I missed, or things that I got but maybe better ways to consider them. Get ready to comment and help everyone out!

Instead of a series of shorts this week based on the longer video, I produced a podcast style video that rolls up a lot of the Alaskan content. The basic question; 'Is MSC Ready for Alaska'. I hope you all enjoy.
