  • Our First NCL Cruise Changed Our Plans! What We're Doing Differently
    30 Oct 2026

    Our first Norwegian Cruise Line sailing aboard Norwegian Bliss taught us a few things, and now we're getting ready to put those lessons to work on Norwegian Viva!


    This week on PKAT Chat, we're wrapping up our Alaska adventure with the story of an airline nightmare that turned a simple travel day into a 17-hour ordeal. We're also talking about what worked, what didn't, and why we're changing how we pack, dress, and enjoy our next NCL cruise.


    From Freestyle Cruising and Free at Sea Plus to specialty dining surprises and our plans for Boo's Cruise 4.0, we're sharing what we've learned after our first Norwegian sailing. Plus, we've got a little sneak peek at an upcoming travel gear review!


    Join Ryan and Melinda for one last chat before we head to Galveston for another adventure aboard Norwegian Viva.


    See you on the scenic route!

    23 Oct 2026

    Boo's Cruise 4.0 is almost here! We're getting ready to board Norwegian Viva out of Galveston, Texas, and this week we're bringing together a whole crew of friends and fellow content creators to talk about everything we've got planned for this Halloween sailing.

    From embarkation-day meetups and specialty dining to our DAS BOOT Bar Crawl, shore excursions, and a few surprises we're keeping under wraps, there's plenty to look forward to. We're also talking about our stops in Cozumel, Roatán, Harvest Caye, and Costa Maya, along with a few things first-time NCL cruisers might want to know.

    Join Ryan, Melinda, and the gang for a fun, occasionally chaotic preview of what promises to be one memorable cruise!

    Follow PK Adventure Travels for our upcoming Norwegian Viva adventures, ship tours, cruise vlogs, and plenty of laughs along the way.

  • Our First Norwegian Cruise! Alaska, Norwegian Bliss & What Surprised Us
    16 Oct 2026

    We finally sailed with Norwegian Cruise Line, and what better way to experience NCL for the first time than aboard Norwegian Bliss in Alaska? This week on PKAT Chat, Ryan and Melinda are back to share their experiences from their seven-night Alaska cruise and first-ever travel-agent Seminar at Sea.

    From the ship's restaurants and specialty dining to the service, entertainment, and beautiful spaces aboard Norwegian Bliss, we're talking about what impressed us, what surprised us, and a few things we learned along the way. We also revisit some incredible Alaska scenery, glacier viewing in Glacier Bay, wildlife encounters, and our excursions, including whale watching.

    Plus, what exactly happens during a travel-agent Seminar at Sea? We're sharing a little about that experience and looking ahead to our next Norwegian adventure aboard Norwegian Viva.

    Join us for another conversation about cruising, travel, and everything in between. And as always, we'll see you on the scenic route!
