2024年10月5日 · Hello, My husband, brother and SIL are planning our first trip to Alaska. We want to book a one-week Alaskan cruise on May 31st, 2026. The verandahs are showing as sold out. I had been checking every day so it seemed they just had not been released yet. That is what our travel agent thought, too....

2013年9月24日 · For Alaska, I like late May, all of June, all of July, and early to mid August because of better weather, more daylight, and more animal sightings in general. (Based on my personal experience and preferences only. YMMV.) Fares are less expensive before the end of June, generally speaking.

2024年11月30日 · We sail to Alaska every year and go at various times during the Alaskan season. 2021 we went in early August, 2022 we went in late May, 2023 we went in early September, this year we went in mid August. The link below is a couple of years old with our Alaskan cruise at the end of May. Skim through the link looking for photos of what we saw …

2011年6月5日 · i sailed in early may two years ago and it was beautifull with snow near the water line in several places. the look of alaska is very different in the spring. last year we sailed the last week of cruising in sept. and had great weather. we were able to get closer to the glaciers because the baby seals were old enough to withstand the movement of the ship. they stay on …

2024年8月17日 · If you look around the board, there are dozens of threads on Alaska weather. In summary, May will be about the driest time of the season, but cooler. September will be wetter...but perhaps a little warmer, AT TIMES. There can also be …

2021年6月6日 · I worked on cruise ships many years ago, and did two full seasons in Alaska. I would pick May over September. Alaska’s weather is unpredictable but generally May is drier than September. Plus you will see more snow and ice whereas September is greener. We’ve cruised in May and didn’t even need jackets when we were at Columbia Glacier.

2025年1月14日 · Hello, We have cruised before, but this will be out first time on HAL. We are doing the Alaska cruise, including 2 (hotel) nights in Denali in May 2025. I tried to reach HAL by email (no replies) and just tried to contact them by phone, but they do not really know the answer. My cruise agent is l...

2025年1月3日 · As a hobby photographer, I have been to Alaska many times, almost exclusively in May. As noted above, there is still snow on the peaks, a chill each morning, less rain than other months, humpback whale calves are very active, hotel and plane fares are low, glacier ice flows have harbor seal calves, eagles are searching for food before the salmon runs begin, and …

2018年9月4日 · May is early for any major salmon runs; most runs will still be in the ocean; however in Southeast Alaska, there might be some early runs that can be witnessed, but you'll need to be lucky. In September most will be finished, but there will still be some good fishing for silver salmon in parts of the state, for example the Kenai River drainage.

2007年9月14日 · We have done two Alaska cruises - both May 22-29 and each time we enjoyed our balcony. We are cruising again next year (May 30-June 6th) and hope to enjoy our balcony once again. During our last cruise we even saw a man shirtless on the balcony directly below and adjacent to ours (one of those uncovered balconies).
