We were in June2023 and weather was wonderful

Alaska, unlike a Carribean cruise, can get dreary That's why bars are very popular in Alaska

I found this video while researching Alaska cruises for a trip next year I had to laugh at the shorts comment, because my husband wears shorts 365 days of the year 😂

What month did you go?

This couple is ADORABLE I love them
Comment from : @SKimilku

For optics, I highly recommend Vortex binoculars! Great value for the high quality of the binocs Best part is they come with an unconditional lifetime warranty You will pay more than the average box store binocs, but once you buy these, you will never need to buy another pair again
Comment from : @amtrakbisoneagleprincess4575

What month did you go on your cruise? We are going May 25th next year and I was just wondering about the weather generally
Comment from : @sahmom6285

So would be nice to know what months that you made this video? That would be helpful

We had an 11 day cruise in alaska in May 2023 , 10 days of bright sunny days , blue sky
Comment from : @kenrobertson9854

I went on my Alaska cruise in May of this year (ports of call were Juneau, Skagway and Ketchikan) I LOVED every second of it (cold, wet rain with some snow still on the glaciers and all) I had done a great deal of research prior to my travels so I was very prepared for this adventure of a life time My only regret was not having spent a few hundred dollars more for a room with a balcony Pay attention, people: Get a room with a balcony It will be worth every penny; especially, on days when the whole ship seem to be in the observation deck or upstairs in the upper decks to see animal life and get up close and personal (via tripods and super cameras) to the awesome beauty of some passages through glacier bay
Comment from : @Jasmine-ur1sl

We had 14 days straight of wet cloudy overcast foggy days 5 cruise ships in port every day with fifteen thousand people hitting the towns which were so touristy
Comment from : @susiegeorge4973

We are from GA and have a cruise planned for June of 2024 Hope we get the three sunny days
Comment from : @bevabadji4157

I know people who have taken this cruise and really enjoyed it Personally, I have zero desire to go The weather is a deal breaker for me
Comment from : @jacolen3791

The weather in Alaska changes just about every 10 minutes Always prepare for rain
Comment from : @jayliu15

We lucked out on our recent Alaska Cruise, Mother Nature was extremely cooperative, given that we were travelling to a rainforest Juneau Alaska was Sunny and 78, we just took it and ran with it
Comment from : @leehubbell9636

Our Alaskan cruise in 2017, we had sunny 70 degree days daily for almost over a week It was gorgeous!!!
Comment from : @tamismithmyer4955

Are kids allowed in the NCL indoor pool?
Comment from : @imalltheway

Went to Alaska in early September and no rain days Pick the Line that gives you max time in the Ports you want to visit
Comment from : @davidandrew1078

What month did you take the cruise?
Comment from : @RevolutionaryThinking

I accept the Alaska weather as the price of keeping Californians from moving to Alaska and voting for the same conditions that motivated them to leave California
Comment from : @davehconner

Hi, did you have to pack repellent for mosquitoes? I recently heard I need to but no one mentioned it in any videos
Comment from : @gigivelazquez

Gloom would be difficult for me
Comment from : @nanfrostsfashionfocusstyle6250

There are lots of eagles in Juneau too They must have been fishing Haha - That's true When you don't see the eagles, they are probably in the river I picked this video for my Alaska Bush Life pick of the day for July 7, 2023 Nice job!!! Oh, and you might want to bring one pair of shorts because you could encounter warmer weather
Comment from : @AuthorMelissaCook

I'd love to see a video of what you enjoyed most Was it worth it considering the weather?
Comment from : @NALChurchMC

I came back to watch this now that we've taken our first Alaska cruise, and these are definitely all true! I didn't wear any of my shorts or short-sleeve shirts We had terrible weather in Juneau, too, but thankfully it didn't affect our whale watching tour Our bus driver in Ketchikan told us that they get 13 FEET of rain a year, BUT they get much less snow than we do in Wisconsin, so that kind of surprised me too
Comment from : @HeatherTravels

Good tips I’m glad we watched I had three shorts packed and the one I would of been wearing to Seattle Down to one for the trip to and from
Comment from : @cruisinkoozies

I loved the light! I took a Alaskan cruise about 18 years ago and the cruise people told us we lucked out as we only had one day of rain It was a wonderful cruise but as I said we were very lucky with the weather I would love to go again before I leave this earth
Comment from : @tonim5924

bald eagles were grounded! This cracked me up
Comment from : @jerseygoodgurl24

Great tip but I grew up in New England so weather did not bother me I would arrive several days early if coming from the east coast to adjust for the time change A small back pack, good binoculars, and rain gear a must Other than that just enjoy the great outdoors and wildlife We will be coming back for many more AK cruises in the future
Comment from : @samquinn6427

Alaska is considered as part of a rain forest
Comment from : @marycubelo-hinton9158

Did anyone cruise to Alaska in October??
Comment from : @idleedle

What month in the year did you guys go on this cruise?
Comment from : @nexusSix_237

What month did you go?
Comment from : @tinawimberley4285

I took a cruise on royal brTo Alaska and didn’t really enjoy it brI found it boring and brWe are the kinda people that don’t show our wealth and got pretty womenned
Comment from : @thegrumpydragon7601

More than a few years ago, on Oct 1 there was a light rain in Ketchikan The rest of the cruise was mostly sunny with some clouds Not another drop of rain, and I wore shorts often Rare, of course, but I'm glad I had shorts It was the last cruise of the season, and the crew said it was the best weather of the season
Comment from : @Hiker_who_Sews

I see you made it to Juneau, there are certain times in the year when we get great weather and it is breathtakingly beautiful You just happened to come on a normal day Try to come in July
Comment from : @thomasmcdonald6533

Hello! What's the season? Was it really cold? Does cruise ship provide warm blankets?
Comment from : @hihihihilollol1

What month did you go?
Comment from : @marioahu5000

Alaska isn't in the eastern time zone? No way Rain in the Pacific Northwest? No way Bald Eagles in Alaska? No way Shorts are perfectly normal in Alaska during the summer months
Comment from : @thechaoscoefficient

Just completed our first cruise We went to Alaska Alaska was gorgeous but the cruise itself was mediocre Do you have a cruise line you recommend?
Comment from : @fatimakhemani2142

New sub's here We try to get to Alaska every year - and often we're going to get their cold weather! We were there for two weeks in August of 2019 and we never once got rain In fact, it was so dry they were worried about wildfires for the first time So we think terrible weather is par for the course See you guys on the next adventure!
Comment from : @welltravelledlife

It's a rainforest Southeast and South Central Alaska (Chugach range, cook inlet)
Comment from : @sleepinglady2778

This why I don’t want to do an Alaska cruise I live on the west coast your so excited for the sun don’t want to miss the sun we do get during those months
Comment from : @wendycastagna8901

I live in Juneau, we get more rain than the PNW and our seasons are a little different than theirs, best chance at decent weather is mid May through mid July Fall starts by the end of July and you might see snow on your Sept cruise
Comment from : @jackieg7941

Great info! Thanks
Comment from : @marieperkins3940

can anyone give me a heads up on cell phone coverage in Alaska? We are doing land and sea next week and can't seem to find out if our verizon phones will workThank you very mch

Comment from : @shoshanachavab

I went in late August > First week of September way back in 2013 Top Tips- brbrCheck your excursions that you want to do If you're booked shoulder May / September your Excursion may not even be running For me a must do was Skagway- White Pass Rail- We got on the LAST train ride of the season brbrSpawning Salmon- This was an amazing thing to witness, times vary depending on port / species but July / August seems to be a sweet spot We caught them in our August / September cruise at all ports we visitedbrbrBring Layers / hat / sunscreen- Our trip was unusually HOT and Sunny I live in Hawaii and I found it uncomfortable to sit outside in the direct sun in a few ports brbrExcursions can get incredibly expensive Anything that goes in the air will approach 1K for a couple But I mean, once in a life time for lots of people right
Comment from : @Komainu959

What a cute couple and so informative! My father is taking this cruise in early June I sent this to him in hopes that it will help him Thank you so much for making this wonderful video!
Comment from : @GoldsGymLisa

It did help me convince my son to get a rain jacket for our upcoming alaska trip
Comment from : @julieamos1633

Definitely my cruise on Golden Princess with family was such a great memory! It was late summer and the weather was mostly sunshine! Lucky us! The lumberjack show, Red Dog saloon, the views of Alaska, were amazing! Being a person that is interested in hydraulics & Ship structure, I was amazed how the 950' 109K ton ship could go UP the Tracy Arm Fiord as the tide was exiting? Icebergs were on ground creating huge wakes as the outgoing tide ran past them! Those ice bergs were only 150 yards off both sides of the ship and all this with offering so many restaurants / bars & amenities Getting out of bed about 4:30- 5 am every morning to watch us pull into port as I had Bagel, cream cheese & lox W/Coffee, was so awesome as very few people are up around the ship at this time Our family stills used the Phrase from Red-Dog Saloon years later when someone walks through the door! " hey, look who's here? WHO GIVES A SH"t, LOL
Comment from : @bigdh2os814

go in june & you will see a bunch more…we were out on a 30’ boat & had a baby whale come up to about 5’ away from us, he lifted his head & his eye was the size of a softball
Comment from : @bigtxsdude

We're going on an Inside Passage Alaskan Cruise during the first week in May (2023) brI realize that the forecast is unpredictable; having said that, what temperature range should we expect? (please let me know if you state the temperature range in Celsius or Fahrenheit)brI will have a packable hooded long rain jacket, that provides NO warmth; however, I will have something fleece underneath, oh, and I plan on utilizing a waterproof backpack on excursionsbrI plan on dressing in layers brI plan on wearing stretch hiking pants, which are VERY thin, and wearing a base-layer polyester legging underneath, that can be removed brI just don't want my legs to very very cold, so I'm trying to decide if I should layer thin pants or layer jeans brI only plan on wearing jeans on the flight to/from Vancouver, from Arizona brOur first Alaskan Inside Passage Cruise was in September 2016 and it stayed dark longer, mornings were 30 degrees F and highs were 50 degrees F, and until the sun rose and sort of warmed up the environment, it was very cold (we live in Southern AZ and we left temps that were in the 90s, at that time) brI'm open to suggestionsbrThank you
Comment from : @efisher14

Alaska not like the Caribbean😂
Comment from : @richardstewart5703

Went to Alaska 2 x Underwhelming in April 2013 and again in July 2022 Not trying for a third time 🎉!
Comment from : @susankara7520

What was the itinerary for your cruise?
Comment from : @beatoutcancer

Hahaha bald eagles Yes! I remember as a kid (and adult) listening to all this talk of how the bald eagle is almost extinct and most Americans will never see one And, while they were saying THAT on the news, I would have seen at least 3-5
Comment from : @arlettasloan6453

love it! short and simple!
Comment from : @samv9365

We are going the first week of August I’m trying to get suggestions whether it’s better to ATV in Sitka or Icy Straight Point Did you guys ATV at all?
Comment from : @angelaphillips6941

what month did you go to Alaska? Did it say June? Was it during the first week?
Comment from : @homerluv3r

I'm on Carnival Luminosa in September 2024 to Akaska I always book a balcony, I'm so excited, and I hope to see the whales and other animals like my nephew who's stationed in Alaska Thank you for the tips, especially about the excursion tips I love the cool weather, and I heard it rains a lot in september Yes, indeed, this has helped me even though it's next year Thank you!
Comment from : @lisastrange6754

I invite you to Scotland, It rains most days
Comment from : @andrewdavidloch360

A lot of people don’t know that: “Southeast Alaska lies at the heart of the North American temperate rainforest — a forest that extends in a narrow 2,500-mile coastal strip from northern California, along coastal British Columbia, and to the eastern edge of the Kodiak archipelago in southcentral Alaska” And that’s why is rains I had no idea until I went in 2021
Comment from : @karliedwards9526

We went in mid August and it was overcast every morning when we got off the ship One port the sun came out at noon and the temperature warmed up, so we shed our rain jackets and walked around in short sleeves We had one port with a slight misty rain, but it only lasted a short time I wore jeans most days, but did wear capris a few days as well We are going again this July, so I am curious if it will be warmer
Comment from : @tatrojan57

Ketchican (sp) is the rainest port
Comment from : @Remember_when

What di you think about the ship you were on?
Comment from : @ZPX945

I remember in 2012 we cruised to Canada one stop Nova Scotia I forgot the other port Sept 2012 Carnival we saw sun we went to get something we dress in summer we had to back on ship change
Comment from : @michaelfacevedo3718

What time of year did you go?
Comment from : @luisastepancic5138

Thanks so much for posting! First time in Alaska coming up this May 2023 Been watching a lot of Alaska videos This one gave me even more info If I didn't know when seeing the bald eagles from far, I would have thought they were seagulls What was your sail date if you don't mind me asking?
Comment from : @AronRoss72

good tips, I have my first Alaska cruise coming up this May, I figure it will be cold and wet
Comment from : @ExploreTravelTV

I go on I go to Alaska in May on Norwegian Jewl so I’m so excited It’s going to be my first cruise So any advice would be great
Comment from : @cathytetreault4770

Is April month a good time to visit Alaska?
Comment from : @shashanknampalli320

You guys have a lot of "excitement energy" coming through your video! Love energy back it y'all
Comment from : @elenabrighton2471

5 times I've cruised to Alaska and everyone has been a pleasure! Sitting on the balcony and watching the scenery and whales go by is a must - - We found down throws (blankets) at Costco one year and they are standard items for the trips - nothing like sitting on your balcony with your thermal coffee mug and your down blanket to leave the whole world behind!!
Comment from : @sherigreene7028

Note to self: Cancel Alaskan cruise brbrThanks for the info!
Comment from : @sub222marathon

This is good information We are just in the beginning phase of planning an Alaska cruise We are not avid cruisers We have only done a European river cruise which was incredible A large cruise ship will be a totally new experience for us
Comment from : @mgweir3252

WHEN I WAS IN SKAGWAY I ASKED A LADY IN THE STORE IF EVERYONE HAD THEIR OWN BALD EAGLE AND SHE SAID YES PRETTYMUCH
Comment from : @johnquinn5104

Thank you
Comment from : @SG-si1sx

If you'd gone to Whittier, Seward, or Anchorage and done a land tour, your shorts could come in handy when you went up north Fairbanks regularly hits the 80s in the summer and 90s aren't as rare as you'd think But, yeah, if you're on an Alaska cruise and see someone in shorts and a t-shirt, they are likely locals We sport the tourists by their windbreakers or even puffy jackets in the middle of summer Good rain jackets are a mustI should really get around to buying one
Comment from : @jasonbailey9139

I cruised Alaska summer 2013 Every day was sunny and warm They had a heat wave 🌊 I had a suitcase packed with coats, gloves, scarves It was never opened
