STIS - do we think the first week of June would be too early for an Alaskan cruise.

Posted by MojaveMeg (aka Mojave) Nov 27 '09, 19:28

I so want to go cruising again and the price is right on this one - which may mean there's a good reason.

You're more likely to see Orcas, Narwhals, Sperm Whales, all kinds of bears, etc - Trish Nov 27, 20:40 2
- I would probably be looking at late May/early June which should miss the summer rush. And I think Royal Caribbean skews a little older. -- nm - MojaveMeg Nov 27, 20:53

Mom said she did one in the spring that wasn't too bad, its not artic frostbite cold, its just chilly and damp and drizzly -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 27, 20:27
I did a transfer cruise so we ended going early in the season, like May. You want the early nights, especially to see the Northern Lights. -- nm - Mop Nov 27, 19:52 10
- Hmmm. September would be warmer and darker. - psilotum Nov 27, 20:01 9
  - Mid to late September is the end of the season. There are some good fares then, but a lot of them are for trips leaving from Seattle and returning to - MojaveMeg Nov 27, 20:05 8
    - Hey when you come up, give us a heads up and we'll have a Meg'stravanza - zeitgeist Nov 27, 20:30 3
      - It's a little far to drive and I really want to do the train thing. I'd like to stop over in Portland and Seattle and expect 'stravaganzas in - MojaveMeg Nov 27, 20:37 2
        
        woot! -- nm - psilotum Nov 27, 22:14
        
        It looks like a 2 day trip by train, get to portland by 3ish, or seattle by 9 (tacoma by 7:30) -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 27, 20:44
    - An Alaska cruise is on my list. (Hey no travel costs to the port of call!) -- nm - psilotum Nov 27, 20:12 3
      - That's why I may finish up on another Mexican cruise - 20 minute drive to the Port of Los Angeles :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Nov 27, 20:18 2
        
        you're just jonesing for a road trip in your new jeep -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 27, 20:31 1
        
        Nah, I have other plans for that :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Nov 27, 20:37
No personal experience, but I imagine all Alaska cruises will be "bundled" experiences. - psilotum Nov 27, 19:45
