becauseisaidso13 Posted May 4, 2004 #1 Share Posted May 4, 2004 We are going on the Spirit on July 24th to Alaska. We are so very excited and have started reading books on alaska already. I know nothing about anything when it comes to alaska!!! Some of my questions are: 1. In July when they say rainy do they mean drizzly or downpours?? Do we need rain pants or just raincoats? 2. Some tours mention bringing cold weather wear--which portion of the tours are the colder parts and how cold can it get on those portions. 3. How difficult are the level 3 trips compared to level 2. My husband and I are in our 40's and fine with walking a couple of miles-but mainly if Starbucks is the destination. 4. We are in Skagway, Juneau, Ketchikan, prince rupert. When it comes to tour selection, which is the best place for glacier walking/whale watching/helicoptor tours(although i am afaid of heights). Thank you thank you thank you...

Rare misguy Posted May 5, 2004 #2 Share Posted May 5, 2004 I am on the Spirit on 5/15, and I will have a lot of information when I come back. You might want to check the Alaska Forum under the Ports of Call. I have learned a great deal from the individuals there. Till we sail on the Norwegian Spirit \Leo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathyHKidd Posted May 7, 2004 #3 Share Posted May 7, 2004 I've cruised Alaska four times, and am about to book my fifth. I don't have time right now to post a whole Alaska critique, but I have one written if you'll email me. KathyHKidd@aol.com is my screen name. In Alaska, "rain" means rain. The port cities are in a rainforest. If you can't have fun in the rain, go elsewhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
