spidybabe Posted February 15, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 15, 2018 We sailed 2 years ago in August to Alaska roundtrip form Seattle and loved it. We hopefully have another opportunity to go again this year. We loved when we went in mid august, but this year we are unsure of when we can go. We saw there is a sailing Sept 30th into the first week of October. Question-how is Alaska then? Still any wildlife, snowy? Mostly concerned about wildlife. Thanks for any and all info Safe sailing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted February 15, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Just a little reading down the board would reveal many discussions about cruising Alaska in September...it gets colder, wetter and darker as the month progresses. There have been significant (negative) weather events in September. Sailing in October is a little new, but I think you can see the trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted February 15, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 15, 2018 We have always preferred mid to late May for 3 of our 4 Alaska cruises. We did one in early September...let's just say we'll continue to stick with May. So I can't imagine October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie11 Posted February 15, 2018 #4 Share Posted February 15, 2018 (edited) The weather can be really bad or really nice.... What ship is this? There are no ships scheduled in the major Alaska ports after the end of September. My concern would be about shore activities and tours. Most tourist venues would be shut down by then.

I was surprised to see one so late in the year Safe sailing Sent from my SM-N950U using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
