Alaska on the Ruby Princess in June help

We booked this cruise and it is our first time to Alaska. Does anybody have any tips or helpful ideas for us?

There are so many excursions it will hard to choose...any ideas for on board too?

Thanks so much

Welcome to Cruise Critic.

Many of us post on the Alaska Board where you can get great ideas on what to do in each port.

I too want to welcome you to Cruise Critic.

Here are some tips on how to dress for the weather - I highly recommend a full zip fleece!

We sailed there on Carnival but I doubt that impacts the weather ;p

Very nice video!

Be prepared for all kinds of weather. Our first time to Alaska, we were able to lay out on the swimming pool deck. Our second time, we had gale force winds and pounding rains. Same week of June but two years later.
