Hi Lois, good for you, was in Alaska back in 08, on Rcl Serenade of the Seas, now am going on Radiance in Sept and I can't wait,:) have been wantin to go, so... Maybe someday, I will cruise in May up there. The last two cruises, one was to Mexico and the pacific coastal cruise. Had looked into next Oct, on the Jewel, on another pacific coastal cruise, but Alaska has been calling me, so... Virginia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaska05 Posted April 4, 2015 #17 Share Posted April 4, 2015 We're going back too this year. Have done 3 Alaska cruises with the last one being in 2008. We were scheduled for a back to back in 2009 but had to cancel a few days prior to departure due to a sudden illness. Can't wait to cruise in May since all our others were in July. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poolwife Posted April 21, 2015 #21 Share Posted April 21, 2015 You mentioned "May" is your favorite month for Alaska. Why? I am sailing on May 12. This is our first time going to Alaska that early. Was wondering why you felt that way. Thank you. Sherry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowPrincess Posted April 22, 2015 #22 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Poolwife, one of my reasons is that May works well for my work schedule, usually. :) And we have been extremely fortunate with weather in May, mostly sunny and not cold (but weather is weather..... so no guarantees). Also, there's usually still snow on the mountain tops (lovely to see). And the locals are not yet burned out from the summer onslaught of tourists. LoisR, I bet you can hardly control your excitement! (We leave on May 18th... it is finally sinking in that I have less than a month :D ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
