We are going on our first Alaskan cruise next week. We will be on Concierge level. Any must do activities or shows? It's 7 days, what night is the dress up dinner? Onboard will I need to wear my parka?

 

I'm so excited. This is a bucket list trip. Any and all advice will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Be prepared for some cold weather. You probably won’t spend a lot of time in the pool.
 

If you take the train in Skagway sit on the left side on the way up the mountain. It will sync up the commentary with a better view.

if you go to Sitka, the Bald Eagle/wild bird rescue centre is amazing. In Ketchikan, not far from the dock, is a restored area of the original homes from frontier days, including the Madame of the era whose home is a museum   Some interesting shops there with art work etc

Onboard, the shows change so check your app

 

Clothes. Layering is the best way when off ship and having a fold up rain poncho, just in case.  Take binoculars    

 

Have a wonder cruise

Don’t buy any Ulu knives. 
 

Take gloves, hat and ear muffs for standing outside when  looking at the glaciers and ice flows

 

Dress in layers.  It will be chilly in the morning and hot later in the day

 

Take a rain jacket. 
 

Don’t constantly sit by a window watching for wild life.  There really isn’t any to be seen when the ship is sailing.    If there is there will be an announcement.   Chances are you will be on the wrong side of the ship.   If you want to see wild life take an excursion.  
 

Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

You will not need to wear a parka inside the ship.
