star7228 Posted August 20, 2006 #1 Share Posted August 20, 2006 My husband and I are thinking of taking an Alaskan cruise next summer, and I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions as to the best time to visit. We are on a teacher's schedule, so mid-June to mid-August is what works for us. I didn't know if there was a particular time during the summer months that was best. Also, just wondering what the difference is between sailing Glacier Bay or Sawyer Glacier. Any feedback is much appreciated. Thanks much! :) Amy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyIL Posted August 20, 2006 #2 Share Posted August 20, 2006 The weather changes from one year to the next, but based on the weather so far THIS August, I wouldn't want to go then. We're cruising June 6-13, 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
star7228 Posted August 21, 2006 Author #3 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Great. Thanks! I think I'll plan maybe the 1st week in July or last in June. Thanks much for the response. :) What ship are you taking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budget Queen Posted August 21, 2006 #5 Share Posted August 21, 2006 There are no guarantees on weather. I've been touring Alaska for over the last 10 mid to late August. Go with what fits your timeframe best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbisson Posted August 21, 2006 #6 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I gotta agree with BQ. The weather really is unpredictable, so book what works for you time wise (and financially) then cross your fingers. -Monte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChelseaM Posted August 21, 2006 #7 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Our cruise was from June 24th - July 1st, and we had rain/cloudy skys every day, highs in the 50s-60s. The following week was 70s and sunny. So you never know. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
