Review summary

Go to Alaska before August 15th.... We went the last cruise of the year, and,,,, too cold. We didn't see any whales and fishing was way to cold. Do the train, it was fun.

Did the specialty restaurants, they were nice, but, it was a pain scheduling and such. Probably, will just do the normal dinning moving forward.

I think it's pretty hit or miss. We went September 1st - 8th of this year (just a few weeks ago) and we had weather in the 70's and saw tons of whales. I'm sorry you didn't get to see any whales, I know I would have been crushed if we hadn't seen any. I hope you try it again and have better luck 🙂
