Going by your ratings it was a pretty great cruise, it sounds like you had typical weather for Alaska in September, as others have said researching your trip even minimally would have given you this information. Further info about your experience with airport and airline would’ve been helpful.

Would be helpful if you included the reason why to not use Vancouver Airport

Sorry this cruise didn’t meet your expectations. Mother Nature can be frustrating to cruisers.

The Alaska cruise is in a rainforest and the weather reflects that. If you had done any research you would know the weather is unpredictable
