We’re going back to Alaska for our 3rd time at the end of July. Hoping the weather will be nice…at least, in the 70s. I got sunburned once sitting on my balcony in Ketchikan but at other times I was wishing I had brought warm snow boots! Not because of snow just because it was cold and rainy! We always go in July or early August. It’s like a box of chocolates—you never know what you’re going to get!

Yes it has a tendency to get cold in Alaska. Glad you enjoyed your cruise and hope it doesn’t take another 21 years for your next cruise!
