Does that itinerary include Glacier Bay? If not... look for one that includes it.

thnks for all replies re early May. sounds like pack those layers, be prepared for rain, and enjoy.

Thanks to all CC responses to me, all being very helpful, and all being reassuring , think we'll go ahead.

getting ready to book a balcony for may 5 2018 on Princess for inside passage. Know the price is good cause early in season, anyone had bad experience because of the colder weather expected for that time of year? did it deter in any way? don't want to "freeze" out on the deck looking at beautiful sites.
