We went in 2018 and are going back this summer. We loved it! We were very fortunate to have practically perfect weather. We went the first week of August. Highs at sea were in the 60s or low 70s, lows in the 40s. In port, the temp was around 80. It did not rain at all when we were in Alaska (unless it was while we were sleeping). It sprinkled a little in Victoria. I will be shocked if we have that kind of weather again, though. Alaska is magnificent. It was cool to see the biodiversity. In school, I never cared much for history but I loved learning about the history of Alaska on our cruise. There was a retired school teacher who gave lectures. For us, it was the opportunity to see and do things we would not normally. I can't wait to go back.
