Hello artbcpa,

Thank you for all your post and photos I have been reading them with great interest as we have booked the same cruise next year and my main concern has been the weather.

Did sailing so late in the season course problems.

We have been concerned that tours would be cancelled due to weather and so on.

Also I didn't see any photos of bears was it too late for them?

Was the weather very cold that very day you could not go on the deck ?

Thank you for any more assistance

regards Shyla100

Going so late in the season may have resulted in more rainy days, though my recollection from earlier trips is that many of those same stops were rainy in mid summer - Juneau, Ketchikan, Sitka. The temperature was still mild - mid 50s. As far as the excursions, yes there were several that were no longer taking place and we did not see any bears. We did see lots of other wildlife including whales, bald eagles, sea otters and sea lions and the highlight, the glacier calving was excellent. overall, I did not find a big difference going in late September. I remember going fishing in early August and standing out on the boat in full head to foot rain gear and it was pouring and it was miserable. We had some beautiful days as well as some rainy ones. Luckily the day we went to the glacier was beautiful as well as the day we took a hike. I think it is just the luck of the draw.
