thanks for the info, if you have any other tips about the Alaska cruise on the NCL Jewel, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again from a first time cruiser....

Yes, definitely take sun tan lotion and also sun glasses and a hat.

Always take suntan lotion and a hat. You might not need them, but better to have them. It is often sunny in Alaska.

I always take suntan lotion to Alaska -- I burn very easily -- especially my nose and forhead. Wind burn is a big problem for me.

Definitely take sun glasses -- glare from the water.

Yes! I have gotten sunburned on Alaskan cruises twice. The first time, I had planned to pack sunscreen, but forgot. It is very expensive in the ship's shop. The second time I had sunscreen with me, but neglected to put it on. That time I wish I had brought aloe vera, and would have gladly paid any price for it in the ship's shop, but they didn't have any. :(

We sailed on September 1st out of Seattle and had fabulous weather for most of our cruise (except Juneau and Sitka). The pic below was taken the afternoon before we sailed in to Victoria on Sept 7th (please excuse my white legs lol). You may not need sunscreen, but then again, you might ;)

Do you burn easily?

DW and I have taken two Alaska cruises, both in August. She took sunscreen along and used it since she burns easily.

Better to be safe than sorry.

Happy Sailing!
