Our May 31, 2014 cruise to Alaska on the Jewel

[April7901]

And we've booked another Alaska cruise -- May 7, 2015 on the Jewel!

9-days and great port times!!! :D

 

We'll be crossing paths - I promise to leave the ports in tact if you do!

Will we be in any of the port at the same time?

Very interesting! Thanks for looking that up. Hey, maybe we'll see each other on the 12th and/or the 13th since GB and Icy Straight Point are not that far apart. I'll be taking pictures of the beautiful Pearl if I see her on our cruise!

Brunolvr, Great pics and thanks for taking the time to post the review. I have a few questions:

1. In your opinion what is best month to cruise Alaska?

2. Is pricing better at the beginning or end of season?

3. In your opinion which cruise line is the best; or better, which gives you the best return for the money?

Thanks

Maybe so! I'll wave from deck 13 :)

We prefer to cruise to Alaska the end of May or first of June. We have had excellent weather for the most part cruising at those times. If you book early enough, we have found the prices to be about the same early/late in the season. We have only cruised NCL so I can't say which cruise line is better. We have been happy with NCL and plan on to keep cruising NCL.

I know, I know, dress in layers. LOL. I am doing the land/cruise end of May/first of June 2015. Normal weather is? I've been told layers and I plan on doing that but any tips on clothing so I can lighten the load in my suitcase?:D
