TheSecondSister Posted May 2, 2015 #1 Share Posted May 2, 2015 My sister and I are boarding HAL's Westerdam in just a few hours for the first Alaskan cruise of this year. We are going to have so much fun and if you'd like to follow along, our blog is http://twocruisingsisters.wordpress.com. There will be photos. There will be dinner menus. There will be lots running commentary ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trophy_23 Posted May 2, 2015 #2 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Have a great time! We loved Alaska in May, the scenery was 'more white' than it is later in the season when a lot of the snow goes away. I guess that depends what kind of winter they had though. Either way it should be fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peety3 Posted May 4, 2015 #9 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Definitely not the first cruise of the Alaskan season. Maybe for you, but not for the overall big picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSecondSister Posted May 4, 2015 Author #10 Share Posted May 4, 2015 The weather is fantastic so far. We are so fortunate. We've see porpoises and whales already (check my blog for pix if you want). My sister and I are heading out for a whale watch and I hope to have some show off worthy photos. But I'll leave you with sunny, warm (52) Juneau. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old As Dirt Mom Posted May 4, 2015 #11 Share Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) Definitely not the first cruise of the Alaskan season. Maybe for you, but not for the overall big picture. The Westerdam was the first cruise ship to leave Seattle this year. It's the first ship into Juneau this year. The Solstice is second into Juneau by half an hour:) The Westerdam will also be the first ship into Glacier Bay this season when they arrive there. Can't speak for Sitka or Ketchikan:) Edited May 4, 2015 by middle-aged mom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
