SNJCruisers Posted December 8, 2021 #1 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Looking to book a 14 day cruise and weighing the pros and cons time and price wise comparing 3 different dates. The most expensive is late June. Can save 280 pp by booking late May. 560 savings is 560 savings. Can save another 100 pp by going two weeks earlier. So, is there that big of a difference between mid May and late May to pay that extra 200 bucks? 200 bucks, or 760 comparing the first and third choices can go towards excursions, which of course there will be many. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted December 8, 2021 #2 Share Posted December 8, 2021 June will be a little warmer, and the days will be longer. Otherwise you are probably splitting hairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donaldsc Posted December 9, 2021 #3 Share Posted December 9, 2021 One reason that late June might be more expensive is that the kids are off school so families can travel. This means that there will be a greater demand for cruise spots. DON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidi13 Posted December 9, 2021 #4 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Our preference is early/mid June. May often has the least rain and May/June has the added benefit of having more snow on the mountains, and having less kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted December 9, 2021 #5 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Mid to late May...Great prices, weather and usually snow on the mountains. Love to be there when the season first starts out everyone is well rested, happy to see cruiser's and the shops are full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on what cruise line you choose, Holland America is known for more adults. We went mid August and weather was super. We were so lucky. Wanted later in season to be able to get up Tracy Arm in small boat tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking Ocean does one better, as minimum age is 18 at embarkation. Tracy Arm - affirmative, you have a better chance getting into the arm later in the season, as it is often blocked by ice in early season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
