jfogle2017 Posted January 21 #1 Share Posted January 21 We are not new to cruising but we are going on our first Alaska cruise from May 31 - June 7th! We are excited but we don't know how to dress - we have never been to Alaska and usually do warmer weather spots for vacation! Any tips and suggestions are welcomed! 🙂 So excited! It's getting close! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Aurora Posted January 21 #2 Share Posted January 21 Bring layers and don't forget a waterproof (not water resistant) outer layer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Ferry_Watcher Posted January 21 #4 Share Posted January 21 (edited) You just never know about weather. It is important to layer, and as @Northern Aurora said, it is very important to have a waterproof outer layer. As a PNWestern, I highly recommend a layer of fleece, whether it is a jacket, or a vest. Stores are beginning to clear out their winter inventory, so picking up a fleece jacket or vest at a great price over the next couple of months is quite doable. I was on a cruise departing from Vancouver, BC last May '23 and it was unseasonably warm, and I really wished that I had brought cropped/carpi pants. I was also back in Juneau in Oct '23, and again it was rather warm. That said, the day your ship visits the glacier you could find it quite cold, needing a hat and good gloves while you are outside viewing the glacier. I also recommend a pair of waterproof shoes.
