Alaska July 29 or August 26 (weather etc.)?

Hello again. My second-ever post here at Cruise Critics :) we have a choice of going on the Vancouver round trip Glacier Bay & Tracy Arm cruises either 7/29/06 or 8/26/06.

 

Do you know if there are significant weather differences between those dates, both for warmth and for sea conditions?

 

Also, would you expect fewer kids on the late August date, or about the same number on either date.

 

Thanks again!

The July date will offer more daylight and should be (a degree or two) warmer on average. Since both are before Lablr Day, # of kids should be about equal.

Rain can happen anytime:( ....but usually less rain in July than in August. Temps should be about the same. "You pays ya money and ya takes ya chances".
