Thank you all so much, so many great posts with fabulous advice. Just hoping by May Covid settles down again as I don't fancy being stuck in quarantine on a cruise such as this!

That's really helpful thank you., It's just so difficult to work out what you need when you are going somewhere you have never been before. Places like Orlando you know will be hot and wet whilst Vegas you know it will be hot. Our itinerary is below so I think you have all given great advice and I suspect as you say I am sure the provider will loan out anything major we need, I'll have another chat with the Travel company. Thank you all again.

Good shout thanks, yeah the guy in Millet's said the Parkers are big and bulky and there was a thin but warm puffa style jacket that was waterproof so I'll probably get that as it's a decent coat here for these windy wet days!

Thank you all for your replies. There is a sale at Millett's so I'll grab some thermal's and a fleece which I can always wear on the golf course anyway. Half price jacket will probably grab as well and I'll pack my golf waterproof trousers. Only thing on that link I'm not sure about is hiking boots. We won't be doing any hiking and certainly wouldn't wear them at home so will see if there are some waterproof walking boots or similar which I can use again.

Thank you, so T Shirt, Thermal T Shirt, Fleece, Decent Coat rather than a jumper with one massive parker over the top!

Hi couldn't find any relevant posts so hope you don't mind me asking. After a few Canaries Cruises with TUI we have decided to do Canada and Alaska this year with the Alaska Cruise on the Celebrity Solstice. I am just trying to find some decent advice with regard to whether we will need specific clothing on the trip as obviously unsure of the temperature, especially in Alaska in May. We are doing a few excursions such as Columbia Icefield Discovery whilst in Canada and then Alaska Hubbard Glacier Cruise. Just wondering if we needed to purchase anything that we will probably never wear again like a really warm coat, special boots, Waterproof Trousers, that sort of thing or can you just get away with the usual winter wear you would wear in the UK? Apologies if it seems a stupid question but as I say have never visited before. Thank you.
