I always carry ginger; doesn't matter which cruise. That said, IMO, ships on Alaska voyages never even move. ;)

I've been on a least a couple of Alaska cruises where the day North of Vancouver has been rough by almost any standard, but this is maybe one cruise in 4 or 5.

Just returned from the Diamond and it was smooth sailing the entire way. The weather was cold around glacier bay, but the ports were in the high 60's to low 70's. Our day in Vancouver was bright and sunny and wonderful. Went to Victoria too and it was beautiful out.

 

Have a great cruise. We loved it. Try the reindeer chili on top deck on Glacier Bay Day. yUM. They had a really nice Alaska buffet outside at the pool.

We went from Whittier to Vancouver at the end of June. Seas were a bit rough in the Inside Passage between Ketchikan and Vancouver. We have been on plenty of cruises and I admitted to my husband that this was the worst I felt. For the first time I had to take Dramamine.
