On the Solstice now...amazing day in Tracy Arm

[ORV]

We're on board the one that starts on the 31st.

 

How's the weather, how did you dress on deck and were you comfortable?

 

Thanks for your reports while on board.

Your photograph is amazing. I must go on an Alaskan cruise soon!

 

GO GO GO GO GO!!!

I was just there last August on a one-way stopping in Denali afterwards. I'm still jealous seeing people start to post their AK photos, I want to go again!

The weather for the entire cruise (with the exception of a few hours of rain one day) was PERFECT. From what we were told this is the exception and not the rule this time of year.

 

On deck, a sweatshirt was fine for me, although many wore coats. During our visit to Tracy Arm it was very cold, so a coat, hat and gloves were necessary.

Thanks for sharing, Derek. Having been on this sailing, I share some of your concerns re: the quality of food and the communication problems.

 

Hope your travels home are/were good..
