cjnky Posted February 8, 2008 #2 Share Posted February 8, 2008 We were there mid August last year, and needed everything you mentioned. I wore shorts a couple days, winter coat with hat gloves, scarf and thermal underwear some other days! I never used my umbrella, but my water repellent outer jacket came in handy on misty days. In other words, you might as well be prepared for ANY kind of weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happyladi Posted February 9, 2008 #3 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I was there last year in mid August. We had 2 days in the 70's but never needed shorts. I did take a pair just in case. I never used my raincoat, it spit on us a couple of times but not enough to need it. However, I brought it. There were a couple of cold days and I was glad to have a warm polertec coat and hat.

Budget Queen Posted February 9, 2008 #4 Share Posted February 9, 2008 You will be packing the same, no matter when you cruise Alaska. Lightweight lined jacket, layers, 2 pair of walking shoes, knit hat, gloves, rain gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happyladi Posted February 9, 2008 #6 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I rolled my polertec fairly small. Just a windbreaker? It can get very cold on deck. It might be okay with a couple of thick sweaters under it. Is the windbreaker big enough for a couple of sweaters? On Princess ships you can sign out these plaid throws, too. I wore my polertc coat with a sweater under it, a hat, and gloves. I was fine, but not too warm. Of course, you could luck out and have warm weather everyday.
