LEtue Posted May 11, 2009 Author #101 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I think we're all on the edge of our seats :D I hope you can hold on a little longer! I'm sure we're going to be happy when we get the pricing and the cruise lines usually offers some nice things for groups :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papergypsy Posted May 12, 2009 #103 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Linda, We are doing our first Alaska cruise this year (7 day, Inside Passage), and the anticipation already has us talking about a second and longer cruise next year. Please add me, DH and DD to your growing list of those interested in the pricing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snook Posted May 12, 2009 #105 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Linda: Please change Snook to "Snook and DW". Thanks. You might as well have all you can on the initial estimate. Maybe the more we have the better deal we'll get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEtue Posted May 12, 2009 Author #108 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Okay, so I added a countdown clock to bring us good luck! I'm ready to get booked :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted May 12, 2009 #109 Share Posted May 12, 2009 We have booked the Amsterdam for 2010 -- but not for May. The 14 day Alaskan cruise looks like it is going to be a winner. But May -- too cold and rainy for us -- have already been there and done that during May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But May -- too cold and rainy for us -- have already been there and done that during May. Well since this sailing leaves on May 31 we will really be sailing the first 2 weeks in June :D I have done 2 sailings in May and one was mostly sunny and fairly warm and the other was windy and cold. So you never know from year to year. However, May and June are considered the driest months to travel in Alaska from what I have read here on the boards.......

Krazy Kruizers Posted May 12, 2009 #111 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Having done quite a few Alaskan cruises -- May has been very rainy and cold for us -- no more -- this is one of the reasons why HAL discounts the May and September cruises more than they do for June, July and the first part of August.

LEtue Posted May 13, 2009 Author #112 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I like sailing in June so this will be the perfect trip for me :D I hope you enjoy your cruise too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinknock50 Posted May 13, 2009 #113 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I have actually had a lot of good luck with the weather in May. Ironically, the most rain I had was the 1st week in June on my very first cruise to Alaska in 1997. You actually never know with Alaska......the weather can change at any time, no matter what the month.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncgolferette Posted May 13, 2009 #119 Share Posted May 13, 2009 We made our reservations today for the June 28th sailing. We were tempted to go with the group but decided to do the later sailing. We were not so much concerned about the Alaska weather the first two weeks of June, but the hot weather here in North Carolina upon our return. Now we will have half the summer over when we return. I will be following this board and keeping up with your news. happy sailing!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
