Best time to Cruise Alaska?

[mj]

Recently, saw a very good deal for Alaska in September. It was around Labor Day. For those of you who have cruised, what is the weather like in Alaska in September? Is it a good time to go or is there a better time. From looking online, it suggested that Alaska receives a lot of rain in September.

 

Wouldl ove to hear various comments about when is a good time to go to Alaska.

Hi,:D I have been in Sept (last year) and going again Labor

Day week this year:D

Yes, Sept can be rainey and prices are looking really good:)

I just pack accordingly and still have a fabulous time no matter

what the weather!

Everyone has their own preferences though. Others may say

they will only go in the beginning of the season (May) while

other folks might be able to only go during the mid summer

months.

The first time I went was May 2006 and it was quite sunny.

Last year it did rain but I didn't care. I wore appropriate clothing

and loved it again.

I picked Sept this time around again due to the good $$$

which for me, is a big factor.

Have a wonderful time, no matter when you go:D

Alaksa is totally majestic.

I prefer the period from mid-July to mid-Aug from a weather point of view. However that said the weather in Alaska in extremely variable. We are going in mid-September this year but really don't expect much in the way of weather, we are just doing as a fun thing with some neighbors.
