Answer 1

We went last year August 14th.  Had great weather,  about 75 degrees everyday. Not one rain day the whole 7 days. Great cruise, gorgeous scenery, loved every port and would go again in a heartbeat.

You are going to love it.  I think August is a perfect time to go.

Answer 2

I went on a cruise to SE Alaska out of Vancouver in July several years ago. Temps will vary but it can be cool and rainy and when the ship is under way it's very cold and windy. Don't expect to sunbathe on deck on an Alaska cruise and don't take kids because they will be bored to death.

Answer 4

The weather should be nice.  Cruise ships only do the Alaska cruise in the summer months for that reason.  Warm days,  cool nights, maybe a little rain, only because Alaska does get a lot of rain in the inside passage area.  We had one night of a little rain and none during the day.  I would love to do this cruise again.  You're going to love it!!!!!!!

Answer 5

Weather normally in the 70's but, temp is always alittle cooler on the water. Take a light jacket & lots of film & get ready to meet people from all over the world. Great place. In Ketchikan go to the Salmon Mall at end of pier. Many stores great prices. Do not buy souvenirs on ship. Example T-Shirt $15.00 in port $5.00. See Alaska Shirt.com.

ENJOY.
