I read all thru these postings and just wanted to add my two cents. Glen and I first went to Alaska in '98. We were scheduled to go the first week in June but the ship was overbooked so we went the third week. The weather was really gorgeous. Scuttlebut had it that it rains three days out of seven but that week it rained for about 20 minutes when we were in Ketchikan.
We went back in August of '08 and took a different tour because I wanted to see Sitka, which is not quite as Russian as I expected. Would love to see Dutch Harbor sometime. The nicest light we saw on that trip was Rockwell light. Those of you who regularly do the postcard exchange, I sent an Alaska card which had Rockwell Lighthouse pictured. The first cruise we had a cabin with a picture window and the second we had a balcony. On the first we were up on the top deck when we went to the glaciers.
If you never cruised and think you might be subject to seasickness, get a pair of the bracelets. They really work.
