We are thinking of doing a family cruise in mid-August this year. We have been told that June/July is the ideal time because the weather in August can be too problematic. Any comments?<BR><BR>Also, we would appreciate any comments on recommended cruise lines and passages to tour. Many thanks.

Hi Ed,<BR><BR>I have sailed in all months in Alaska and I did not see any difference in the weather. The lower parts of Alaska does get more rain than the upper. Best to take a one way Northbound or Southbound and not the Inside Passage round trip cruises.<BR><BR>Paul

Hi, my family (grandparents, us, and 7,5,and 2 yr old are cruising Aug 23 northbound on Carnival. After much research I dont think weather is that much different than a month earlier. Im doing Carnival because we want a laid back fun cruise AND the kids program accepts 2 year olds.
Join us...or not! if you dont want to be around young kids

We went last yr. in the 3rd week of August. No problems really. It was a bit rainy but no cold really.
