Please let us know if we can answer any questions about visiting Alaska on a cruise ship.
We are taking this same cruise in August, with all the same stops. I noticed you said you had a difficult time spotting whales because it mostly happened at daybreak, but which stop, from what you heard had the highest chance of spotting whales? Want to make sure to give that stop top priority. Thanks!!!
HI Alyssa,
We were told that whales could happen in any of the ports or parts of the cruise. The ship did a great job of letting us know when it was a high probability of seeing whales. I think we did not see them as much because of the time of year we went and the misty mornings with the weather. We are going again this August and really hoping that the whale viewing is better. I have heard great things about cruising to Alaska in August and can’t wait to do it.
Very good info. Lucky me I came across your website by accident (stumbleupon).
I’ve bookmarked it for later!
