04/27/11 DCL's WONDERful LA-VANCOUVER REPO ON THE WAY TO ALAKSA

[gydell]

I have started a list in a spreadsheet. Take a peek at the first post... I've already listed info I need. Once I hear from others I will get something more concrete. Thanks!

Thanks!!!

Basing it on Juneau, I've found info that in May, the average high MAXIMUM is 53º and the low 39º!
I for one am going to get some Damart Thermolactyl !!! Used that stuff when I was a letter carrier in Pittsburgh and it's WONDERful!!!

UNPREDICTABLE!
When we went in May on Holland America back in the 90's we were told that was the temperature and that it would rain probably every day.

It was unseasonably warm and I remember one day it was 78 degrees. We only had one afternoon of a light drizzle for about 2 hours, the rest of the time it was beautiful.

My suggestion.....layered clothing.

Good Morning!!!

So far we have
19 cruisers
12 staterooms
06 B2B

and it's only the 2nd day... 500+ to go!

Add us to the list.
Doing both the repo to Vancouver and the inaugural Alaska Cruise. So list us as B2B.

Good point, but... to be prepared... at least one of my layers will be long underware... just to be safe!

Hello!

Tentatively add us to the list. As silvers, we're not booked yet, but we've got our request in to DU! It's just the two of us (Brandi & Chad), sailing for our 10-year anniv.

Initially, we thought about Alaska, but frankly the pricing of the balconies made me lose sight temporarily in my left eye. Though I think DH will be sad about not getting to pan for gold

The repo itinerary looks great! One or both of us have been to most of the ports, which actually encourages us more. S. Cal - yaaay! SF- goooood, Vancouver - bueno! Though the question is what days to add before and/or after. I've never been to S. Cal and am dying to visit Disneyland, and DH would love to kill a few days in San Diego. But I've been to Vancouver and think DH would find it amazing. Decisions, decisions.

Phew...am I really thinking this far ahead and the cruise isn't even booked yet?

I know I don't need to suggest it, but maybe you need "anti-freeze".

I'm wearing a fleece lined coat at night in Atlanta when it's high 70's. I'm in big trouble! May have to get some ski clothes!!!

 

[CustardTart]

I'm booked

And we're in too! Very happy to see some familiar faces (Hi Brandi!) and that includes you too, Nan!!! Hey, any chance we can get Brenda onboard???

We are also doing this cruise B2B with the first Alaskan cruise. A sweet 13 days of new Disney experiences.

Oh all you folks who are CLEARLY not from Rochester, NY!! The weather in Alaska in May is going to feel like a balmy Spring day for us!! OK, well that's probably stretching the truth a bit...BUT....our winter clothes by late April/early May will only have been packed up for a few weeks as our "winter" doesn't feel like it really ends here until mid to late March at least (last year it snowed here in the first week of April). So while it's uncommon for me and Jason to vacation somewhere where it isn't warm (which isn't a shock since about the only place we vacation is WDW ), the weather won't be too big an issue for us....it just means we'll spend less time sunbathing on Deck 10!!

Hoping to join you all on the B2B. Only a silver, so I'll know next Monday. Fingers crossed!!!

Being a Canadian from Southwestern Ontario I can totally relate...I think we'll be the only ones up on deck in our shorts as we'll be thinking it's warm!!!!!!

weather won't both me on the cruise. I can be here in NJ in winter wearing shorts and a sweatshirt, so if the weather is above 10 degrees I'll be fine with weather anywher warm or cold

In Ontario, huh? We're kinda almost neighbors! We go into Ontario frequently for weekend trips up to Toronto! (although i fyou're in southwest Ontario I gather you're probably farther down towards Michigan? My parents live in the UP of Michigan and they probably drive through your neck of the woods when they are coming to visit us as they cross into Canada at Port Huron and back into the US near Niagara and/or Buffalo)

 

[Mickey&JoshNut]

We live just outside Hamilton.....you pass right by our exit on your way to Toronto!!!!!

For those who would like to be added to the roster... please send me a PM with the info on the first post. You can send it in stages. I have several who haven't booked yet on the list. This way I won't miss anyone's request.

Thanks!

 

[fourfoxesinpa]

We're in for the repo. I'll send a PM when we get official confirmation from DU.

 

[Mickey&JoshNut]

Georgie....do I need to send you a PM?????
