[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 752218, member: 9789"] I did an Alaskan cruise The week before Labor Day and that is about as late as you want to go. Fortunately the weather was great, BUT at the College Fjords or Glacier Bay we were all bundled up.... and I mean bundled. The sun was setting about 10 minutes earlier each day. I recommend you get a balcony and you can really enjoy the Fjords from your room. You can go in and out of the balcony and the room and not be bundled up. Also the stores are starting to close down and you can get great deals in some areas. By mid September the stores are closed down for winter. One more thing about the Northern Lights. They are tied to sun spot activity. There has to be a solar flare to get the lights. Besides the immediate activity (when a flare comes up) approx. a month later you will get the same conditions for Northern Lights. [/QUOTE]
