Answer
Hi there and welcome to the wonderful sights of an Alaskan cruise !!!

I have had many clients recently return from Alaska with reports of GREAT WEATHER.....even to the degree that they were able to catch some rays on their balconies in their bathing suits on some days !

Temps. within Alaska will vary from highs of 60 - 70 degress to lows of 30's and possibly lower.....Best suggestions regarding clothing is to dress in layers and bring a poncho or slicker for those potential rainy days that you mat encounter.You will also want to bring a good set of binoculars and an umbrella as well as a warm coat and sweaters underneath (thus the layering affect). Dress code will be business casual during the days for the most part and evenings for dinner will vary and this question would be best researched thru www.celebrity.com.

You are not limited to amount of luggage brought onbaord the ship, but word to the wise is do not overpack.....bring clothing that can be mix and matched for a different look to reduce the amount of clothing brought.

You will get alot of your questions answered if visiting the cruiseline website or speaking with Celebrity or your travel professional that you booked your cruise thru.
