I'm not going this year, but have cruised to Alaska 3 times before....You will LOVE it...after 23 cruises, Alaska is still my favorite....Take the White Pass Railroad in Skagway...and May is my favorite time to go also....Alaska looks like what you would expect to see then.....lots of snow on the mountains...
Have s splendid time...
Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau, maybe some whale watching.....Lots of shopping in every port...
I've been on the Pearl twice and she is a fantastic ship.....Captain Lars is a Hoot...
