Weather on Quantum of the Seas   Recently updated !


The weather plays a significant role in whether you enjoy something or not. Let’s talk about the weather.

Alaska

We have been to Alaska 2 times before this trip. Let’s break it down.

2015

We came in June, and the weather was nice and sunny, except for Ketichan, where it rained.

2018

We came back, and this time, it was in the last part of May. It stormed for most of the trip, but it was nice and sunny in Ketichan.

2024

Yes, it is approaching the end of the season for cruising to Alaska, and it is getting a bit colder as it is in September. How did the weather fair?

Weather

September 16

We left the house, and I had shorts on. It was nice and warm and felt good

I got to the cruise port, which was nice and sunny in Seattle, Washington.

September 17

It was a sea day, and well, it got colder, and it rained.

September 18

It was a day in Sitka, and it rained and was cold.

September 19

It was a day in Skagway, and it rained and was cold.

September 20

It was a day in Juneau, and well, it rained and wasn’t as cold.

September 21

It was steady, and the boat was rocking, and it was OK temperature-wise. It wasn’t in the 90s but also in the 30s. It never got down that cold, but it wasn’t in the 60s.

There weren’t many waves, but the wind was going strong.

September 22

It was a port day in Victoria, British Columbia, and a lovely sunny day. There was no more rain. Finally, it was a good day. I enjoyed it.

September 23

I was back in Seattle,  and it was a nice day. No rain for the day. Which was shocking due to it being in the North West

Thoughts

What do you expect to go to Alaska in September? There will be rain; there is no doubt about it. If you want a sunny time, go south to the Caribbean. The weather was what I thought it was going to be. At least it wasn’t snowing.

It was great in Alaska. You need to go.
