JoAnn, Mona and I took an Alaska cruise about six years ago at the same time of year, the first week in September. It was 70 when we began the trip in Anchorage. But then it got a lot colder. During the glacier cruising it was so cold on deck you could only stay out for a few minutes before your face would freeze.

Temperatures in the towns were in the 50's. It also rains about 50% of the time. However, it's hit or miss. Some people have sailed in September and have had great weather. But I think you certainly have to be prepared for cool weather. Tom.
