This may sound like a weird question but - We are taking the Mariner from Vancouver to Seward in mid July. Is it ever warm enough to use the pool / hot tub / deck? Are the pool and hot tubs even open?
Thanks,
Colleen

I've taken 2 cruises to Alaska (alas, neither of them on RSSC). One cruise (in mid July) was very warm - we actually did use the pool and hot tubs outside. On another (in mid June), it was mostly rainy - we used the covered pool and hot tubs but couldn't go outside in our bathing suits. :cool:
Can't tell you though whether RSSC keeps the pool/hot tubs open though in Alaska.

Colleen,
That is a really good question! We are taking the Mariner from Seward to Vancouver in mid June. I am hoping they have the hot tubs open for sure. It would be great to be out there in the late evening. (Don't mention it to anyone else, though!!) hee hee
What excursions are you taking in Alaska?

Hi!
In 2000 we took the Navigator from Seward to Vancouver in early July. One day( I believe it was in Ketchikan) it was in the low 70's and we decided to use the pool. To our surprise it was a heated pool so it was great! My friend and I were the only ones in the pool! I don't know if the Mariner pool is also heated but I would bring the bathing suit just in case!

We took the same cruise from Vancouver to Seward last summer on the Mariner, actually it was the end of June into the beginning of July, the weather was so incredible! As we were leaving Vancouver and enjoying our drinks at the deck party we saw so many of the crew out taking pictures. We were curious why, if they were making this trip all summer that they were out in force as we were leaving on this one. We were told that it was the first sailing of the season that the weather had been good enough to actually enjoy the view as we left Vancouver. The pool was used the whole trip and the hot tubs were rarely empty! Take your bathing suit and enjoy! Barbara

It will be fine. The weather will be from mid 60s to mid 80s that time of year.
We've done two Alaska cruises, both in late May, and the weather was fabulous. Believe it or not, it can be better then than in July/August.
The first time we were in Ketchikan, rain capital of the world, and there was a sign on a store window, " 11 days in a row with no rain!"
Have fun.
