Anyone from Alaska?

[Mike 1017]

My wife and want to go on an Alaskan Cruise. Mt. Spur has been showing signs of erupting. Should I be concerned about this?

no, unless your cruise ship goes on land. the ship might keep you inside if theres lots of ash/dust but they would sail away from that pretty fast. if you have to fly to get to the ship, that might be an issue as jet engines wont work well in ash

They will keep you safe but if there is something you want to see you may miss the beauty of an Alaskan Cruise because of it.

but you might also get to see a volcano erupt! and it wont affect the whole coast, at worst you miss a couple of fjords and at best you see a volcano erupt from somewhere safe

Thanks Guys. It looks we will be cruising Alaska

Mt Saint Helen’s blew ash across all of Montana butt pilots flew around the one in Iceland for a year.  I wouldn’t let it spoil my plans..

As stated, ash would definitely affect flights more than ships. But I would go. Alaska is incredibly beautiful. I was stationed there for 3 years and did have one flight home delayed a day by ash.
