Should I bring a bathing suit on an Alaskan cruise?

Yes, we suggest bringing a swimsuit on our cruise. Remember that much of your time is actually going to be spent on the cruise ship. While there are pools, there are also hot tubs. So bring your swimsuit and you can take a dip in the hot tub or even lay out if the weather is warmer and sunny.
