Alaska mosquiots?
Posted: Wed May 6, 2009 10:59 AM UTC
My parents are going on an Alaskan cruise in a couple of weeks. I was told that insects are a problem, specifically mosquitos. Should they take lots of bug repellent?

Hi - I have been on an Alaskan cruise twice (different times of the season) and have never had any problems with mosquitoes or any other type of bug (and mosquitoes tend to find me wherever they are!). If your parents are concerned, they can bring one bottle of repellent. If they need more, they can find it in port.

Shouldn't be a problem while on ship. Some land tours might get into boggy spots and I'd bring along some bug repellant for those times.
