Northern lights are fun to see. They are not out every night; and you can not always personal see them, even if they are.
Recalling back to an Alaska cruise with the 50Plus group of Thomas Rd Baptist Church ... Several of us were standing on the back deck of a Princess ship. We noticed, several further back, were looking into the sky and pointing. Where the others of us were, we saw nothing, that they were looking at. We walked back to the ship, to learn what the others were seeing. There it was ... Northern Lights. We proved, that we can all be looking up in the sky at the same time, however, it's often "where you are standing" !
Another time, I was on Cruise West (no longer in business) and the captain woke us up, in the middle of the night, to come out and view the Northern Lights (rooms signed up to be contacted). It again, was great !
Though the Northern Lights are often seen while in Alaska, it is not a "given"; you are still very fortunate to see them ! It's about being in the right place, at the right time !
