Alaskan Cruise [View All]

I can't believe it -- I've talked Mr. Longhorn into going on a cruise in August even though we're going to Germany in July. I think this is the result of my "I-don't-remember-agreeing-that-I-would-live-in-the-same-place-the-rest-of-my-life" pout the other night -- the compromise being that if I'm stuck here, we're at least going to travel more. :)

So I've been told we should do the inside passage but other than that, I don't know where to begin to pick a cruise and get the best price. For example, is all that extra money for a balcony -- or even an unobstructed view -- worth it? We had an obstructed view on our Caribbean cruise last November but since there's not that much of a view anyway, it didn't matter. I do like knowing when it's day and night, though. One excursion I think we'd like to do is the train through the Canadian Rockies. One I read about included riding mountain bikes back down the mountain.

Anyone go on one of these cruise and have some recommendations? Thanks! :hi:
