Looking to do an Alaskan cruise sometime this summer. It'll be me, my wife, and 12 yr old son going. In looking through this, there seem to be lots of options. Large cruise ships and much smaller ships. One way trips and round trip cruises. Various stops and durations. And obviously lots of different excursions.
For anyone that has done these, any recommendations on what to do? Which things are musts and which things to be avoided? Which room type is best (i.e. is it worth having a room with a view on the ship?) We can go anytime in June, July, or August....certain time better for activities (like seeing whales)?
From talking with friends, the sled dog experience was memorable as was seeing the glaciers. But with hundreds of activities to choose from, I figured I'd seek the collective wisdom.
ETA -- Would be interested in spending a couple days in Seattle if we start from there and similarly a couple days in Vancouver if we end up finishing up there.
