I've personally always been a fan of traveling through Alaska using the AMHS. I know its not the best option for everyone, but I would recommend anyone considering a cruise to Alaska to at least give it a thought.

Welcome to cruising! And yes, Alaskan's cruise, inside passage is the way to go.

www.cruise-addicts.com
www.cruisecritic.com/
www.cruisebuggie.com
www.cruisediva.com

Read through the forums and fun. Start a facebook page to keep your family and friends updated on the trip and share the planning. Find a good cruise agent off any one of the sites above. By going through an agent, with that many people, they should get you some fantastic deals, block of rooms, onboard credits and all sorts of things.

Alaska trips are a little different than say western caribbean (my favorite spot)

There are Off mosquito towellettes you can buy ahead of time at amazon, Amazon.com: Off! Deep Woods Insect Repellent Wipes, 20 Towelettes: Health & Personal Care Better than spray and easy to carry a refill.

Wear your clothes in LAYERS. Undershirt, shirt, hoodie type jcket, bring gloves, you can wear nylons under your pants as an extra layer, or above the knee socks www.sockdreams.com or www.joyofsocks.com

Ladies should forget heels. If you have never been on a cruise the boat is moving, and it is hard enough to get your sea legs, let alone do it in heels. Make sure you take a pair of flats, or ballet type shoes with you and a good pair of walking shoes for shore excursions.

Inside Passage Cruise Vacation : Cruise Alaska : : Princess Cruises
Is the princess site for the inside passage cruise.

Hope this helps, email me if you need any other info, but your best bet is to get on cruise-addicts or cruise critics and poke around. Lots of lists for newbies and downright nice peeps.
