The web sites of:
Holland America
Princess
Carnival
Royal Caribbean
and cruisecritic.com
I took Holland America. An aquaintance and his wife are currently on a Carnival.
A cruise to Alaska is a magical experience of a lifetime.

They normally run May through September. You need to book early in order to get the best price and best selection on room. Best to book a year in advance.

There are many excellent deals on last minute cancellations. You can save big $$ by being on their cancellation list. Otherwise as above said, book a year in advance before the next season price increase.

I went on holland american line like two weeks ago. I was on the oosterdam ship. Seemed like mostly old people on the ship though lol. I'd go on a ship more family oriented like disney cruise or something like that.

I just got back from a Northbound cruise on Carnival Spirit from Vancouver to Whittier with stops at Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway & Sitka. I had a great time with the exception of the dining room food being inedible. Our cruise was made up of a mix of age groups, but primarily seniors.

Don't take a cruise, that is just a small part of Alaska. Fly up and base a few weeks out of Anchorage or Fairbanks and rent a RV or a car and drive around the whole road system. Ask Barkingowl, the drives are worth the money!
