I would recommend one of the Statendamsisters of Holland America Line. I don'tlike mega-ships so I avoid Princess for themost part.....and most of Celebrity. Oneof the Crystal Cruises ships would be nice,but you are paying a very big price fornot very much more than some of the otherlines.....I noticed lots of cut-backs thelast time I was on Crystal.
Hope this helps a little.
Be absolutely sure Glacier Bay is on youritinerary.....I feel this is a must see.

We choose a longer itinerary which was LA to Vacouver, via Alaska. Check out the prices, it did not cost much more than the shorter version.
I must admit that I found the main ports of Alaska to be much more commercialised than I expected, with lots of T-Shirt shops. However, all the cruise lines offer lots of excursions to take you into the wilderness - at that's what Alaska is all about!

CruiseBuff and cruznut6. Our cruise was 6/4/99, when did you sail?
We sailed with this Captain before on Celebrity's Zenith to the Panama Canal, and when we encountered what he thought was some magnificent scenery in Glacier Bay with icebergs calving, he lowered one of the ship's launches and had the ship's photographer take a number of spectacular photographs which we prize as souvenirs. Another nice touch: he somehow remembered us from the New York to Acapulco cruise and sent a note to our cabin apologizing again for not having been able to call at Cape Canavaral or Hualtuco because of high winds. He then invited us to sit at his table for dinner one night, and afterwards we received a beautiful 8 x 10 photo of the table.
Even the inside cabins are reasonably spacious - if you are on a budget.
We sailed on the Galaxy 6/25/99. This was our first Alaska cruise and 4th with Celebrity. Can't wait to sail the Millennium or Infinity next year! Happy Cruising :-)

We were on the same sailing! Wasn't that a spectacular cruise? I look at our photos and still can't believe we've "been there, done that." We're leaving a week from Friday, 6/2, for the Eastern Caribbean on the Century (our second sailing on that ship -- and every bit as wonderful as the Galaxy).
