Alaska cruise - which cruise line?

[met]

I am just starting to research for an Alaska cruise next summer. Which cruise line is the best and why? I know that a balcony cabin is preferable but will any balcony do? HELP!!!! I have been on Caribbean cruises but this is so different.

Princess has this market covered like no ther cruise line sailing Alaska...I would book Princess for an Alaskan cruise as I have sailed Princess 7 times elsewhere and never disappointed!:cool: :eek: :cool:

if princess has covered the alaska market then holland america is close behind-hal has been sailing to a alaska a long time and gets first shot for bidding for the limited number of ships allowed to cruise certain areas
