just don't plan to do it on a cruise...all you will see water and tourist towns...
get out and see Alaska...fly out to Bethel, or Ketchikan...some place where you can see the native way of life...of course K'town is not as native as Bethel, and it is a different tribe all together, but the T'lingit (

if you need a tour guide let me know...
OH and if you can, get a card with Alaska airlines NOW so you can save up some air miles..it really helps as Alaska is not cheap!
