I've never gone the one-way trips however if you're doing a land tour up to Denali for example you must go one way. Also the one-way trips visit College Fjord (not sure if all go there) and imho you can't see too many glaciers so that's another advantage.We've done both the Seattle and Vancouver round trips and thought that the scenery leaving and returning from Vancouver is much better since you stay longer in the inside passage.I agree however that Vancouver airport is a nightmare. Too many ships arrive and bus passengers to the airport at virtually the same time. It's very crowded and slow to get through all the security, customs, etc.
