GloBug having a balcony cabin is always good on an Alaskan cruise. Is it the best spot on the ship? No spot is the best spot on the ship because you never know when and where you will see things. Wildlife is one of the big things to see and that comes out where it feels like not where you want it. While in near the glaciers the ships usually turn so everyone gets to see the glaciers so at least for awhile your balcony will face the glaciers but than so will every part of the ship for awhile. While in the Inside Passage there will be islands on one side and the mainland on the other so there will be plenty to see there.As for raingear light raingear is fine you won't need heavy duty rain gear. If you plan on taking tours into the rainforests boots would be nice, or if you plan on nature walks. In town no you will not need boots.lbeck there are a lot of places to take walking tours throughout all of the ports that a cruise goes to and especially if you are doing a land portion along with the cruise. Just be aware of whats around you when you go on the walking tours or trails. You never know what animal you may find when walking. Good luck on the air that is always one that you never know when the sales are.As for finding the best deal you may always find someone that found a better deal than you the best you can hope for is finding a good agent that will search for the sales and also try to get you a price reduction if the price drops after you have booked. For myself I always deal with the same agent because I trust them and I go with the deal that I feel I can afford. If I think they are not matching others I will get other quotes and see if they will match them.
