I highly recommend opting for a ship that goes to Glacier bay. It's awsome. And if you can swing it find one that goes to College Fjord's as well. This will eliminate some lines such as Celebrity and could help narrow your search for a line and specific ship.

LInes such as HAL have a reputation for having very old passengers. This is not so much the case in Alaska. You'll find cruisers in your age brackett very easily. You'll also probably have many kids on your cruise when school's out.

If you like lying around the pools you might opt for a ship with a covered pool. You will get some rain on the trip and some chilly days regardless of what part of the summer you cruise.

IMHO a balcony is also a must for Alaska. You want to soak in as much scenery as possible. Of course you'll want to wander the decks as well, especially fore and aft to get the full sweeping views.

There are plenty of non party animal type of activities on the ships, including my favorite......sitting on the balcony with my feet up and watching the coast float by. :^)
