Re Alaska, I haven't made it there yet, but I do live in Vancouver. I see the ships depart from my bedroom window, and often see them arrive back in port when I am driving over the Lions Gate Bridge to go to work in the morning - wonderful sight. We are at the tail end of the season now - it is dark and ships are fully lit up when they arrive back in port at this time of year.Statistically, we have our best weather here on the west coast in August, but given that we are in a rainforest, anything can happen. We can have stunning weather or torrential rains anytime in our May-Sept cruise season. It just isn't predictable. If price is a factor (and face it, when isn't it?), best bargains seem to be really early in the season in May, or after Labour Day when kids go back to school.
