Lbeck there is nothing wrong with the Coral or Island Princess. They are only a few years old and are newer than the Sun Class ships. The Coral and Island Princess are a little larger than the Sun Class ships and are not as big as say the Grand or Caribbean Princess and that style ship.May and June are considered the dryest months for cruising Alaska. You must keep in mind that Ketchikan is a rain forest and there is always a chance of rain there. The first few weeks of June will still have a lot of waterfalls from snowmelt. The last few weeks of June head into the salmon run but will also get you closer to the rain season.Travel insurance is always a good idea IMHO. There are third party insurance companies for travel if you do not wish to use the cruise lines insurance. I use Travel Guard myself but I know there are many others out there.
