[QUOTE="W5KAP, post: 1297395"] Welcome to the boards!! I think you will find many answers to your questions but there is really no right answer for NB or SB. It depends on what you want. Are you doing the land portion as well? If so some folks recommend the SB trips so you can do the land portion first. We decided to do the N/B out of Vancouver and then the land cruise. Either way air fair will be expensive since 1) it's considered and open jaw trip, and 2) air fare to or from AK is expensive no matter what. One other thing I would mention is if you plan on going this summer you had better decide and book fast. Most of these cruises are booked full fairly early. For example, we did ours in September of 2008. Not sure about round trips other than to tell you you will end up spending a great deal of more time on-board the ship and less time actually in AK. I does, however, making the flying portion a lot easier and cheaper. I know there are R/T's from SF, and Seattle. personally I opt for spending more time in AK. Not sure if this helps but I hope so.
