Which Cruise Line/Ship for 1st Timers?

Hello,
My family is planning an Alaskan cruise in the June/July timeframe. I think I have narrowed it down to Princess/Diamond Princess, NCL/Sun, or Celebrity/Infinity. We have two children, ages 13 and 11. This is our first time to go on a cruise and I'm feeling overwhelmed with all of the decisions. Any advice on any of the ships would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Of those three choices, Princess is probably best for kids.

Carnival or RCL would be better for them, though.

Cheers!

I assume all are round trip but you have a Vancouver sailing?? too? The kids will be fine on any line. I don't like the routing of the diamond- too much outside passage sailng for my tastes. If any include Glacier Bay- that would be my selection. But consider several factors- price, route, time in ports and glacier.
