OK fodorites..a suggestion please for a cruise line leaving San Francisco, Seattle or Vancouver that covers Alaska. This is for a young couple(30) first marriage honeymoon. I had suggested Holland America but apparently it is booked for their honeymoon period(mid July).

We just booked cruise on Princess Lines..a family member took the same last year and was very impressed. They offer a 7-night either from Vancouver to Anchorage, or southbound same. Staterooms have private balconies to enjoy the view. You can book land tours through them also to see Denali, etc.

You should post your question on the cruise column.

I'm not familiar with what leaves from San Francisco or not but my brother who has cruised extensively (at the young age of 34) says that Radisson is the best of all cruiselines in his opinion. From what I understand there are good rates right now and they do include complimentary wine, bar set up in your cabin and NO tipping....you might go to the Fodors cruise board or Radisson website (rssc.com) and look into it.

Princess goes RT from SF to Alaska.
