It is also the only cruise you will see the breathtaking wildlife that is in Alaska.

Our three-person group made the trip the last week of August and got lucky with the weather. We encountered just one day of rain in Ketchikan, Alaska, which averages only 100 sunny days per year, so the drizzle didn't come as a surprise.

The sun broke through the clouds, which all but disappeared, for cruising through Tracy Arm Fjord and during visits to Juneau and Skagway, which have fairly similar weather patterns. One week earlier or later and we would have been soaked by a chilly rain.

Turns out, September is Juneau's second rainiest month (behind October). During cruise season, June is the least rainy month, followed by May, July and August.

Of course, June through mid-August is the height of the Alaska travel season and the most expensive time to cruise, acknowledged Tracy Edwards, manager of travel sales for AAA East Central.

"If you're talking about pricing and you want to get the best price possible, it's best if you sail early in the season in May or late in September," he said. "Later in the season, you tend to get better prices. June, July and early to mid-August are the peak season, and that's when the prices tend to go up."

When to book
Although cruise lines consider January through March their "wave season" for coming cruise sales -- people usually don't start thinking about next year's vacation until after Jan. 1 -- Mr. Edwards urged would-be Alaska cruisers to book now.

"The best time to book is usually in October and November before the season starts, so you can get what you want as far as availability is concerned," he said. "Balcony staterooms are the most popular type of accommodation for their views. When you book this far in advance, you have more opportunity to get the location of your choice and lock in your price as well."

Some cruisers swear by balcony staterooms, but we opted to economize by booking an interior. We simply planned to be on deck for most of the sightseeing so we'd be able to scurry from one side of the ship to the other with ease.

The cool morning we cruised through Tracy Arm -- take gloves and a hat, even at the height of summer -- was the only time I wished we'd had a balcony room, and really just to get a sense of where we were. I probably still would have run up on deck to behold the majesty of massive stone mountains rising out of the sea. But for cruise passengers with mobility issues, a balcony is ideal.
