OK, so I know I'm getting ahead of myself as I haven't even taken my first cruise yet, but I've become 'hooked' and know I'm going to want to go again.

In 2006 I want to see Alaska and was wondering who'd recommend what. I want to do the Inside Passage and see Glacier Bay but from things I've read on this site, it seems Radisson doesn't go in there. What other line would you recommend that does? Is there a cruise/tour combination? I can get brochures from here, but would love first hand information. There is no way I could get my husband into anything more formal than a jacket and tie (promise to make him wear trousers too). He is not keen on coach tours but would do a short one, perhaps in combination with a train. We've been to Vancouver and the Rockies and just loved it but want to do the 'Gold Leaf' train trip and the rest by car. Heaven help the Canadians with us on the wrong side of the road!

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Take your time, I've got plenty of it!
