Point to point cruises make airfare tricky (and more expensive). Make sure you are flying into Anchorage instead of Seward (you can get to Seward easily by train/bus/car - no need to spend money on flights - its not that far). You can always also price flying home from Seattle instead of Vancouver (although prices out of Vancouver were very cheap for this summer for some reason).
Note that RCCL also does round trip from Vancouver - would make airfare easier.
I think we will probably book it and then decide later. Thinking I might have enough air miles by then to make that part less expensive.
I would really like to spend some time in Alaska pre-cruise, which is why I like that cheap porthole pricing. Would be nice to have money leftover for some "land" time.
Still want to see
DCL prices and itinaries.
