Planning an Alaskan Cruise, what is a good itinerary to take? Cruise ship that offers the best food?

I prefer Princess cruises, especially for their food. For a total treat, they have what is called the chefs table. It costs $75 extra per person, but let me tell you it is the Second best dinning experience I have EVER had in my life(#1 is eating at the French Laundry). The only difference between North bound and South bound is sometimes South bound is a smoother ride, but either one is fine. My suggestion is to book a cruise that goes to Glacier Bay. That is the best of the best. I have booked my third Alaskan cruise and have gone to Glacier Bay one time and Tracy Arms Fjord the other time. Next year it will be back to Glacier bay. If you can afford it, the very best is to take a cruise/tour. That way you will pretty much guarantee seeing plenty of wild life, especially if you go to Denali for part of your land tour. Again Princess does this the best because they own lodges in several places in the Alaskan wilderness and all of them are spectacular. BTW, Alaska cruising is my favorite cruise. Oh, the chefs table is something you sign up for the minute you get on board the ship and is extremely popular.
