With the economy being what it is, there should be some dynamite cruise deals available this summer. Also, the Alaska Marine Highway is a great way to see Southeast Alaska.
And don't discount May or September in Alaska. Those are two of my favorite months here; the weather is good (although not nearly as warm as June/July/August), and the crowds are far below the summer highs. You can count on big crowds and high prices basically Memorial Day to Labor Day.
And consider using airline miles and hotel points whenver possible. Even if hotel points will only get you one night, that's money back into your pocket.

How do you think we paid for the new ANC rental car garage...
