In Alaska, many excursions are by small boat. Pick them carefully; go to Cruise Critic, port section for advice; and again, be the last one on the small boat right before it leaves. I wouldn't worry about the slightly forward cabin; but I hope that you have a balcony because fresh air could help. An Alaska cruise is a good choice for you because the days at sea are mostly in protected passages. Stay hydrated, and start that a few days before the cruise. Have a great time.
