If you are willing to take ANY cabin and can plan at the last minute (90 days out), you MAY get your best prices from either the cruiseline or someplace like VacationsToGo.com. VTG has a 90 day ticker-cruiselines dump their unsold cabins AFTER final payment (usually 90 days pre cruise).
However, Alaska is a VERY popular destination, with pretty darn expensive airfare. So your cheap cruise may just cost you twice as much due to high airfare, unless you luck out and get a last minute award ticket.
The easiest, least stressful way is to book an Alaska cruise as early as possible. That may not be the very cheapest price, but overall, between air and cruise, it will probably be the cheapest.
