Is There Wildlife to Be Seen in Alaska? (+ gallery)

My wife and I recently returned from a seven-day cruise to Alaska. We boarded the Celebrity Solstice in Vancouver and travelled up the Alaska panhandle to Icy Strait Point, the Hubbard Glacier, Juneau, Ketchikan, and back down to Vancouver. Spring and autumn were recommended as the best times to visit because the scenery is more beautiful, with snow still visible on the mountain peaks. It’s also not as busy as the summer season and prices are therefore better.
