I lived in Alaska for 3 years in the military in the early 80's. One trip fishing in Alaska will ruin your fishing for the rest of your life. You'll always be looking for a trip like "Alaska". I used to fish with a friend on that Talachulitna river for trout with a fly rod. We used deer hair mice that we tied up ourselves. Amazing fishing. I loved the halibut, really fight and it was fun but the real pleasure was at the dinner table.
You probably can't go really wrong. You might consider asking the cruise line about a guide. Since they have a common reputation at stake (your happiness on the cruise) they probably have someone.
Good luck.
