As far as weather, the summer months are going to be warmer, like around July. The best thing is to go to: http://www.weather.com/weather/wxclimatology/monthly/graph/USAK0012?from=36hr_bottomnav_undeclared and then search for the areas you will be visiting. The link I gave you is the averages for Anchorage. This will give you more accurate information.
Alaska cruises are wonderful, one of my favorites.
Travel agencies, I have been using an agent with http://cruisingco.com/ for several years now. They are absolutely wonderful, one of the best companies I have dealt with. The benefit to their company is that they are large enough to offer you special discounts and things on cruises that they have groups with, but yet they still give you a personal touch. My agent always gets back to me in minutes of e-mailing her, I swear sometimes it is like I am her only client. I think they are wonderful.
I hope this helps!
