Alaska cruise questions?

We’d like to take an Alaskan cruise in July. Our travel agent recommends Princess Cruises (the Diamond Princess for our itinerary), based on many, many happy clients. I read reviews which don’t support such satisfaction during peak months (the reviews were better for May and September cruises.) We’ve done Royal Caribbean and Carnival to other destinations and all the reviews were great, as were our trips, so I’m reluctant to invest so much for a mediocre experience.

I would like to know:

1) Can anyone comment on Princess (especially Diamond) to Alaska in July? I want to know about efficiency of staff, quality of food and crowding, like no place to sit!
2) Is the weather mostly rainy?
3) Denali National Park visit - during May & Sept, passengers loved it. During July, reviews reported chaos, long waits, preference given to passengers who took additional excursions during the land trip. Any comments here?
Thank you very much.
