I didn't cruise to Alaska, we flew into Anchorage and stayed there but we did a day trip out to Seward. It was amazing and we talk about going back again.

Re: Alaska/Hawaiian Cruise
For those that did the Alaska cruise, with the two listed, what would you recommend? Does one have a better port of call than the other?

I've never done the cruise.
But my daughter lives in Fairbanks and I've been there quite a few times.
And honestly, there isn't much to do.
Anchorage is a much bigger city and would have more to see/do. So I would look into that before booking.
Alaska is absolutely beautiful. One of these days I will do the cruise 
If you get a chance to see it. You should absolutely go.
ETA: When will you be going?

If the ships are similar I would go with the first itinerary for The inside passage.

Almost all of the ports are teeny tiny little towns, with not a lot going on. It's the excursions that (for me anyway) were the most memorable and amazing. (I would highly recommend the helicopter ride to a glacier and then dog sledding on the glacier - such an unforgettable experience!). As the pp mentioned, I would pick the 1st itinerary for the inside passage, since I would think most excursions (or very similar ones) would be available from either ship
