Sorry it's been a few days since I have updated the blog. So much has been happening here and no fast internet until we are in port and have down time. There is definitely not much of that.
So lets back up a few days....
We took the 5 hour train ride to the Grand Princess on Saturday...Pretty
scenic ride . We did not board the Grand until late so we just had
pizza and fries for dinner
Our first day (Sunday) was at Hubbard Glacier from 3-7pm....It was really foggy when we were headed there.... but cleared up when we go to the Glacier. We stood on the front bow for an hour or so coming in just to see if we could see any whales or sealife. Plenty of seals but no whales here....
This glacier was huge. We had to go through plenty of icebergs to get there but we got pretty close.
The second day we headed to Glacier Bay which was even more amazing than
Hubbard Glacier. We once again were worried it would be too foggy but
again it turned out beautiful. The scenery was great to look at.
To explain the size of these mountains if you look close at the bottom photo you will see the Coral Princess Cruise ship....
We were in Glacier Bay most of the day and just wandered outside and back and forth to our balcony to keep seeing wildlife and glaciers. We saw several whales in the distance and tons of sea otters, seals, and eagles. At the end of the day I felt like I often feel after snow shoveling all day as the temperature was in 50s most of the day.
Two great days followed by two evenings of buy one get one free at the One 5 lounge. Awesome!
