We woke up about 0630 just in time to see us enter the channel from the ocean. The weather looked promising with only overcast skies and good visibility however a few miles later we were in the fog again.
We never really watched the “moving” map last week so I found it very interesting to see how many islands, bays and fjords there are in this area as we make our way in.
As we progressed up the channel we were in and out of fog.
Caro spotted three humpbacks as we watched from our balcony sharing our one set of binoculars
Our first glacier was Margerie. The fog cleared just enough for us to see the glacier. Weirdly the Grand Pacific glacier right beside it was completely fogged in.
As we turned around and headed to the Lamplugh and John Hopkins glaciers it began to become clearer as the fog and low clouds lifted up to give us spectacular views ( although not one second of sunshine)
We spent the rest of the afternoon watching for wild life with several sea otters and the colony of Stellar Sea lions seen as we made our way back out of the Glacier Bay National Park.
Supper was at the Allegro restaurant followed by 45 minutes in the Vista Lounge listening to a sister/brother violin duet. They are amazing. They play all over the ship but this is the first time we really listened to them.
We also went to the Princess Theatre for the very final production number by the Royal Princess singers and dancers. They are the first group back after Covid and have completed 6 months on board. Some of the group did not come on stage to accept a “thank you” from the cruise director as I imagine they were too upset as they will never be together as a group again.
Well another wonderful day is over.
