Hubbard Glacier Day

We celebrated out 40th wedding anniversary today on the Crown Princess with a day at sea and glacier viewing of the Hubbard Glacier.  For the most part it was a quiet, relaxing day, with a British "pub lunch", bridge play, and an anniversary dinner at the specialty restaurant, Sabetini's. 
Besides our celebrations, the highlight was seeing Hubbard Glacier.  The ship was maneuvered to less than 2 miles from this 350' high, 7 1/2 mile wide glacier.   Hopefully these pictures convey the size of this glacier. 















Tomorrow is Glacier Bay which we will watch calve from 1pm - 2 pm Alaska Standard time (4 hours behind Eastern Time)
