Prince William Sound Glacier Cruise - 2010

We had a Prince William Sound Glacier cruise scheduled with Prince William Sound Glacier Cruises and found out they would have picked us up and stored our luggage for us. Carol & Dave had secured a nice table and were waiting for us when we finally boarded after finally checking our luggage.

The weather was misty and rainy for the start of the PWS cruise, but eventually cleared and we got some great views of glaciers. We saw lots of sea otters, 3 eagles, a black bear by a stream on the mountain, many harbor seals and some huge jellyfish. Saw and heard our first glacier calving. AMAZING! Beautiful waterfalls and scenery. Would have loved the 6 hour tour here, but only did the 4 hour. (2 for 1 coupon) Being that close to the glaciers was really a treat. The tour included a crab cake lunch and fresh baked chocolate chip cookies. All was very good.

We finally got on board the ship and found our cabin with luggage waiting. We got unpacked and met our friends for dinner, which was open seating that first night. We skipped the show that evening and just chilled out. Early to bed for a full night of sleep. The first full night since we started this vacation.

Tomorrow, we view Hubbard Glacier.
