Our day at sea was spent very simply. We read a lot, and we looked at Hubbard Glacier, which looked pretty much just like it did the last time I saw it. It was nice to have a balcony this time though; I was able to enjoy it from my own room rather than out on deck with a million other people. I don’t think we got as close as I did back in September 2005, though - I heard something about there being baby seals around so we couldn’t get any closer than a certain point. In addition to the weather, greater snowmelt, and better sales (end of season), that’s another reason to go in September if we go again. I think also, if we go again, I won’t do any shore excursions in some places because I still haven’t fully explored them myself. (The White Pass railway is still a must-do, though.)
