We woke up EARLY to be sure to see all of it from our balcony stateroom but we really didn't need to get up so early since it really didn't get interesting until we were up the channel a ways. Started off by seeing a few waterfalls and tiny icebergs. As we went further in they both increased in size and quantity, though none of the icebergs were titanic in size. Some were very beautiful, though. The tops of the mountain peaks were shrouded in clouds but we saw hints of hanging glaciers along the way and their subsequent waterfalls.
Looking forward we were suddenly aware of a massive glacier ahead of us which obviously was the producer of the little icebergs. It was a-maz-ing! We cruised for some time until we were within 1 nautical mile. The captain then proceeded to slowly (.4 knots/hour) turn the ship 540 degrees so that everyone onboard was able to see it face on. By the time it reached us it was almost time to return to the conference room for day 2 of sewing so we didn't stick around for the return trip out of Endicott Arm.
I took a gazillions pictures so will have to weed them out and post a few more when I get home and can better choose.
Oh, quilting today! Our project today, a fairly challenging one, is called Ice Castles...very appropriate, and it will be gorgeous when completed...
I haven't commented much about the food...plenty of it and delicious! Will need to go on a bread and water diet when I get home. Have had prime rib one night and tonight was lobster tail. Last night was a parade of the wait staff during dinner and tonight was the chef staff. Best I could count there are 25-30 chefs. The seafood chef prepared 3,400 lobster tails tonight...
