Alaska Cruise (Glacier Bay National Park) . 2012 . Sep 20
After leaving the
Margerie Glacier, the
Diamond Princess makes a quick stop at its neighbour, the
John Hopkins Glacier.
The
Norwegian Pearl on its way out of the
John Hopkins Glacier as the Diamond Princess makes its way in.
The inlet to the
John Hopkins Glacier.
John Hopkins Glacier comes into view. Once again, the Captain manoeuvres the ship so that passengers on both side of the ship can have a good view of the glacier. Unlike the
Margerie Glacier where the
Diamond Princess stops over for an hour, the
stop at the John Hopkins Glacier is a much shorter one.
Leaving the
John Hopkins Glacier.
Floating ice are very common in the
Glacier Bay National Park waters...

Glacier Bay.
Afternoon tea at our
balcony as we watch the scenery go by.
At 3pm, the National Park rangers bid us farewell as they leave the cruise ship.
and we continue enjoying the beautiful
Alaska landscape..
Right after leaving the
John Hopkins Glacier, the Diamond Princess starts sailing out of the protected waters of the
Glacier Bay National Park and into the open Gulf of Alaska where it picks up speed. Passengers such as myself who are prone to sea-sickness starts to feel queasy. It got so bad during the night that it felt like being rocked to sleep in bed.
After another day of great relaxing scenery viewing, we went for the
Fiesta Strings Quartet Performance in the
Explorers Lounge before
dinner.
After another fantastic
dinner, we went back to our cabin and found the following
disembarkation information pamplet at our door..another proof of
Princess Cruises' efficient planning...but it also means that our
Alaska cruise is coming to an end soon.... ;(
