BrnBrok Posted May 17, 2015 #1 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I just took a quick glance at a July 25 Itinerary on the Grand Princess. Earlier it showed Hubbard Glacier, but now it shows Yakutat Bay. The map makes it look Yaktutat Bay is further away from Hubbard Glacier. Does anyone know why Princess changed the location name and if we will still cruise close to Hubbard? I do realize that the Glacier is enormous so maybe we don't really lose seeing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judynorth Posted May 17, 2015 #2 Share Posted May 17, 2015 You will be cruising Yakutat Bay to Hubbard Glacier. The glacier is huge and you can see it for miles and miles on the way into the bay. We have been there 3 times and got very close to the glacier each time. It dwarfs the cruise ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budget Queen Posted May 17, 2015 #4 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I haven't had good luck the past few years getting "close" to Hubbard, including on Princess. I'm on the Grand Princess as well, next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italy52 Posted May 20, 2015 #7 Share Posted May 20, 2015 We were on the Millennium last June doing a B2B cruise --- both times we got very close to Hubbard --- we were very happy cruisers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare geoherb Posted May 20, 2015 #10 Share Posted May 20, 2015 We went in early August in 2012. Hubbard Glacier was nice, but not as good as Margerie Glacier in Glacier Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
