Wow what a difference now compared to when I was in Glacier Bay in 1982 on the Island Princess. Even your excursion boat didn't get close. We sailed right up to the glaciers , both John Hopkins and Margerie/Grand Pacific glaciers (back then they were merged together) we even sailed up Muir Inlet and got pretty close to Muir Glacier. Time's have sure changed!! If you like to get a feel for what it was like back then, you could watch the Alaska episodes of the Love Boat which was filmed on the same ship.
