This morning was another leisurely day as we sailed through Glacier Bay National Park.  After breakfast we decided to go out on the bow of the ship to see what was going on.  We hadn't arrived at the glaciers yet but there was some very pretty scenery.  They were serving Pea Soup which is always a favorite.  The Park Ranger was giving her talk in the showroom but we didn't go in to listen to it because we wanted to be outdoors.  They did have some narration going on outdoors as well.

For lunch we decided to go to the Lido and grab a quick bite.  It wasn't too crowded and we were able to find a table.  After lunch we had arrived to the glaciers so we went back to the bow of the ship to watch and take pictures.  We had beautiful weather for it.  It was rather chilly so we did have to wear our heavy coats.  After staying out on deck for a while Krista and I decided to go back to our room because our balcony was facing the glacier.  As soon as we got back the ship started turning so it was no longer on our side.  We went back inside and Lauren called and told us to look out on their balcony (they are 3 rooms down from us).   There were some birds sitting on the rail making lots of noise.  It seems Chase is a trouble maker and walked out on their balcony with a cookie in his hand and they saw it and flew in.  Lauren made him go back in the cabin but the birds still stayed there for a while. 

It was time for the cupcake tea at 3:00 pm so we all went and had several cupcakes.  My favorite was red velvet with chocolate icing.

Dinner was in the Pinnacle Grill compliments of Pammy.  It was good but way too much food.  None of us could eat everything but of course we still had room for dessert.

They had karaoke and Chase and Lauren were brave and got up and sang.  Then Chase was getting started good and got up and sang by himself.  I guess they didn't like them because they weren't invited to be in the Superstars competition.  I thought they were a lot better than some of the ones that were invited.  They held karaoke up in the Crow's Nest which in my opinion wasn't a very good place.  People were loud and talking and it was hard to hear what was going on.  After Karaoke we called it a night.  Since we were sailing along the coastline we were able to get sporadic AT&T phone service but it never lasted very long.
