Our first full day on board the ship was spent "cruising," and also included a drive-by of Hubbard Glacier. My little cousins were next door, and we both had balcony rooms. I spent a couple of hours that day trying not to get a headache, and I awoke to tiny, excited voices... "Oh, look - it's a big piece!" "Ooh, ooh, another big piece!" "Look! Look! A big piece!!" There were, indeed, some big pieces of ice floating with us in the water!
Imitating daddy...
...and imitating big brother. She must have wondered what the heck was so interesting, considering that she was looking through the wrong end! =)

As amazing as the picture is, it doesn't really do the real thing justice. That's basically the story of this entire trip! But the glacier really was that blue... 
Hubbard Glacier calving...
And here's the best video we got of the glacier calving:This shows just how large the glacier is. Yes, it dwarfs another cruise ship that approached as we left the glacier. We apparently got very close to the glacier - about 1/4 mile away.
Just a couple of pictures at sea... though I guess we weren't technically at "sea"... we were crusing the Inside Passage.
