Is may 2nd too early to see hubbard?

There is a sapphire princess cruise a great price but it goes to hubbard may 2nd and then glacier bay may 6th. I’m wondering if we will be too far away to see hubbard that well. On the other hand, last time i went to glacier bay was in september and i wonder if it will look different with its snowy peaks in may.

Maybe to Hubbard.  There is definitely more ice earlier in the year, but wind, tides, recent weather, and the captain's aversion to getting close to ice all play a factor. Yes to GLBA.  They have had a lot of snow this year, so the snow should still be well down the mountain sides.

I saw a picture of someone who went to Glacier Bay at the end of April and it was an amazing picture (so much snow). It looked so different than when I have gone mid to end of May.

 

Hubbard is always a flip of a coin but I think you will see Alaska in an amazing time with a lot of snow on the mountains!
