Cruise Glacier Bay Did not visit port

A smaller ship had a fire on board before we got all the way into the bay and we had to assist them. We were there over 4 hours so we could not get there and back out before the mandatory exit time.

Wonderful cruise. Captain did a fantastic job handling the sea rescue of another smaller cruise ship that caught on fire. Sapphire Princess is a great ship to cruise on
