Hubbard Glacier viewing on southbound one way--how long at the glacier

[world_traveler_et]

I have sailed the southbound one way two other times on the Coral and the Star.  In the past I had second seating for dinner that was around 7PM and never had problems viewing the glacier and getting dressed for the formal night.  I do not recall how long we the ship actually spent at the glacier.  I was wondering if the main glacier viewing was done by 5PM?  I am trying to book an earlier dinner but still be able to see the captain's welcome aboard and the champagne waterfall in the Piazza.  I am sailing with someone who has never sailed with Princess. 

 

Thanks in advance for your responses.

You should see everything there is to see by 5pm.
