ms Nieuw Amsterdam & ms Eurodam in Juneau, May 8, 2017

Week 2 of the Juneau season will welcome five HAL ships over a three day period.

For Monday, we have the usuals - Nieuw Amsterdam at the CT dock (1300-2200) and Eurodam at the AS dock (the schedule is still showing her there so hopefully they have finished the work) (1300-2200).

Also in port are the Norwegian Jewel at the AJD (0700-1330) and the Ruby Princess at the FKL dock (1100-2215).

Weather forecast calls for a high of 47F/8C and a low of 42/5C with a 70% chance of rain. Sunrise is 4:45 am and sunset is 9:01 pm.

The PTZtv webcam can be found at http://www.juneauharborwebcam.com/

Remember the ships (at least the HAL ones) usually show up on the webcam about an hour before the above mentioned times.

Thank you for the reminder!

Thanks, hope to be there if all my chores are done.

Thank you for the reminder.

Time conversations mean they arrive as I am usually starting preps for dinner.

They appeared to be working on the dock last Wednesday and with no ships at all on Thurs - Sun, you'd think they could get it done. No way to complain about all the extra people in town muddling up traffic/causing supplies delays, etc.

Thank you for the information

Denise:)

Maybe Juneau will get the rain out of it system before the DAM ships arrive - not likely.

It certainly is a grey day right now!

Enjoy the sail-in. I will miss it (picking up friends returning from a river cruise) but will be here for the sail-away.

I have mentioned before that I think HAL is repositioning their ships away from Florida too early. Here we see Juneau on the second week with rain and temps in the 40's...not pleasant for shore side activities. The same with those leaving for Europe. This year Rotterdam, Westerdam, and Koningsdam all left within 3 days at the end of March only to arrive to cool and cloudy weather as well.

I bet it's pretty crowded at the dock and in the Red Dog Saloon!

Eurodam at Thane - now if we can see her between the raindrops and around the other ships.

She's coming into view - Eurodam between tall pole and Norw Jewel.

Appearing from behind the Jewel.

Nice close-up since in the harbor and a nice shake of the camera to clear the biggest raindrops.

Definitely going to the new rebuilt dock - Yaa!

Yay! The new dock is inaugurated!

I'm on Eurodam right now. Waving my bed pillow deck 5 mid ship balcony above lifeboats. Had a great ride up. Smooth til about 5pm last night. But even that wasn't bad. A lot better than last weeks weather.

It's a light drizzle right now. We're at the new dock according to captain Scott. What a great man he is. So friendly

Great to hear from you Deb! Glad things are going smoothly.

Wow ....you can hear the ships announcements!

Eurodam also blocking view about all of docking area except for AJ dock.

NA should be showing soon, already past Thane, but the viewing area has been shorten by Eurodam - she'll be seen the best once she passes Jewel.

Jewel should be leaving soon after NA docks.

Camera shake, please :D

You can see the people filing off the Eurodam.

Jewel leaving already.

ETA: And here comes NA around in front of her.
