ms Oosterdam in Juneau July 25, 2017

Unfortunately Oosterdam will have to tender today because Silver Discoverer is occupying her usual CT dock (what's with that?:confused:). Oosterdam will be in port from 1300-2100.

Also in port are the aforementioned Silver Discoverer at the CT dock from 0700-2230, Norwegian Jewel (0700-1330) and Pearl (1400-2200) doing their trade off of the AJ dock, Millennium (0700-2130) at the AS dock, and Coral Princess (0800-2115) at the FKL dock.

Once again there is only a 10% chance of rain but it is supposed to be cloudy all day. High should be 65F/18C and the low 53F/12C. Sunrise will be at 4:33 am and sunset at 9:33 pm.

Thanks Scrapnana for the report for The Oosterdam!! Sorry she has to tender😕

But I will chime in tomorrow!

Have a good evening.

Denise:)

I wonder if we'll get the wide angle view?

Thank you for posting!

Perhaps the dreaded panning!

Thanks for the info.

Looks like it's going to be a very busy day in Juneau.

Allan

Thank you for the reminder.

We were on the Ryndam many years ago and had to tender in Juneau.

How is the condition of the ship overall? We are booked for a long cruise in Dec and want to be sure all is fine.

Nice close up of the Jewel coming in. Weather doesn't look to bad either, at least it's dry for now.

Oostie passing Gambier Bay on the south-east coast of big Admiralty Island while inside Stephens Passage. You would think that, being a regular caller at Juneau, and being much bigger than the Silver Italians, the Juneau harbor master would assign her the CT berth. Strange decision

Very bizarre decision. I'd almost think the Silver Discover could just about dock where the Sea Lion does.

Roy

Almost to the Gastineau.

Just past Thane.

How early are docks assigned? I know the schedule can change but with more ships in Alaska I would like to make sure that my itinerary in the future does not include the AJ dock or tendering. i used to think HAL got the best docks. That is not always the case this year.

Just past Thane.

I was wondering if anyone else is watching. This will be short and hopefully sweet. At least AIS is back to normal.

I'll be watching a little closer since I'll be on the Oosterdam now for 5 days instead of just one night.

I always try to be here, sometimes my afternoon nap interferes with my posting - like today. With AIS working fine, I didn't feel the need to keep the fanatics updated like yesterday. [Plus I wasn't as tired yesterday.]

ETA: Oostie in sight but moving behind Jewel(?).

I think I see it. Now passing bow of NCL.

I'm surprised to see NCL's bow facing in - she always docks the other way. She must have needed maintenance or lifeboat drills on opposite side.

I wonder if that will make this evening's NCL swap a bit more difficult.

Doesn't look like we'll get a zoom on the Oosterdam.

Roy

Doesn't look like we'll have a webcam person and Oostie is almost out of sight.

That swap should take place in a couple of hours. [1330]

And here is webcam person.
