ms Amsterdam and ms Volendam in Juneau June 23, 2017

Staff Captain Tom on the left; Captain Fred in the center; pilot on the right

Copper, I see the holes you were talking about. She doesn't appear to have the tie-down(?) brackets [i saw] on Eurodam.

Maybe Monday's sail-in.

You can hear the bow thrusters doing their thing; Staff Captain instructing SECO to open the starboard A-Deck shell door

copper10-8, now I am really getting excited. starting july 17 for a b2b till august 14. would enjoy saying hello when onboard.

Been looking for them; they must be ship-specific

Fwd and aft heaving lines (springs) ashore

Very interesting watching what is going on. Great webcam zoom!:)

What a beautiful day!

Good look at American Spirit - springs going tight - head line on the bollard

Cam operator seems to be 10-7; going for breakfast and a Starbucks Late :cool:

I guess webcam person has had enough.:(

See you all later!

Yes, we lost our zoom a bit early. I guess it's also time for lunch for me.

Love to, but I'm home; enjoy that Alaska cruise :)

See you later for Volendam - regular sail-in time.

I'll miss Volendam's sail in, but hope to check in later. :)

Thanks for all your searching.

Thanks for all your searching.

No prob; from the way you describe them, they could very well be "tie-downs"

Horse race about to start

Gangway connected per the SECO and port agent on board; ship is usually clear upon arrival

Boy; what a great day for some flight-seeing in a float plane or helo :D

Darn -- lunch interrupted my seeing the Amsterdam arriving.

Also a great day for the Mt. Roberts Tramway!

Gorgeous day there...hope I am as lucky in a few weeks! Sorry I will not get to meet Copper John :(

Good to see that they have great weather right now, about time.

Hey! HELLO Amsterdam! That's my boat! ... er ship! ... er whatever! (well, it will be in September). OK, it's my first cruise EVER -- I'm entitled to be a little excited, am I not? 14 days Seattle-Alaska-Seattle. I'll be sure to wave when we dock in Juneau on September 15 since I know that people are watching. ;p :D

Amsterdam about to lower lifeboats Nos. 2, 8, 10 & 14 for some training with 3/O Adam :) in charge of that evolution from Boat Deck/Deck 3

Meanwhile, Volendam is putting along at 17.4 knots northbound in Stephens Passage ;)

Noisemakers inbound :eek:

General Emergency Alarm being sounded for the crew drill on Amsterdam
