ms Eurodam and ms Nieuw Amsterdam in Juneau May 28, 2018

Memorial Day (Monday) marks the start of the 5 day-a-week presence of HAL in Juneau which will continue through the second week in September. Following their usual schedule, both ships are scheduled to be in port from 1300-2200 with Nieuw Amsterdam at the CT dock and Eurodam at the AS dock.

Not the nicest day forecast (although later in the week is looking better) with a high of 51F/10C and a low of 41F/5C. There is a 90% chance of rain with a quarter of an inch expected. Sunrise is at 4:07 am and sunset at 9:45 pm.

Also in port are Ruby Princess at the FKL dock (1100-2200) and Solstice at the AJ dock (1330-2200).

Next up: Amsterdam's first visit of the season on Tuesday.

I was a week early in predicting that we had settled into our Juneau schedule - but only a week early.

I plan to be hear tomorrow, may the weather improve for the pax.

Thank you for the reminder.

Hope to be here as it will be too hot to be outside -- 91.

I hope Alberto stays far from you.

Hope to be there, I've missed the last weeks sail in, not having much luck.

I hope Alberto stays far from you.

We are getting some rain - in bands - but he is far off-shore heading NNW. No winds - just the shower bands. We'll see what tomorrow brings. Still will not be bad, Just above minimal tropical storm and too spread out over land to strengthen. A very wide storm.

Latest update has Alberto strengthening somewhat - just to make a liar out of me - but still too far away except for rain effect.

Can't tell where the sisters are because marine traffic is showing their positions from 2.5 hours ago. I'm guessing they are near the southern tip of Admiralty Island.

Is that SXM Island webcam on PTZtv new? It doesn't look like a view I have seen before and I don't remember there being three St. Maarten webcams.

The number of webcams, both from ptztv and otherwise, is growing rather fast.

I've never seen it before, of course any time HAL ships are not visiting - neither am I. ;D

They appear to still be playing with it.

Except for yesterday around noon we have avoided the rain from Alberto, looks like we might get a thin one later this afternoon - or not!

ETA: rain started about 10 minutes ago - we'll see how long it lasts.

We had a huge thunderstorm last night and my living room ceiling started leaking. I have put it off for the last few years but it is time for a new roof. Ugh!

Sorry about your roof, Kathi. What a bore to have to get a new one. - But vital, I guess!

We are back. A very nice cruise on Prinsendam, and then a week in England, visiting family. Now I have one week to get ready for a big kitchen reno. Ugh... Hopefully, there will be no rain and we will just barbecue every day.

Juneau looks dreadful.

PS. Amsterdam was here yesterday.

We have a man missing from a flood less than 10 miles from my house.

You must live near Ellicott City. I saw that on the news last night and wondered if it was close to you.

I watched the "Hometown Realty/Realtors" get blown off last night on the webcam.

Welcome home. Glad you had a good time. I am looking forward to my first cruise on Prinsendam.

At least a new roof is less expensive than a kitchen reno - that makes me feel better!;)

Eurodam finally showing on marine traffic - about halfway up the Glass Peninsula. I think I see Ruby just arriving in Juneau.

That's twice for that river flooding the town in the last two years. Hope this isn't a new trend. It's no way to live your life.

Doesn't look like a nice day today, rain & cold

Remember last year when NA was always leading - until she stopped to let pax off for a tour? Are they not having the tours, too early in the season? I wonder.

Looks like normal Juneau to me. This is the 3rd season and it hasn't changed.

I wonder if some Marine traffic reporting stations are down. St. Phillip is reported to be pretty close to the rendezvous point although Nieuw Amsterdam's position is way behind in reporting. I expect that it will happen today.

I'm planning to book that tour from the Volendam.

Roy

Kathi, I hope you find a top notch roofing contractor and the leaks don't do too much interior damage.
