ms Westerdam & ms Nieuw Amsterdam in Juneau, AK - June 6, 2016

[Copper10-8]

Both Westerdam and Nieuw Amsterdam are scheduled to be making their weekly appearance in Alaska's state capital tomorrow, Monday, June 6, 2016.

 

Both ships are scheduled for a 1300 hrs. / 1:00 pm arrival with WEDM assigned the Cruise Terminal (CT) dock with a scheduled 10:00 pm departure, while NADM, on a weekly swap with Celebrity Solstice, will be tendering to the Juneau lightering float (AMP - Anchored Marine Park). NADM is also scheduled to depart at 10:00 pm

 

The action can be seen, and usually heard, at

Also in port will be Crown Princess (1100-2230) going the Franklin Street (FKL) dock as well as the aforementioned Celebrity Solstice (1330-2200) at the Alaska Juneau (AJ) dock

Rich, Raining steady here, no wind. Free lawn watering!:)

I'll try to be watching Westerdam arrive from St. Maarten, although I have to be at dinner at 5:30.

 

Best wishes to the people in Colin's path.

Lovely morning in Juneau with water smooth as glass and log hanging fog or clouds

We are on the Ms Westerdam and will be looking forward to seeing Ms Nieuw Amsterdam. Had a wonderful dinner in the Pinnacle Grill last night. Alaska is so awe inspiring.

Nice to hear from you! And good to know you had a great dinner at the Pinnacle.

 

Hope you have been enjoying the whole cruise and will continue to!

 

If you go near the tender dock, you better wave!

[qsuzi]

Thanks SilvertoGold. Not sure if we are docking or tendering (hope tendering because so scenic). Will wave for sure if tendering. :)

I'll miss the sail-in but will be here for the sail-away. Thanks, Copper!

Hope to be here. There has been some activity in the bay (fish?) water moving around strangely, etc., I couldn't tell what it was. A small boat approached, and everything stopped. But I didn't see birds flying away or anything. Now it's calm, but I'm hoping whatever it was will appear in another spot.

 

We're having glorious weather here - a real heatwave. Must have got up to 80 yesterday. Very unusual for Victoria this early in the summer.

BIG Princess ship arriving!

Westerdam arriving.

Looks like Nieuw Amsterdam right behind her:)

[qsuzi]

Just passing the Crown Princess. Docking soon. Meant Sitka re docking vs tendering but just read will be docking not using tenders.

I'm sure it's deceptive but that seaplane landing looked awfully close to the Nieuw Amsterdam.

Thank you to whomever is handling the camera, as we watch both Westerdam and Nieuw Amsterdam come in:)

[Vict0riann]

Tenders going back and forth. It doesn't look like a great day - still a few drops of rain on the webcam.

[aliaschief]

Sea planes, cruise ships, cruise ship tenders, beautiful scenery, Alaska. Yes, gotta love this new cam.

 

Thanks PTZ.

NADM seems to be missing a few passengers and crew!:eek:

[Copper10-8]

Great mirror-like NADM reflection in the water as she's heaving up her anchor and getting ready to follow Solstice outbound :)

[Scrapnana]

Celebrity moving out.

[Vict0riann]

Sounds like Captain van Eerten talking to the other ship.

 

What a pretty evening in Juneau.

[Copper10-8]

The conversation we're listening to is between the officer on the forward mooring deck of NADM and the bridge giving a continued update on the anchor heaving process incl. the direction in which the anchor chain is leaning as its being brought up as well as the shackles on deck

[Scrapnana]

Hubby who came back without his wife seems to have caused some problems for Captain van Eerten.
