Happily@Sea Posted July 27, 2016 #14 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I got here late but I am getting to see her dock. I was expecting the usual 1 pm arrival and didn't check - extra busy - I sat down to eat lunch and found the beautiful Noordam already in port, I did get here in time for the close up. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare rafinmd Posted July 27, 2016 #16 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I think Noordam was quite early. Strange weather today. And all I'm getting is a sound like a slowly idling bulldozer with not a voice to be heard. Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happily@Sea Posted July 27, 2016 #19 Share Posted July 27, 2016 (edited) I usually watch tv while eating lunch, this is better - crappy weather or not. Since the ship will be here about 12 hours, I will not be here for sailaway. :( Edited July 27, 2016 by Happily@Sea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJSULIBRARIAN Posted July 27, 2016 #20 Share Posted July 27, 2016 A tad late but nice close up of Noordam, , rain drops, and fog or low clouds too. I suppose visibility atop Mt. Roberts is nil. Too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rafinmd Posted July 27, 2016 #21 Share Posted July 27, 2016 When is your northwest passage cruise? Too bad HAL is not doing that one! PRDM could do it First, Serenity has 2 more calls in Juneau. I'll be watching Friday as she calls with the Volendam. Her final Juneau call will be August 11 on the way to Anchorage to pick me up. In a switch there I'll probably miss the sail-in but catch the sailaway with the Zaandam. My schedule: July 31-August 5 Amtrak to Bellingham August 6-11 MV Kennicott to Whittier August 11-16 Denali (with Princess) August 16-September 17 Northwest passage. I think it would be great if the Prinsendam would do NWP but I think any of the R-Class could do it as well. I don't think the Northeast passage is reliably navigable but I can almost picture Prinsendam doing a Grand Eurasia circumnavigation maybe Amsterdam to Iceland and Greenland, through the NWP, then down around Japan, Hong Kong, and through the Suez Canal back to Amsterdam.

Rare Scrapnana Posted July 27, 2016 #25 Share Posted July 27, 2016 (edited) Although a little cool rain would feel great right now (it is cooler today with 93 although it still feels like 105:eek:), I would go crazy living where it rains almost every day! Car had to go to the shop today so I missed sail-in but will be here for sail-away. Roy, is this the first time Crystal has done the Northwest Passage cruise?
