ms Zaandam in Juneau August 17, 2017

[Krazy Kruizers]

Hope it stops raining for awhile. Nothing worse than an excursion when it is steadily raining without any let up.:(

 

 

I know -- we have certainly done a lot of excursions everywhere not just Alaska in the pouring rain.

I often wonder what happens when the main attraction is a beach and then it rains. Not much of an excursion, after all.

Nice zoom in spite of the weather.

Docking port side will set up a quick getaway tonight.

Pop quiz; what is Zaandam named after?

At least it will still be light when she leaves. Of course, if the rain keeps up like now we won't see much anyway.:(

A city near Amsterdam.

Coming up on extended checkout time. Better shut down and hit the road. Have a great afternoon at the pool.

We had that happen many years ago on Bonaire. We had a beach day at a hotel/pool/beach excursion. We were there about 1/2 hour and the rains moved in.

When the rains stopped, several us walked back to the ship.

When I looked at our bill a couple of days later, I noticed that we got back 2/3 of the cost of the excursion -- and we didn't even complain to the shore excursion people. They just did it automatically. I wouldn't count on that happening all the time.

[Scrapnana]

Thanks, Roy! Hope you have a wonderful cruise!

Yep, just north, and not too far, from Amsterdam, both in the province of Noord-Holland

How do you think I knew the answer - right away? :halo:

I blame it on the early hour and the coffee hasn't kicked-in yet. ;p

As Zaandam disappears behind Infinity, I'll say bye for now and see you this evening.

[Scrapnana]

She is out of sight. See you all tonight!

[Krazy Kruizers]

Hope all the Zaandam passengers enjoy their day in Juneau even though it is raining.

Catch ya later when your hair gets straighter

Still right after the South America season? IIRC, next year she sails Buenos Aires to Ft. Lauderdale rather than San Diego.

Everybody should be on board by now.

If this is like last week's sailaway [on Noordam] there was no radio chatter before she just pulled out.
