Great zooms of her.

Nice of the web cam operator to give us a zoom.

Great picture Allen.

Lines going out.  She will soon be officially docked.

Wishing all the Volendam passengers a great day in Juneau.

 

Hopefully the rains will stay away.

See you all Monday.

She’s looking good. Nothing compares to classic elegance.

 

As well as elegance in her decor.  The interior designers of Volendam (with her floral theme) and of Zaandam (with her music theme) got it right as far as I am concerned!

I wonder why the starboard side "diving board" is not at a 90 degree angle.  Looks odd!

Nice close-ups, this early in the season. 😄

 

[Scrapnana]

Have a nice weekend, everyone!

And the camera loses its zoom. See you Monday - same time frame.

Hi from Ketchican aboard Westerdam.  This is our FIRST sunny day since leaving Yokohama 14 days ago, in rainy Ketchican no less. Oosterdam and Maasdam were all here with us. Love Alaska when the sun is out.

Nice  picture.  We’ll be in Ketchikan on the Maasdam in three weeks.....and we’re tendering.  That should be interesting!  I sure hope we get some of that sunshine!

They can pretty much leave it at any angle they wish; perhaps they wanted some free a/c on the fwd mooring deck

Thank you Kathi for this weeks coverage.  We should see at least one more HAL ship in Alaska this week.

We will be on her on the 22nd and looking forward to it so much.  Our first Alaskan cruise....it is so exciting!

Many guests overlook the excellent forward observation areas on Deck 6 as well as the port wing over the Bridge outside of the Gym.  It can be windy and cool/cold, but the view is magnificent.  And, when above the Bridge, one can peek over the edge of the deck and view what is going on when the Officers are at the engine controls on that side of the Bridge.

Thanks for letting me know that rkacruiser.  I take lots of pictures and will be out there for sure even if it is cold.  I am bringing my winter ski jackets and mitts and hat so I should have no problem.  It is always nice to know the best areas for viewing.
