Pop quiz and so easy, even I know the answer;

 

What does the Dutch "Oost" in Oosterdam stand for?

 

East

Thanks a bunch, Copper. 😜

A wider webcam swoop there would have been nice to see how close the Oosterdam came to the Orion.

Copper, is there a difference in the gangway setup for Vistas vs Signature.  It seems like the Signature ships always go starboard to while the Vistas seem to mostly go port to.

Ramming speed to the dock before a swing to starboard at the last minute 

 

Hoping those sirens from Capital City FD are not for an Oostie pax

Oosterdam will soon be out of sight when she gets to her dock.

Gangway set-up is the same Roy - which side they go alongside is up to the captain and his staff captain

Wishing all the Oosterdam passengers a great day in Juneau.

See you all tomorrow for the Westerdam.

I would certainly hope not.  At least from our procedures I see no need for lights and sirens to meet a passenger when there will be no access for several minutes.

Roy, 

 

On the first day on the new dock and one of the Signature Sister was docking - they asked if Westerdam's old markings were there. But the new dock had eliminated them. That was the summer Westie went to Italy to do her massive renovation - and Oostie did her first season here [in recent history].

Just looked on kroooze-cams and don't see an ambo anywhere near the docks.  Oostie is tucked in.  Thanks Kathi, Lou & Dave, and fellow addicts.  Today and tomorrow are the 2 Vistas I have sailed.

That's the last of Oostie - see you early for - Westie.

You know the fire guys! Capital City Fire Station No. 1 is located on the west side of town so it takes just a bit longer to get to the docks
