Another busy afternoon here, hope to be back in time for sail in.

I hope to watch the sail in!

Looks like Veendam has completed the transfer of passengers to St. Herman for the Tracy Arm tour and is headed to the port but behind Quantum of the Seas.

Long way to go yet.

Quantum is definitely going to mess our viewing of Zaandam.

 

She is about halfway between Tracy Arm and Grand Island.

Zaandam not going to make it by 12:30 AST - probably soon after. Just passed Grand Island.

Not even going to be close - just entered Gastineau Channel.

[Happily@Sea]

Passing Thane.

48F and no rain, but Quantum is docking mode and covering most of the screen.

[Happily@Sea]

Should be seeing Zaandam soon.

Mickey's ship is also a blocker at AJ pier.

[Happily@Sea]

There is Zaandam - with her bow in view.

[Happily@Sea]

Lots of noisemakers landing - disrupting the view of Zaandam.

[Happily@Sea]

Nice zooms and she is tsking her time for us.

[Happily@Sea]

Zaandam disappears behind Quantum.  Eurodam and Kdam on Monday. 

 

Thanks to our cameraperson and to Leanne for the thread.

I was a bit lethargic yesterday after my covid booster but did catch a couple of glimpses of Zaandam.  Thanks Dave, Leanne, and fellow addicts.

How late was she for the 12:30 pm docking in Juneau? What time did she actually dock? Thx. 
 

We will be on this cruise in July and have a packed day of excursions in Juneau. We will be returning from the Tracy Arm excursion and then heading out to a Heli-Glacier Dog Sled excursion. Both through HAL, but the timing will be close especially since they just rescheduled the morning Tracy Arm departure for a half hour later.

1:20 pm AST. was our last view of her, probably 10-15 minutes to dock. She had just entered the Gastineau Channel about  15 minutes after noon AST. Normally she is pretty close to time - this past Friday was an anomaly.  Hope this helps.

I'm thinking both tours are impossible.  Unless there's one I don't know about, the Tracy Arm tour meets a small boat at the entrance to Tracy Arm and goes well back into the Fjord and does not return to the ship until perhaps 4-5PM.

 

I'm pretty sure a tour actually from Juneau would see less and return even later.

Hi Roy — we are signed up for Tracy Arm by tender at 9:30 am (6 hours) and the Heli- Glacier Dog Sled at 5:15pm. Both through HAL and HAL excursions said there would be no problem, we’d meet the ship in Juneau in time. But I am getting nervous about the timing, especially since I noticed they just moved Tracy Arm to 10am.

I just checked my itinerary for my cruise in July and they have now officially changed the Juneau docking time for the Zaandam from 12:30 to 1:30 pm. That makes sense since they bumped the morning Tracy Arm inlet service call from 9 am to 10 am.
