I wanted to add some background on NG Sea Bird which I sailed in 2001. The ship is SMALL with a current maximum capacity of 70 passengers and her itineraries are not listed in Cruisetimetables. Away from the Alaska season I think typical itineraries are Columbia and Snake rivers (my cruise) and the Sea of Cortez. She attracts little attention and typically docks at ICT, the Inside Cruise Terminal, literally across the pier from bigger ships. Here's a screenshot of her today with Regatta. I think the diagram is a pretty good indication of the relative size of the ships. Roy

I would suggest going to Pier 221in any case. There is a shuttle between Pier 22 and Pier 30. I'm not sure what other facilities there are at pier 30 so I don't really know how boarding works. I have a slightly different situation. I arrive in Quebec on QM2 and leave on Crystal Serenity October 25 so I was wondering how to get from one to the other. This is the answer I got when I asked the port authority: "Bonjour Roy, You are right about the location of each ship at the Port of Quebec for these dates. There will be a shuttle on Pier 22 parking lot that can bring you to the Pier 30 terminal. Otherwise, there will be taxi and uber drivers available on those dates that can bring you to Pier 30 from Pier 22. I hope I did answer mostly of your questions. Have a nice day !

I have a sunset today rather than a sunrise. It's from my 2016 Crystal Serenity Northwest Passage cruise and August 31 was probably one of the first days that the sun set before my bed time. It was a sea day from Cambridge Bay to Pond Inlet. Roy

And she's tucked in. Roy

Not really a wide swing today. Roy

Definitely now past the tall pole and about to be blocked for a while. Roy

I think she's by the tall pole. Roy

Noordam passing Thane. Roy

Sea Bird is almost in front of the tall pole" Roy

Oops on the title. It's still August 31. Roy

It will be a hectic sail-in. Sea Bird is almost to the Gastineau, Noordam is on the other side of Douglas Island about the latitude of Thane, and Eclipse is close behind but far faster. Cruisetimetables is wrong today. They show NCL Jewel in BOTH Juneau and Skagway tomorrow.

Thank you Rich, Vanessa, Debbie, Ann, and Dixie for the last Fleet Report and Daily of August. I'm thankful that apparently most if not all of our dailyites are ok after Idalia; prayers for the many who lost so much. I'll celebrate all 3 of the days, especially eat outside day. Been to Manaus twice, both times on the Elegant Explorer. Interesting quote by Abbey. Not sure about the meal. Edison really started something with his invention. Chilly this morning at 68(20)C, and running late this morning. Roy

Sharon, prayers for you and your family, but especially for your uncle. Roy

Today's sunrise is from a 2012 Queen Mary 2 transatlantic. August 29 was the second sea day out of New York. Roy

I think there's a very strong male denial gene. Roy

That's a wrap. Thanks Leanne, Lou & Dave, and fellow addicts. Noordam earlier tomorrow. Roy

A lot easier to swing around with no anchored ship. Roy

Into the basin. Roy

I suspect she's now behind Brilliance. Roy

Nor much more than a spec but she's passing the tall pole. Roy

I've seen worse but not exactly a great day in Juneau. Roy

Hope your power stays home. Heading to the grocery and then home and hoping to be back in time. Roy
