On America's Independence Day both Westerdam and Nieuw Amsterdam are making their weekly appearances in Alaska's state capital .

 

The ships are scheduled for a 13:00/1:00 PM AKDT arrival with WEDM assigned the Cruise Terminal (CT) dock while NADM, on a weekly dock/tender swap with Celebrity Solstice, will be tendering to the Anchored Marine Park (AMP). Both ships are scheduled to depart at 22:00/10:00 PM.

Also in port will be Crown Princess (11:00-22:30) going the Franklin Street (FKL) dock, as well as the aforementioned Celebrity Solstice (13:30-22:00) at the Alaska Juneau (AJ) dock.

 

Meanwhile, John/Copper10-8 will be spending the 4th out at sea as the Veendam makes its way to Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. You can follow his cruise vacation here: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2374225

Thanks, Peter. And thanks for the tip about Copper's "Live From" - everyone likes a Live From, and there are three going on now, so we can cruise vicariously!

Thanks for the reminder, Peter! Hope to be here for the sail-in as well as the sail-away.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Thanks for the link.

Didn't get to see them sail in. Have been busy all day.

[Boytjie]

A busy day on Sunday with 6 ships listed.

 

Grand Princess just arriving now (she will be tendering).

 

 

 

 

A lot of people on deck for the 1 PM arrival.

Crown Princess has just arrived and is in the process of docking. She has a medical disembark waiting.

Zoom on the Westerdam.

I'm finally catching my first sail in.. It's the small things, after working at the coffee house during the town's parade.

[Scrapnana]

Juneau is having a noisy parade. Every vehicle in the city must be participating.

Westerdam entry looking sharp.

Great close-ups today!

[IllinoisGirl1978]

That was a great shot of the float plane take off, it went behind the Westerdam.

[Scrapnana]

Here comes Nieuw Amsterdam

[Happily@Sea]

Great shot - both DAM ships.

Great shot - both DAM ships.

 

And, so far, my only two DAM ships:D

Gotta work on that.;)

[Scrapnana]

Interesting watching the tenders being made ready.

[rafinmd]

Nice shot of the tender prep. I assume I've seen similar on QV, but haven't tendered on Cunard since 2010.

When I was on the Eurodam, I would watch the tenders being raised and washed off. Really cool from the POV.

[Scrapnana]

I guess that is all the DAM fun for now. Hope some of you will join me for sail-away.

That's a dam shame.

But you're adding a 3rd in a BIG way.
