ms Amsterdam & ms Noordam together in Juneau, AK - July 21, 2016

[Vict0riann]

Tracker says Celebrity Infinity.

 

Thanks, now I see the X.

 

Hope the weather improves for all the poor people on board, arriving in the rain.

[Happily@Sea]

Webcam person gave me a nice five second super zoom of my cabin but then panned out to see Celebrity arrive.

 

My cabin is on the starboard side, facing the pier - no super-zoom for me. Some people are lucky or privileged. :D I'll be on her in Dec - through the Panama Canal.

It's a shame Infinity could not have been five or ten minutes later. We could have had a great view of Amsterdam docking.:(

It reminds me of the Westerdam and Nieuw Amsterdam always arriving together, someone always gets a lot less time on camera.

[Vict0riann]

I had better go and get on with my day! Lots to do, plus I need to get my hair cut. Bit early for that, though.

[Scrapnana]

Looks like we are going to get a little docking action!

Someone was listening or Infinity's berth is just too inaccessible for good views.

 

 

ETA: this is fun to watch.

It is fun to watch and educational, too. I have learned quite a bit about docking this summer.

[Happily@Sea]

Scrapnana - Norwegian Sun is at Sitka according to the tracker. Maybe they are doing an Amsterdam itinerary change - don't want to tender; even though where the dock where the ship sits perpendicular to the camera is empty.

[Happily@Sea]

Early leaving times today, I should be here for them, since it's not the middle of the night here in the eastern time zone.

Interesting. Maybe they have to change sometimes due to the availability of resources (dock workers, pilots, facilities on shore, etc.). I wouldn't want to be in charge of scheduling!:eek:

 

 

See everyone for the sail-aways.

I think it's Norwegian Sun that's done that several times. It could be because there's a new dock in Sitka that wasn't factored into NCL's original planning.

I just looked at the Sun's roll call. NCL has not been telling passengers in advance about the change. They've mostly been skipping Skagway, visiting Sitka, and fudging the Juneau date.

 

The reason from the roll call rumor mill is that the Sun is having water treatment issues and they're going into the open ocean more so they can dump their gray water.

Ms Amsterdam is playing with her tenders and they are on the radio. Very entertaining.

[Scrapnana]

The day has not improved much in Juneau.

[Happily@Sea]

Amsterdam's saying about 30 minutes to leaving.

[Scrapnana]

And we are hearing the chatter from the bridge! Now if we can just have some good zooms!:D

[Scrapnana]

Dropping lines in five minutes.

[Scrapnana]

Is someone being left behind?

[Happily@Sea]

Getting ready to leave.

[Scrapnana]

Lines dropping.

[Scrapnana]

Evidently missing person is onboard. Hope his passport is too!

[Happily@Sea]

Last line down.

[Scrapnana]

Can't imagine that the people in the float planes will get much of a view with the low clouds and rain.:(

Maybe it's nicer at their destination.

 

Ship is moving.
