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

[Scrapnana]

Maybe it's nicer at their destination.

 

Hopefully, that is true. Those float plane excursions don't come cheap!:eek:

[Happily@Sea]

Looks like no cam operator at this time.

[Scrapnana]

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.:(:(:(

[Happily@Sea]

About 2 1/2 hours until the Noordam leaves, if she isn't early.

 

A last look at Amsterdam as she heads out the channel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

ETA: Now a close up. Better than nothing.

Better late than never and a really good zoom!

[Happily@Sea]

Cam person really doing us proud. I'm glad I didn't leave before she left the viewing area.

[Scrapnana]

Thank you, webcam person! Great job!

Sorry I missed that... Busy day on my Prinsendam roll call, we just got the dreaded email with all our Turkish port cancellations - it seems we will not even be going into the Black Sea, but have more Greek, Italian and Croatian ports. Big changes! I'm happy actually, who can complain when you're going to Venice!

Looks like the weather is deteriorating in Juneau.

Are they offering the chance to cancel? I am so happy when I am on a ship that I don't really care where we stop (or even if we stop:D) but I know some people cruise just for certain ports.

[Happily@Sea]

Doesn't look like the Noordam will be leaving at 1800, no activity at all.

[Scrapnana]

No, and the only sound I am getting is a bunch of annoying static!

[rafinmd]

I wonder what's going on.

[Scrapnana]

Good question, Roy. At least the static has stopped (OK, as soon as I typed that, it started again).:eek:

[Vict0riann]

Very strange.

[Copper10-8]

NODM delayed by an hour and 15 already

[rafinmd]

I think I'll call it a night.

The static is there even when I turn off the Mic. So it must be coming from the VHF speaker.

It is. I can't decide which is worse - the static or the drivel on TV.

[SJSULIBRARIAN]

Securitee call from Celebrity Infinity

[Scrapnana]

This is really odd. Mechanical problem? Late excursion? Medical emergency?

[KNOT2L82SAIL]

What is that weird looking boat heading towards the Noordam? Any idea what it is used for?

It sure looks like her departure time has been extended to 10:00 pm like some of the other HAL departures in Juneau

Good question. I wonder if the chatter on the VHF is from whatever that thing is.:confused:

[VintageGeo]

Thought I heard something about possibly an issue with one of the boats. Fast rescue boat, maybe?
