ms Amsterdam & ms Noordam together in Juneau, AK - August 4, 2016

[Copper10-8]

Thursday, August 4, 2016, a still rare occasion to see both the co-flagship, ms Amsterdam, as well as ms Noordam, HAL fourth and final Vista class vessel, in Juneau, AK. Both are coming in nice and early with AMDM, on a 7-day Galactic insurance charter, at 0700 hrs (departure at 1400 hrs local) going to her usual slot at the Alaska Steamship (AS) dock, and NODM at 0800 hrs. (08:00 am) local, berthing at the Cruise Terminal (CT) dock, and scheduled to depart at 1800 hrs. (6:00 pm).

 

The action can be seen at:

Since Norwegian Sun showed up today, the only other cruise ship in port will be Celebrity Infinity which is scheduled to arrive at 0730 (departure 2000) assigned to the Franklin Street (FKL) dock.

Thank you, sir. Always enjoy seeing Noordam pulling in to Juneau. Looking forward to finally seeing it from the other end :)

Looks like they're sailing on a mirror this morning....

Looks like a pretty morning in Juneau (for once). Even looks like a reflection of blue sky on the left side in the water near the dock!

 

[Scrapnana]

And even a ZOOM!

No raindrops for a change. The Amsterdam is sailing on glass - very nice. And no static. A good day. And a nice close up.

You're correct about that!. And Captain Mercer's first time in Juneau this year.

Wish John was on to translate for me the tides and what they mean about 2 meters ahead and gangway etc.

I have learned so much from him! He is so great about answering all of our questions.

That is the most blue sky I have seen over Juneau in weeks.

Here comes Noordam.

It is nice to see some blue in the sky after so many rainy days!

I hope it's like this on August 16th when I am in Juneau. And hope we get a zoom on the Noordam soon.
