ms Amsterdam & ms Volendam in Juneau September 1, 2017

[Happily@Sea]

Be back later for Volendam.

[Scrapnana]

The raindrops are spoiling the view! Will be back for Volendam's arrival (maybe the rain will stop:):)).

From 6102 can you access that forward deck when the ship is in port or in Glacier Bay or Panama Canal?

 

Not sure if Kathi is sure since this her first R-class cruise but my recollection (from Zaandam) is that it's easy.

 

Guess that's about it for morning, back later for Volendam.

St Phillip has picked up passengers and headed into Tracy Arm. I suspect Volendam should arrive about 4 to 4:30PM.

I am hoping that forward deck will be open frequently. If so, I will consider it my balcony!:D;)

Volendam passing Grand Island.

While waiting for Volendam I have been watching the puppies. They are just too cute!

[Scrapnana]

Coming up to Sheep Creek (which always sounds like something else to me;)).

6 of the 7 tails have a white tip. How's that for passing on that feature,

[rafinmd]

Looks a bit nicer than this morning.

Roy, are you getting the rain and cool temperatures? It is raining and 60 out right now (only a few degrees warmer than Juneau:eek:).

Looks like it's not a bad weather day right now. I've been waiting for the puppy cam to start. Think I'll go see & have a look.

There she is moving behind Amsterdam.

No rain yet but low 60's. I think rain should start overnight.

 

 

You will probably want to step outside your room at night and check to see if people can see inside. The door should be open most of the time unless there are high winds. Views should be good out your windows but no place to sit on the front deck.

[rafinmd]

My next ship behind the mouse.

 

 

Oops, NOT my next ship. Next year.

 

 

Roy

[Scrapnana]

Here she comes. Wonder if we will get a zoom.

[ski ww]

Volendam just coming into view, & it's not raining.

[Krazy Kruizers]

I made it in time to see the Volendam arrive.

[Krazy Kruizers]

The weather doesn't look too bad right now.

[rafinmd]

Volendam seems to be moving VERY slowly. I wonder if she got ahead of the line handlers.

 

Roy

[Krazy Kruizers]

I have to get and get things in the oven.

Roy

 

 

I think you are right. She got here a wee bit early.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Hope all the Volendam passengers enjoy their day in Juneau.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Amsterdam passengers -- even though I missed you all arriving earlier today, hope you all are having a great day in Juneau.

[Happily@Sea]

Well, time for Zooming is over. I think I'll leave the cam up for awhile. It's not raining; the puppies are sleeping on other cam.

 

See you all Monday for the Signature Sisters and you all have a great Labor Day, if you have anything planned - or even if you don't.
