Amsterdam will be at the AS deck from 0800-2200 and Volendam at the CT dock from 1300-2200.

 

Also in port is Disney Wonder at the AJ dock from 0645-1645.

 

Mostly cloudy skies are predicted with some rain showers (40% chance).  High will be 69F/21C and the low 53F/12C.  Sunrise is at 5:22 am and sunset at 8:41 pm.

 

The PTZtv webcam can be found at https://www.juneauharborwebcam.com/.

 

Next up:  Eurodam and Nieuw Amsterdam on Monday.

I will miss the sail in for both.  I will be driving to Milwaukee, WI for Irish Fest.

Depending on when Amsterdam arrives - I might miss her. But her normal times will probably get me a viewing,  Doctor's appointment is never a certain ending time.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Thank you for the reminders.

Hope to be here for both.

Thanks for the reminders, hope to be watching.

A'dam is currently anchored (!!??) off the southeast coast of Douglas Island.  Weird!  I've been on that same cruise a few times -- and getting ready to do it again week after next -- and I don't ever remember being anchored anywhere (except at a tendering port).

Disney Wonder is near Thane.  Amsterdam is still anchored.  The webcam is NOT panning today.  I have a dentist appointment and will likely miss Amsterdam but be here for Volendam.

It's just 5:30AM in Juneau.  Amsterdam typically heaves anchor and leaves at 6.  Perhaps you were asleep then.  Have a GREAT cruise.

I have a feeling yours will be better than mine but a cruise is a cruise.

Amsterdam has heaved anchor and is starting to move.

Hope it is nothing serious.

 

Joe had his teeth cleaned last week and lost a filling in the process -- 2 1/2 hours later it was all fixed.  Yesterday he had a really old filling fall out -- dentist is out of town so it won't be fixed until Tuesday.

Looks like a very foggy morning.

Ouch!  Mine is a replacement for a missed appointment where the dentist cancelled me for an emergency patient.

Amsterdam is entering the channel.

[Happily@Sea]

I hope the fog lifts.

At least the Amsterdam will get in close enough for some view.  Does she usually dock port or starboard to?

 

Roy

[AV8rix]

Port, in my experience (always needs to back out 😀).  Ooops, meant starboard!

Usually with Kathi's deck - right up front - and center.

I guess we'll find out today's choice - shortly. 😄

Excellent.

When she finally comes into view it'll be 0800 here and I'll probably miss it 'cause I'll have to take a timeout and call the upsell folks.  I've been offered one that might be acceptable, depending upon deck and location.

Wishing you a great upsell.
