Not necessarily.  He may have been on for a while and not carried over the VHF radio.  BTW, this is the Amsterdam's final season in Alaska for a while.  Not sure which ship will do that itinerary the next few years.  I wonder if the Vistas will fit in Anchorage.

Maasdam will be sailing that 14 day itinerary out of Vancouver next year.  Inside passage and some other changes, (no Kodiak).  I hope they keep the EXC in-depth concept that we enjoyed this year on the Maasdam.

 

I see the Amsterdam is practicing lifeboat drills in the Juneau rain today.

Amsterdam passing Grand Island.  Time for me to head home from the fire house.

Volendam has entered the channel.

[Krazy Kruizers]

She is getting closer.

[rafinmd]

Volendam appears to be about midway in from Thane.  I think the weather has deteriorated since morning.

It is horrible out there.

Good question.  Looks like Maasdam is doing the 14 day itinerary next year.  I liked the 21 day out of San Francisco that it did this past year.  When you arrive at Ketchikan/Juneau/Skagway with 5 other ships, it spoils Alaska for me.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Volendam is in Juneau.

[rafinmd]

I wonder if the 2 R-class ships will go bow to bow this time.

[Krazy Kruizers]

We have a zoom on the Volendam so that we can see her through the rain/fog.

[Krazy Kruizers]

It does look like the Volendam will be pulling in so that the 2 sister ships will be bow-to-bow.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Well soon we won't be able to see the Volendam any more.

[rafinmd]

Getting very close to disappearing behind the Amsterdam.

Wishing all the Volendam passengers a great day in rainy Juneau.

[Krazy Kruizers]

So you all on Monday for the Eurodam and Nieuw Amsterdam.

[rafinmd]

Thanks Kathi, Lou & Dave, and fellow addicts.  Have a great weekend everybody.

The Maasdam tendered in both Ketchikan and Juneau on our May-June itinerary.  We were the smallest cruise ship in port.....not fun.  Too many ships in Alaska and it isn’t getting any better.

Rain, Rain, go away, come again some other day.

The Amsterdam  will be in the St. Lawrence the next 2 summers.

Saying     "St.Lawrence"   could use a bit of    clarification.     It tells little   🙂.   

 

Would you mind to kin dly   share   embarkation and debark  ports?  Seeing you bothered to post at all 

 

I struggle with the  HA site  for   research,

 

 

I hope you enjoy your retreat
