aliaschief Posted July 26, 2021 #30 Share Posted July 26, 2021 For our cruise we couldn’t get fixed dining so we’ll be dining mainly in specialty restaurants and we are waitlisted for a couple of tours. We didn’t book until last Saturday so we may just do walking tours and maybe sample some prime local cuisine. Main objective is to be back on a ship at sea. Verandha, good book, binoculars in hand enjoying the natural beauty. We’ll be in our Happy Place! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks to me that she'll be in a bit early; It's 1210 hrs. here on the left coast and she's about to pass Grand Island. From there, it's crossing where Stephens Passage and Taku Inlet meet, then up the Gastineau Channel past Marmion island (usually a pilot call heard on the Juneau webcam). She should be arriving a little after 1300 hrs PST 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might sound funny but there is a good Mexican restaurant - El Sombrero - on Franklin Street in Juneau (walking distance from the ship). Just in case you and the Mrs. have a craving for Mexican while in Alaska 😉 We had a muy rico lunch on that balcony last time 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Copper10-8 Posted July 26, 2021 #41 Share Posted July 26, 2021 (edited) OK, so no "Marmion Island" call from Nieuw A's southeastern Alaska pilot. At times, they will call in a further up the channel. She just passed "Knot to Worry" on her port side Edited July 26, 2021 by Copper10-8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clever: “VACAYA” is a word from Polari, a centuries-old language used by the gay subculture to discreetly communicate. Alongside that, the slang word “vacay” has become a casual mainstream term for vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
