For 8/13, it looks like the Zuiderdam will need to move to another dock from RRF as there is only 3 ships in port that day so the Grand Princess will be able to tender in.

 

For 8/27 sailing, that may not work as there will be 4 ships in town.  The Grand may not be docking at Skagway that day.

Since the Broadway dock is open on 8/13 they could offer either the Zuiderdam or even Grand that dock, time will tell.

When we recently visited Skagway on Discovery Princess we were told the since Skagway is in a fjord the waters are quite deep, too deep to drop and ancho,r which would rule out tendering passengers into the port, unless the ship wanted to constantly use its thrusters.

On the JUL 24-31 sailing, the letter from the Captain did not mention this. The passenger service reps didn’t seem to know when I asked them ‘why we didn’t tender’?

Thanks for the info.

How's the tendering process? Long lines?

 

Any more activities from yesterday's slide?

I’ll post about tendering when I return from my day in Skagway.  
heading down in a few to go ashore.  
mill post some pics. Vids.  
 

haven’t heard anything about any movement today.   But I’m right next to where the slide way and have heard anything.

The train is running as well.    You can see in the distance.   The green is the train.   
a little foggy this morning.   
 

but the weather has been amazing the last few days. So my guess is this will burn off soon.

Where did you obtain this wonderful Skagway dock positions update? 

Good news that Grand northbounds will bump up to BRD dock verses tendering at Aft RR as have been hoping and praying..  We are on 8/17 sailing northbound.

That was posted by The Skagway News on their FB page.  The only other public info is here and hasn't been updated since June 30th.  On your sailing it is likely that you'll either be at RRA (and tender) or move to the open ORE dock.  There's only 3 ships in port so they can do some maneuvering, as long as RRA remains viable!
