I don't know if I know where that dock is, unless it is the one most hidden in the back. If so, and depending on which '1 pm' [AST] ships arrive first, we may only see Volendam in the basin area.

It will be interesting to see what the webcam does today.  Volendam drew the short straw today:

 

ACT is "Anchor Cruise Terminal":

Looks like just one more for HAL this season, Volendam on August 18,

Looks like Quantum will be pretty well tied up by the time Volendam arrives.  The 2 ships are both shown on the map as small dots listed as "Passenger vessel tracked by satellite".  Satellite tracking is world wide but less accurate (updated less frequently) so provides a good idea where ground tracking is unavailable.  Cruisemapper includes satellite tracking and I've added the ship names from there to the map:

I thought longevity applied in Alaska  - obviously not. No one has been coming to Alaska longer than HAL IIRC.

Volendam just entered Gastineau Channel.

Whole lotta shakin' going on!

It's a factor but not exclusive.  In their MANY calls in Juneau HAL tenders only twice as far as I can see, both times with the Volendam, affecting the fewest passengers.  Others like Cunard and Regent barely ever see a dock.  I think there are several criteria, and longevity is a major part but not exclusive part of the mix.

Thank you, Roy.

The dock locations I printed on February 27th shows Seabourn Odyssey tendering and Volendam at CT dock.  Maybe the Odyssey will move before the Volendam arrives.  It’s miserable tendering in Juneau when it’s raining.

That mystifies me because Volendam should have priority,  ACT and CT suggests to me that PERHAPS with the Volendam at the CT dock there would not be sufficient room to get tenders into the ACT tendering platform.

If all these ships blocking the view - weren't here - we should be seeing Volendam already. Mickey's ship should be out of the way - view-wise - soon.

[Happily@Sea]

There she is!!

Moving the camera would be nice.

And it isn't like there's anything to see on tying up the Quantum.

You can see a bit from the Snow Cloud 3rd camera down (see post #4).

[Happily@Sea]

Well that's it for me.

 

The 2 regulars on Monday - same sail-in time frame. 

 

Thanks, Roy, and also Leanne for the thread.

[rafinmd]

Per the Marine Traffic map Tender 13 is off.

Looks like Volendam lost it’s berth to the smaller Seabourn ship.  Wish we had a camera person.

Finally we see a bit of Volendam as the webcam has resumed panning:

 

 

Thanks Leanne, Lou & Dave, and fellow addicts.
