Noordam south of Admiralty Island - giving current updates.

 

I plan to be here in about 3 - 3 1/2 hours for a much closer location.

[Happily@Sea]

Noordam running well ahead of time. She is well past Tracy Arm at 16,3 Knots

 

She may be in Juneau well before 1 hour early. Updates to come. 

[Happily@Sea]

Approaching Grand Island.

[Happily@Sea]

Has entered Gastineau Channel.

I may miss it.  Still at the fire house and I need to get groceries first.

You can't win, it seems.  Noordam at Thane.

That's not Discovery Pr at AS Dock - It looks like the Queen Elizabeth blocking our view..

 

We might have a cameraperson, the camera just pulled back to show a wider view.

[Happily@Sea]

She should be in view anytime now.

[Happily@Sea]

Speaking of the devil, from behind our view blocker.

[Happily@Sea]

Cameraperson has given us a ZOOM!

[rafinmd]

I thought that was Queen Elizabeth.

Is there a no show?

I see Discovery Pr not due for 1+ hours yet.

 

National Geographic Sea Bird for ICT dock at 6 am - is a no show.

I think Brilliance of the Seas may be a no show.

Sea Bird is a very SMALL ship.  She is docked at ICT which is next to the CD dock gangway.

I tried to see her on the map - I couldn't find her.

 

I finally found her - thanks for narrowing down the location.

This is REALLY early.  I hope it isn't for medical reasons.

 

This is Sea Bird next to the docking Noordam:

And now she's hidden.  Thanks Leanne, Lou & Dave, and Carole.

That's the last of Noordam. NA tomorrow - she has arrived early and close to on-time both for her 8 am AST ETA / Noon EDT

 

Thanks, Roy and to our great cameraperson. Thanks also to Leanne for the thread.

Well, I was fooled by how far ahead of schedule Noordam was.  Queen Elizabeth has gone to her anchorage, Discovery is docked at AS, and Brilliance is finally in the Gastineau.  Webcam has been fixed on QE starting tendering operations.

 

I'm curious about what might be happening with QE.  Cunard uses a "step test" for tendering, requiring passengers to cross an 18-inch gap unassisted to be allowed on the tenders.  I wonder if they used the step test this time while docked.

I would imagine they would use the 'step test' - who knows when the pax might be returning to the ship, at the pier or by tender? It would make a difference, even though Juneau is in calm waters.
