Oh, wow! Thank you for posting this!! I was actually just looking for this webcam - it used to be my homepage LOL. Volendam was the best of all of my 12 or 13 HAL Alaska cruises. Loved the ship and the itinerary - Tracy Arm excursion made the entire experience. This coming September I'll be back on Westerdam... my home away from home.. and I love watching it come in and out of Juneau! Almost like being there with the sounds of the gulls, the floatplanes taking off and landing... aaaahhhhh. I wonder if Maasdam will do Alaska next year as well.. if so I will definitely want to be on one of those final cruises before she is sold... thanks again for posting the webcam!

I'm hoping that they move the camera onto the Maasdam. Would like to watch her dock.

It always amazed me how few people take advantage. I'd be out on the bow right now!

Almost as good a view as being on the pier!

[Vict0riann]

That's where we docked last year on Volendam - very convenient location, and near Tracy's Crabshack!:D

Not sure if access to the bow is available all the time (for passengers). I know it is for Glacier Bay (and the Panama Canal locks).
