[Copper10-8]

Two dam ships in Juneau, AK on Fri, June 24, 2016; The second of the "S" class ships, ms Maasdam, is scheduled to arrive at 0800 local and berth at the Alaska Steamship (AS) dock; she departs at 2200/10:00 pm local.

 

The second of the "R" class ships, ms Volendam, is scheduled to arrive at 1300/1:00 pm and go alongside at the Juneau Cruise Terminal (CT) dock, She is also scheduled to depart at 2200/10:00 pm local.

The third ship in port at Alaska's state capital is Disney Wonder (0800-1700) assigned to the Alaska Juneau (AJ) Dock. No tendering in Juneau on Fri however, there is a good chance Norwegian Sun (on the sched for a Juneau visit today, June 23 but in Skagway instead) will show up tomorrow, more than likely going to the Franklin Street (FKL) dock

Thanks for the report. I'll be watching her sail in. Her next visit I'll be able to do that live! :D

Maasdam on the way in! Early, but she anchors nearby for the overnight.

 

whoops, my apologies, that's the Disney Wonder. Too early in AK for a zoom when she's in the channel. Need my morning caffeine still.

Maasdam turning into the Gastineau Channel. Won't be much longer.

I think Maasdam is appearing way in the distance, going to pass behind the Disney Wonder soon.

I see her, too. Might be too early for "webcam person" to be on the job.

[Boytjie]

Zoom, zoom, zoom!

 

 

Two good looking ships.

[Boytjie]

Not many people on the bow.

[joekerstef]

I miss that Sky Deck... what a view!

[Vict0riann]

I guess she doesn't have the bow open - or else everyone is having breakfast!

[joekerstef]

Not many people on the bow.

 

People don't seem to know that it's open for other than glacier viewing, and if you don't already know how to get there, the signage is not obvious.

I see one person out there. A lot of people also preferred the higher up views from Sky Deck or Crow's Nest on our trip.

The starboard side door looked open on the approach.

[Boytjie]

A lot less people out on deck compared to yesterday morning (bow and upper decks).

 

Webcam operator: pan a bit to the left please? :)
