Pop quiz; how many flags does she usually fly upon arrival in/departure from port, and what are they?

[rafinmd]

Good crowd on the bow today.

 

Roy

[rafinmd]

I'm thinking 3. HAL, Dutch, and host country.

3 - Dutch flag on bow, Dutch flag and local country flag from the mast. Do they have one on the rear flagpole, I've never seen one.

[Happily@Sea]

I think Roy is right, I was trying to remember the other flag hanging from the mast and could only come up with another Dutch flag.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Doesn't look like too bad of a day in Juneau.

[Copper10-8]

Usually five, not counting any signal flags:

3 Dutch flags on foremast, main mast starboard side, and at her stern (but not today on Toastie's stern ;) )

The national colors of the country visited on main mast, starboard side

The HAL house flag on main mast, port side

All five are taking down upon departure from port by sailors

Hope all the Oosterdam passengers enjoy their day in Juneau.

CLAA Juneau Port Agent Ryan calling down distance to gangway break as usual; those two guys (him and Drew) are really good and know their stuff

Well, she's tucked in behind the Radiance. Time to go home and pack. Thanks Lou & Dave, Kathi, and fellow addicts.
