Rare Scrapnana Posted August 16, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Westerdam will be at the CT dock from 0800-1800. After numerous weeks of the HAL ship being the first one in on Thursdays, last week she was the last. We'll see if last week was just a fluke or for some reason the HAL ship is letting the others go first (of course, they are scheduled to go first;)). After showers in the morning there is supposed to be some clearing in the afternoon but still a 50% chance of rain. High will be 62F/17C and the low 48F/9C. Sunrise is at 5:22 am and sunset at 8:40 pm. Also in port are Norwegian Jewel at the AJ dock from 0700-1315 and Infinity at the AS dock from 0730-2000. The PTZtv webcam can be found at http://www.juneauharborwebcam.com/. Next up: Zaandam and Volendam on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happily@Sea Posted August 16, 2018 #4 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Westie approaching Gastineau Channel from SW around Douglas Island - Is leading everyone. Probably between 30-40 minutes until in sight. It's getting noticeably darker in the am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happily@Sea Posted August 16, 2018 #7 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Westie has to be getting close - she's been in the 'channel dead-zone' for 14 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare rafinmd Posted August 16, 2018 #11 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I see a bit of Westie now. Breakfast will need to wait. Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happily@Sea Posted August 16, 2018 #12 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Roy, How did you like the size of Westie? I like the smaller ships - but if they are all going to be sold off or sent to special itineraries, the Vista Class is a good size for me.

I like the smaller ships - but if they are all going to be sold off or sent to special itineraries, the Vista Class is a good size for me. Carole I was fine with the size of Westie and would happily sail her again although there were some things, not really related to size that were sub-optimal. I like being able to walk outside forward view to stern but was unable to do that on Westie with the cabana area and I much prefer the traditional piano bar to Billboard Online. My other complaint is that there seems to be a persistent problem with internet on Westie; it was much better both on Oosterdam last year and Volendam this year. Of that design I actually prefer twins Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria although it's more likely to be the Vista/Signature ships due to itineraries. I think most of the R class will be with us perhaps until I need to give up cruising; while a bit bigger than the S class I like not having a dead end hallway near the Half Moon room.

Happily@Sea Posted August 16, 2018 #20 Share Posted August 16, 2018 She always seems to get good photo-ops. She will be approaching the dock - just in time to not be there too early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy It's weird - all the things you don't like about her have been added since my 56 days straight on her. So I haven't actually had that problem with her - but I know what you mean about the cabanas - all the larger and/or refurbished Vistas have them now - including around the main pool area - which I sincerely dislike.

Rare rafinmd Posted August 16, 2018 #24 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I'll cut out a bit early for our arrival in Puerto Chiappas. Hope all the Westerdam passengers have a great day in Juneau.
