BTW, this is the Amsterdam's final season in Alaska for a while. Not sure which ship will do that itinerary the next few years. I wonder if the Vistas will fit in Anchorage. Roy Maasdam will be sailing that 14 day itinerary out of Vancouver next year. Inside passage and some other changes, (no Kodiak). I hope they keep the EXC in-depth concept that we enjoyed this year on the Maasdam. I see the Amsterdam is practicing lifeboat drills in the Juneau rain today.

Rare rafinmd Posted September 13, 2019 #30 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Volendam appears to be about midway in from Thane. I think the weather has deteriorated since morning. Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Maasdam is doing the 14 day itinerary next year. I liked the 21 day out of San Francisco that it did this past year. When you arrive at Ketchikan/Juneau/Skagway with 5 other ships, it spoils Alaska for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kruizers Posted September 13, 2019 #36 Share Posted September 13, 2019 It does look like the Volendam will be pulling in so that the 2 sister ships will be bow-to-bow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Maasdam tendered in both Ketchikan and Juneau on our May-June itinerary. We were the smallest cruise ship in port.....not fun. Too many ships in Alaska and it isn’t getting any better.

sail7seas Posted September 14, 2019 #47 Share Posted September 14, 2019 (edited) Saying "St.Lawrence" could use a bit of clarification. It tells little 🙂. Would you mind to kin dly share embarkation and debark ports? Seeing you bothered to post at all I struggle with the HA site for research, I hope you enjoy your retreat .
