Eurodam in Juneau Harbor on May 1, 2023

[leerathje]

Here we go, the first sail in post for Juneau, Alaska!  These sail in posts will be different… most of you will watch the sail ins, not the sail aways.  (Juneau is 4 hours ahead of Fort Lauderdale, and most HAL ships leave Juneau around 10 pm Juneau time.)  No waves either, and you will find that Juneau sail ins are not for all, but still, the chance to see some of HAL’s BHBs! 

 

 

ms Eurodam will be at CT dock (Cruise Ship Terminal Dock) from 1:00 pm to 10:00 pm, and she is on a 7 day Alaskan Explorer.

 

Also in port is Norwegian Bliss, at AJD dock (1:30 pm to 11:00 pm)

Next up:  Nieuw Amsterdam on May 2, 2023.

Thanks Leanne. I will be in Juneau on June 1, 2023, on Nieuw Amsterdam.

Sadly, I will mostly miss Monday sail-ins as I have a church meeting (ZOOM) at 4 most Mondays.  The ships are often about an hour early in Juneau so I may catch just a glimpse of her before the meeting.

 

This will be a good one as there are only 2 ships.  Often we get only a brief view of the BHB if they are at CT dock and another ship comes in and takes the AS dock, blocking our view..

The times for 1 pm AST match up closely PEV/FLL sailaway times. The other days are much earlier - usually between 10-noon EDT.

 

I do plan to be here. Thanks, Leanne.

I wonder what kind of typical Juneau weather we'll have for today's sail-in?

 

I hope the cam is centered on the piers - with only 2 ships in port.

I had hope for you, as the couple of times I have had a peep at the Juneau cam lately, it wasn't moving.  However, I did notice that it is now panning....

The Juneau cam keeps spanning and when the ships come in, they zoom in on the ships. When the season opened and the Norwegian Bliss was the first ship in, the zoomed to the dock and you were able to see them roping up the ship and then passengers getting off. Loved it!

I'm thinking Eurodam will be really early today..

Eurodam, sneaking in. 

[rafinmd]

Should be arriving any moment now.

 

Roy

[rafinmd]

OK, time to stop panning.

I've been watching these cams for about 5 years. If the cameraperson is available we do get close-ups. Last season there was quite a bit of panning - at least on the days and time that HAL arrived.

[Happily@Sea]

Really nice close-ups today.

A very close zoom right now as she ties up.  We need to enjoy it while we can before the number of ships gets larger and there's not so much time to spend on one ship.

Or the view blocker follows us in. It is what it is, at least we can get some great views.

[Happily@Sea]

Same time for Nieuw Amsterdam tomorrow, maybe just as early. I'll be sure to check earlier - now that I've already been caught out today..

 

Still a nice view. Thanks, Leanne for the thread.

[rafinmd]

Great view of the "We Love Alaska" banner.  Thanks Leann, Lou & Dave, and fellow addicts.
