[Cruise Suzy]

Yep, I can see parts of her

[Happily@Sea]

Out in the clear.

[Happily@Sea]

Cameraperson??

[Happily@Sea]

And a Zoom!!

[Happily@Sea]

She should be swinging around to show the stern to the cam for docking.

[Happily@Sea]

She's going to be really close to 'on-time' - not early like her sisters.

[rafinmd]

Wow. Just home from my mid-day errands but still have some frozen food to put away.

Nope, that is surprising. I was figuring a 1pm arrival -which wouldn't affect NA.

[rafinmd]

I wasn't expecting this much of a zoom.

[Cruise Suzy]

Certainly can see the Deck 2 MDR tablecloths!

[rafinmd]

i think this is it for me today.  Thanks Leanne, Lou & Dave, and fellow addicts.

 

Roy

[Happily@Sea]

Looks like she is all tied down. 

 

Thanks to my fellow addicts and to Leanne for the thread.

 

Noordam at 8 am AST / Noon EDT - but she is usually about 2 hours early.

New watcher here.  Where do all the floatplanes go.  Just sightseeing to glaciers?

Never having been to Juneau, but living in a town that is on the ocean (Comox on Vancouver Island, British Columbia), our floatplanes do sightseeing, but there are also remote villages that are accessed by boat or plane, and I'm sure there are also (expensive!) fishing lodges that are accessed too. As well, here, we have floatplanes that fly from Comox to Vancouver multiple times every day.....so they would perhaps fly to Anchorage, or other towns in Alaska.

I'm pretty sure these planes just fly in for the cruise season and go to lodges and glaciers either landing or scenic viewing.  I suspect there are either amphibious airplanes or float planes that serve remote communities but they are located closer to the airport which is several miles north of town.

I was just curious.  It seems the planes all line up, fill with passengers and then take off one after another.

 

we’ve been on 8 Alaska cruises.  The last one was in 2019 before COVID.  We took a helicopter one year to land on a glacier, but have mostly done whale watching excursions.

 

Im getting my “fix” by watching the webcam and recalling the thrill we got each time we cruised into Juneau.
