Nieuw Amsterdam in Juneau Harbor on September 21, 2023

[leerathje]

Not too sure why Nieuw Amsterdam would be at FKL dock, but that’s what the calendar says! 

Ms Nieuw Amsterdam will be at FKL dock from 7:00 am to 4:30 pm, and she is on a 7 day Glacier Discovery Southbound

 

 

 

Also in port is Celebrity Eclipse at AS dock (7:30 am to 8:00 pm) and Norwegian Jewel at AJD dock (11:00 am to 9:00 pm)

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers.  I'm still recovering from cancer and hoping to be able to cruise in January if I can get my strength back.

Thanks everyone.  I spent six months in and out of the hospital and a convalescent center.  I have now been home a little more than a month.  One of these days I am going to plug in my computer and get back to Cruise Critic more often (I am terribly slow typing on my phone).

 

I found an old email address that  may or may not work.  Can you contact me at rafinmd-info AT yahoo DOT com?

NA isn't far from Juneau - but only cruising along at 10 knots. She still looks to be early - maybe around her normal 6 am AST / 10 am EDT.

[Happily@Sea]

She is very close to Gastineau Channel. Still at 10 knots

[Happily@Sea]

Entering Gastineau Channel.

[rafinmd]

This seems extremely early.  Half way to Thane already.

 

Roy

[rafinmd]

And we will be first in today.

 

Roy

[Happily@Sea]

She has now passed Thane. So we have dark and a wet lens.

[Happily@Sea]

At least she will be lit up.

[rafinmd]

Looks like a pre-dawn arrival.

 

Roy

[rafinmd]

Not sure how much we will see since the forward lights are dimmed for bridge crew visibility.  We may not see much until the swing around to face the Gastineau starts.

 

Roy

[Happily@Sea]

She is going to be very close to 6 am when she shows.

[Happily@Sea]

It looks to be her - just left of the orange lights.

[Happily@Sea]

Now behind the orange lights

[rafinmd]

Definitely a display of colors.

Oh my, what a dreary day!

Appears to be headed straight to the berth rather than a wide spring.

She looks to be headed out into the middle of the basin - to me. UGH! rain

[rafinmd]

Having trouble figuring out what she is doing now.

 

Roy

[leerathje]

There she is...sort of through the drops.

 

L.

[leerathje]

Now she's turning.

[rafinmd]

Is that the fitness center and crows nest lit up above the bridge?

Looks like it.

Leanne, you were right to question FKL dock.
