Thread: From the Observation Lounge — where are (Krazy Kruizers) Yonnie and Joe today?

Hopefully Yonnie and Joe had a great time passing through the Inside Passage, and are now comfortable in bed. <!--?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /--><o:p></o:p>

Today they have there first port of call which is Ketchikan. Will have some information later about Ketchikan.
<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>Don’t know if they have any plans or just resting on the ship.<o:p></o:p>

Radiance of the Seas and the ship Garry cruised on recently, can’t also forget Char is going through the Panama Canal on her, Celebrity Infinity are joining Amsterdam in Ketchikan

Today is going to be "typical" Ketchikan weather....

Today Jun 12


56°F High
Few Showers
Chance of Rain:
30%

My guess is that Yonnie and Joe will not be doing anything active on shore today since Yonnie is still recovering from her bad fall. This will probably be a cruise for rest and relaxion.

It will be a busy day for the locals with 4 ships in Ketchikan!

Radiance Of The Seas, Carnival Spirit, Disney Wonder, HAL Amsterdam are all scheduled for today.

I'd bet money they stay on the ship today!

Fortunately, they've been to all of these places several times before.

Yonnie and Joe aboard M/S Amsterdam will be arriving in Ketchikan in just over two hour’s times.

Disney Wonder is an afternoon visitor.

Position of other visitors are shown below.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

Oopsy! I completely missed Celebrity Infinity!

There will be 5 ships in Ketchikan today! Really busy!!!

Radiance of the Seas arrives in Ketchikan, with Infinity being seen in the distance. Suspect Radiance of the Seas will hide our view of the harbour.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

Doesn't look like a good day to get a tan. Sure hope they are having a great time!

Built out over the water and climbing weathered stairways, Ketchikan clings to the shores of Tongass Narrows and drapes the mountains with a cheerful air. Besides the main attractions - Creek Street, the Tongass Historical Museum, Totem Bight State Park and Saxman Village, try a flightseeing trip to breath taking Misty Fjords National Monument--a transformational adventure not to be missed. These deep water fjords left by retreating glaciers left granite cliffs towering thousands of feet above the sea and countless waterfalls cascading into placid waters. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Radiance of the Seas has berthed; we can see Infinity as she enters the harbour. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
As expected the harbour view is obstructed by Radiance of the Seas andnow Infinity has joined her.. So we will just have to wish Yonnie and Joe a very nice day, and if as expected they stay aboard, a nice relaxing day. Note the mountain to the left of the ships as the cloud is now covering the peak. Those clouds are beginning to look troublesome.<o:p></o:p>

I’m fairly certain Yonnie and Joe are staying on board Amsterdam, as from the Ketchikan shot it is pouring with rain, just like here in the UK. (first rain we have had for a couple of months)<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
The mountain is now shrouded with cloud.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Definitely a good excuse to rest and relax<o:p></o:p>
