I just heard that the ships are still lined up as there are not enough pilots available. Some kind of strike and some volunteers offered to pilot the ships in. Can you provide information?

I am looking out my window and the only ship that is coming in is the Oasis of the Seas. All the 4 others ships are just sitting in the harbour. |

ok.. you guys keep us posted.. I hope this doesnt keep vessels from calling st. thomas. It would be bad for my cruise.. but way worse for the locals that count on revenue from cruisers.

They are volunteer pilots and dock workers who are not participating in the strike...

While there are Rules and Regs about pilots etc... St Thomas is a port where the Captains should be able to get in and out on their own... Hope it gets fixed soon

I know you are right and the captains must have enough experience to do that.But isn't it obligatory to have a pilot to guide you into the harbor? it remember me on a RCI cruise when they asked the captain what does the pilot do exactly when he comes onboard and his answer was have a cup of coffee and some muffins!
