Thanks. Nice article.

Nice story. I would love to live near a port and see the ships all the time. Doesn't matter what cruise line it is I've always been fascinated with the ships. They are truly beautiful.

Thanks. I find it fascinating to watch the loading and unloading of cargo and passengers!

Thanks for the link to the story (we'll be on the Star this weekend!) I found the part about the harbor pilot most interesting (especially how he departs the ship!)

Thank you very much for the link. I loved the video. A friend of mine is currently on board The Star as Staff Captain. I will be sailing on the Star just a little over a year from now.

On our Alaska cruise last year, this happened directly under our balcony room. DH was somewhat restless so he was looking out at the ocean as this event began to transpire. After hollaring at me to come look, he caught the end of the transfer on his iphone, so the video isn't great, but it was really cool to see it happen!

May I suggest the King Street Dock ;)

Thanks for sharing!

We watched the carefully orchestrated dance for about an hour while waiting to disembark in January, and the tall white hat of the chef inspecting the produce was impressive :)

Thanks for sharing...it amazes me how these cruise ships do these turnarounds!

[NYcruzzer]

Thanks for sharing. Got me excited for my turn on the Star this July.

[mitsugirly]

That was awesome. I love watching shows/reports like that. Thanks for sharing. :)

Thanks for that link, it was very interesting to watch, will be on the star June 10th can't wait.

good article, it is always amazing on how they can turn around these ships within hours

[Swells1]

I'm always interested in what happens behind-the-scenes of a cruise ship. That would be a reality show I'd actually watch. The logisitcs of it all is really remarkable. :eek:

[maitlandmom]

Thank you for sharing that. I always find it facinating how they can turn those voyages around so fast and seamless. I love to sit on my balconey and watch the flurry of activity.

[Sea and Me]

We will be on the Dawn in November out of Tampa. I hope we get to see the magnificent sunset:)

Thanks for sharing the article.

The Spirit of Ethan Allen, while nice, in no way compares to a cruise ship!
