This is exactly why when people ask which side of the ship gives you the best view in a certain port, the answer should be it depends on which way the captain decides to park it.

That is quite interesting about the smokestacks. Did not realize they are gone.

I will be on her next month, starboard side. I like that side for the Western Caribbean sailings on Oasis and Allure.

The smokestacks were imploded on Tuesday morning to make way for more efficient ones. It was shown LIVE on the webcam.

 

Here is a link to the video that was taken by PTZtv.com the Port Everglades webcam owners. There are actually two videos from two different perspectives in this link.

What's amazing to me is watching them turn those gigantic ships around! It is a miracle of Science!

 

I agree! The manoeuvrability of these cruise ships I amazing. I know Freedom is smaller, but on my cruise when we were coming into St Thomas, Carnival Glory and Disney Dream I believe had beat us to the dock. So the only spot for us was in the middle between the two. And I was thinking "how is the captain gonna parallel park this thing?". But you don't even really notice the bow is already swinging around. And he inserted us just so inbetween carnival and disney. It was something really cool to experience. Can't wait to experience things like that on the Allure
