Can you imagine how mobbed the place would be with each of those ships sending two  to four thousand people ashore on a port call?

[getting older slowly]

Plus all the tenders... they would need traffic lights.....

 

Now what caption would be best for the picture......

 

Gentleman .... start your engines....... 

 

Waiting to go through the McDonald's drive thru.....

 

Queuing to buy toilet paper........ 

 

One point  has there were been more cruise ships in one place ever ???

( a photo for the history books )

Another vote for Manila Bay.  But, is that still the situation on this date and at this time?

 

You are correct, as no way this is a current photo.

 

Manila Bay at present only has 6 cruise ships at anchor. Most of them have moved down to Singapore, at least a dozen.

Looks like Grand Caymen on a quiet day.

Looks like they are going to war (hidden under cruise liners lol). This photo is magnificent, I mean these ships are HUGE, even though it doesn't seem like it when you look at it from afar. The one in the middle right is like the biggest one. I wonder if the storm comes, what will happen? I mean they cant just be standing still. I am sure they are moving around from time to time

Well, at least they're maintaining social distancing. 😁

Waiting for crew to come back aboard prior to the resumption of cruising?

The tender pier is hell on earth.

Hopefully a scene to be repeated sometime in middle of 2021 if we are lucky, LOL

Maybe you have not visited Ho Chi Minh City?  If the motorbikes don't get you, the cars might!

 

Amsterdam has "traffic control", but I spent some of my time "wondering around" some areas of the city on the look out for trams, bicycles, and small cars driving on the sidewalk.

Haha, the scooters in Ho Chi Minh city are crazy -- like a hive of wild buzzing bees.  In Amsterdam it was the bikes that I had to watch out for.  My fault because I wasn't staying off the bike path which looked just like a sidewalk to me.  

 

I almost got clipped by a car in Glasgow because it was driving on the wrong side of the street.  😄😄😄

Are there still many ships anchored at Manila Bay?

I think just a handful.  The bright blue AIS targets are cruise ships.

For awhile back there (April, May, June) it was doing quite nicely!
Now it's descended into.......

Which ones?

If you look on the boards for the cruise line you are interested in, you will find lots of info. For example, on the HAL board, there is a thread that regularly updates ship locations. Just takes a little looking around.
