Sometimes the webcam can be deceiving on actual distance. The overhead satellite view with the ship in it really shows how big it really is.

Just just looking at a before/after how much Channel/Port areas were widened. Haven't Cruised from here myself in 20yrs. Remember turning in here and smaller Ports, always seemed tight from shore or onboard, when looking down on it from above Satellite/Drone not so much... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watched a nice camera pan from the Port Canaveral webcam. I now see where the turning basin is in relation to the camera. There is a lot more room than I thought. PC is plenty big to handle those big sizes and plenty of them. Learn something new everyday. Thanks again @John&LaLa for the pictures to clarify how big PC really is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why need a turning basin anyway.............They could have backed that ship in there from 5 miles away or better. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorta like two weddings on one day. @John&LaLasaid it was because mardi gras will be home porting from here. The rcl ship is coming in for vaccinations then going to leave.

atricks Posted June 4, 2021 #31 Share Posted June 4, 2021 This was a pretty amazing video all things considered, 5 minutes in is the Odyssey going by the Mardi Gras, 59 minutes near the end you get the Disney Fantasy passing by doing its horns. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100viper Posted June 4, 2021 #32 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Today was probably one of the best days for the Port Canaveral cruise community in awhile. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks tighter on the webcam than it probably is but I'm sure those cars on the bridge do a double take when they see a huge ship coming straight for them. Port Canaveral has the room but I'm sure Odyssey took up most of the channel in her turn around. There is another perspective that live streams on YouTube that gives a better vantage point IMO. A few days ago it had a clear shot of a tiny 20ish foot pontoon boat trying to cut off Explorer as it completed the turn. Absolute stupidity.
