So I was watching the Video and noticed the Legend started her Engines back up, Curious why that happened. 

I would imagine that the officer of the watch on Legend saw the situation unfolding and called down to engineering and asked them to bring engines online in case the collision caused Legend to break free of her moorings, thus requiring power for maneuvering. 

Looks like it could have been a loss of situational awareness by the bridge team. That can happen quickly with strong and variable winds.

I also wouldn’t rule out a failure of the stern thrusters. I would have expected to see them working at full power to counter the wind but they were never used throughout the video. Glory sounding it’s whistle could be an indication of that.

To those saying that someone lost their job over this: absolutely not. The bridge team will give a debriefing of the events, most likely go for some simulator training, and the events will be used to enhance training for the rest of the fleet’s deck officers. Terminating well intentioned officers for stuff like this would cause a degradation in the safety culture of the company. 

Cozumel and Costa Maya are notoriously difficult for docking maneuvers. I’ve seen more than a few ships discontinue the approach to the pier and either formulate a new plan or cancel the port of call altogether.

Hello All,

Does anyone know where DCL docks in Reykjavik? I'm trying to book a rental car in a location that is close to the pier.

Thanks!

Has anyone sailed with Captain Karin Stahre-Janson? What is she like? I'd love to meet her!
