  1. I think all of us should invest in tug boats, you just know the new protocol for leaving on going into the Baltimore Harbor past all their bridges will now include at the least 2 tug boats, one on each side of the large ships.
  2. I pretty much believe that guy on YouTube should keep his day job and leave the clean up job to someone with more experience in that line of work.
  3. No word might mean,get ready for a bus ride first before your cruise.
  4. I would think lights going and off a few times like they did, would have made me watch and say what in the heck is that ship doing................then you are darn sure I would be watching it, even if I was eating a sandwich.
  5. .What is his experience on cleaning up this kind of accident? He is a fireman right or is he just trying to get as many clicks on his YouTube Channel? I hope he backs off some and just lets the people that know what they are doing do their job.
  6. They were on their break, I would have been noticing this big ?[(] boat sailing into the wrong area to go under the bridge. That is for sure!
  7. How about a warning of a large ship coming at the bridge in the wrong area(not center of bridge where ships normally go through at)............That would have gave me enough warning to get the heck out of there as fast as I can!
  8. Why wasn't the supervisor of the crew contacting them to get off the bridge, they should have got the call the same time the police got the call. I believe there is always Bridge Patrol Cars close by at both ends(Northbound and Southbound) of bridges like this to shut down things quick incase of vehicle accidents and such. That is why the patrol cars on both ends were already in place so quickly, If patching say on one side of the bridge(northbound side), you wouldn't need any patrol car on other end(southbound side) to do patch work on northbound side. Here in Virginia where there are lots of tunnels going through mountains, the tunnels are monitored 24/7 plus cars stationed at each end of the tunnels incase of problems.
  9. Most people on this site show no mercy, when given a chance they will jump all over you. Sadly par for the course on this site. 😞
  10. don't get it, why the one voted off didn't use the immunity they found? I haven't watch Survivor in awhile. I forget how and when do you use i I like Amazing Race better anyway, the places and scenery they go to is amazing!
  11. Majority don't fly to Baltimore to get on ships that Royal ports in Baltimore. The ships they port just don't have the eye candy that the Florida Ports offer. Thus there are a ton of more people flying to Florida. Price of flights doesn't even matter.
  12. I think most people like whatever ship is in Baltimore for the convenience of just driving to the port.....There isn't alot of people flying to Baltimore to jump on Vision is there,when there is so many other options to fly to in Florida.
  13. On this dry dock for Vision,are they actually changing/adding things or is this just adding lip stick to a pig dry dock? Does anyone know?
  14. I assume not all bridges have the capabilities of building the supports on land though. The length of the span also can make this a problem and the type of bridge it is. Suspension bridge,etc. This was just an unlucky event,if this issue happens with the ship out at sea all we maybe hear about is a stranded ship out at sea and it is towed back to a port for repairs.
  15. I wouldn't be surprised, have you ever seen the size and weight of a container ship this size looks like in person? Any ship this size moving even at a slow pace could take out any bridges piers like this. The objective of ships this size or any size is not to run into the piers holding up a bridge.
  16. You can always take an Amtrak Train from Norfolk, Va to Baltimore Penn Station, it's about a 5 and half hour train ride, then 5 mile Uber ride to the Port in Baltimore. On our last cruise we took an 8 hour train Ride from Roanoke, Va. to Newark Penn Station,NJ. It was a fun way to get to a cruise without dealing with freaking airports.
  17. You can tell where some of the locals live where the smoke comes up through the trees on the shore. Some are not very far from the compound(Royal's fenced in area.)
  18. Seen the first show and enjoyed it somewhat, but since I haven't figured out what night it is on on regular TV or if you just have to stream it off one of the pay channels.
  19. Had my first Keto Big Mac Salad tonight, it was very good and plenty filling enough. Really surprisingly enjoyed it. No sugar at all in the dressing(sauce) I made that taste so close what McDonalds uses without all that sugar. https://thatlowcarblife.com/big-mac-salad/ Next to try the Big Mac Chaffle, the waffle(bun) is made out of egg and mozzarella in a waffle iron.
  20. What is the platform with red umbrella just a little ways away from your Cabana for? Seems like that could be farther away for more privacy?
