wolfganghowell Posted October 1, 2009 #202 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Carnival's John Heald has posted his first hand account of the incident on his blog. Very interesting - both humorous and touching. I feel for the captain (yes I know it's ultimately his responsibility) but it must have been agonizing attempting to avert this "love tap". I also appreciated John's clever writing style and his funny jabs at RCI. One of my best friends is also my competitor in our line of work and I appreciate the ability to be competitive and to do so with humor and respect. And he's right - you can bet the CD on Enchantment had a field day with Carni jokes. The important thing is everyone is ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmann4 Posted October 1, 2009 #207 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Wanted, Captain of a damaged ship. Hmmm, how do you call up the boss and tell him you just wrecked his multi million dollar ship? Ring Ring Ring. Ah, Ummm, I just crashed your ship. Do we have insurance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigtex1622 Posted October 2, 2009 #216 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Is that picture real? Is it a photoshop picture? Or is RCCL's ship just that much bigger?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SingingPixie Posted October 2, 2009 #217 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Is that picture real?Is it a photoshop picture? Or is RCCL's ship just that much bigger?:confused: It's perspective- Enchantment is closer than the Carnival ship, so it looks bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzincurt Posted October 2, 2009 #218 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Pilot only advises he is never in charge !! jj..... I'm not so sure about that. On the LA port show a couple of months ago, the Captain of the RCCL ship took back control of her ship (yes a she) and kept the ship from hitting a cargo carrier that was docked in the channel. The pilot had miscalculated the wind. The TV show was about the pilots in the port of LA and they made it very clear that the Captain kicked the pilot out and saved the ship from a hit.

Niki M Posted October 2, 2009 #219 Share Posted October 2, 2009 The war between Carnival and RCCL is terrible. Carnival is playing too rough when they try to sink our Battleship. Perhaps Carnival is trying to end the war by literally merging with RCCL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
