wadethegringo Posted July 2, 2010 #1 Share Posted July 2, 2010 That's because a Carnival cruise ship which was scheduled to come into port today never did. The ship named Valor Of The Seas and its 3,623 passengers pulled up to English Caye as it should have at 4:00 this morning to wait for a local marine pilot to bring the vessel in. But that pilot never showed up. And if you don't know the importance of a marine pilot, months ago on this newscast we featured those elite navigators who work for the Port Of Belize Limited.

TigerStar Posted July 14, 2010 #2 Share Posted July 14, 2010 The article mentions "Valor of the Seas" and "Legend of the Seas". Are those the actual names of the Valor and Legend? I have never heard them referred to that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted July 14, 2010 #3 Share Posted July 14, 2010 The article mentions "Valor of the Seas" and "Legend of the Seas". Are those the actual names of the Valor and Legend? I have never heard them referred to that way. I beleive the article is wrong on the Valor. It's Carnival Valor. But the Legend of the Seas is an RCCL ship and not to be confused with the Carnival Legend. Legend of the Seas plies the Pacific/Asian waters.
