ZoneHPH Posted April 29, 2012 #77 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Actually, a woman would have parked at the first available spot; a man will keep circling to find the best spot! :D Maybe it was "alterate side of the street parking" in effect? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mizLORInj Posted April 29, 2012 #80 Share Posted April 29, 2012 It was VERY windy on Friday. I was on Star later in the day and wondered how backing out into the wind was going to work out, but we did ok. Surprised the water wasn't rougher because it was so windy. I'm not surprised there could have been docking issues due to wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmdr Cody Posted April 29, 2012 #81 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Sorry, incorrect. The only place a cruise ship captain will relinquish control of his ship is the Panama Canal. Ask any captain and he will verify this. John That is true but the harbor pilot has the con and it responsable for the manouvers. The CO (sorry I always use USN terms) always has the responabilty for his command. The side of a cruise ship would ack like a huge sail in a cross wind. I personally hate it when try to dock my sailboat ant it's only 40 ft long. The mast and stays can cathc a stiff breeze even if the sails are down and furled. It's not real fun to bounce your boat of a dock or pier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOWTYD Posted April 29, 2012 #82 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Since you seem to like pictures of the Star as much as I do, here are the "pictures" I took yesterday morning when the Star was on her way and and then again last night. The people on the CTN didn't know what they were asking for when they asked if I could snap a picture of sail-away for them. :D They got much more than 1. LOL! Thanks Ann! Great job! We had a wonderful time!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not real fun to bounce your boat of a dock or pier. technically except in the Panama canal, the captain has the con. he has to repeat and approve every order of the pilot. the pilot merely recommends. there is no issue of who is in charge. its the captain.in fact on must cruise ships its going to be the captain handling the joy stick that controls the ship in a situation like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TITISSA Posted April 30, 2012 #85 Share Posted April 30, 2012 We'll never understand why in hell that NYC got a shuttle and Houston didn't. Makes no sense. Had to be totally political. More people can visit it in NY than in Houston. MONEY MONEY MONEY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighton Line Posted April 30, 2012 #86 Share Posted April 30, 2012 The Captain is 100% responsible, and can countermand the conning instructions from the Pilot. Why the pilot didn't call for Tugs is the question, expensive but less expensive then the bad publicity. I wonder if the fueling barge had trouble getting along side as well.
