JasperCruiser Posted April 21, 2019 #1 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I’ve noticed a barge that often pulls along side the Carnival Dream when it is docked in New Orleans. Does anyone know it’s purpose? I’ve never seen one at any other ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bury me at sea Posted April 21, 2019 #4 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I too see them in various ports, refueling. It may be referred to as bunkering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasperCruiser Posted April 21, 2019 Author #5 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Thanks. Everyone’s input will make me sound like I know what I’m talking about when my wife asks. We leave on the Dream in two weeks. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed like a parody on something my grandmother used to say. Red sky at night, sailors delight; red sky in morning, sailors take warning. But definitely off topic.
