Please do not think it was the Capt that did this. Every harbor has a "Harbor Master/pilot" that takes every ship in and out and " parks" them in the berth. It is a rip off to the cruise lines but it is done. My DH was in the USCG for 8.5 yrs and knows the game that is played by the harbor masters.

(Original publication: August 2, 2007)

 

NEW YORK (WCBS 880) - A Carnival cruise ship struck a 59th Street

walkway in Manhattan this morning, WCBS 880 reports.

 

The Carnival Victory, a large 13-deck ship, "slightly tapped" the

passenger walkway in the area, said reporters in the radio station's

traffic copter.

 

The report aired shortly before 8 a.m. No injuries have been reported,

but traffic has backed up on the West Side Highway as a result of the

accident.

 

The New York City cruise ship port is at 55th Street and Twelfth Avenue.

 

The Carnival Victory can carry 2,758 passengers and 1,100 crew members,

according to Carnival's Web site.

Also can you elaborate on the "game" that is played? Sounds fun.

I sense an employment opportunity coming up!

 

Someone's lost his Pilot job! - since he was legally responsible

(all part of the game!)

It doesn't take a lot of IMAGINATION to say that the DESTINY of the passengers on the current sailing is a late start to their HOLIDAY. Hopefully, Carnival will swallow their PRIDE and get into the SPIRIT of things by starting the CELEBRATION early with free drinks of the day. Soon everyone will be in ECSTASY thinking about their trip to PARADISE.

Ok, I know they're going to Canada, but Paradise sounds better :D
