That site you previously linked somehow got the full deckplans. What does everyone think?

Y'all, I found this in YouTube about peeping for fires on a cruise ship

I watched Gary's video and it was OK on the topic. I tend to stay away from cruise Youtubers. Most of them are insufferable.

This is what I've used to keep me informed on it. Looks to be they just updated it for this year:

Here's a close-up of the damage.

Definitely started in a lifeboat.

Lifeboat can't cause fire

Actually, in my experience, ships take docking pilots in most East Coast ports, most notably the Northeast, not just NYC.  Any time there are tugs involved in the Northeast, the tug company will require a docking master as part of the tug service.  And, no, the docking master, the same as the harbor pilot, will not "handle the controls", as they are precluded from doing as they are not company employees.  No pilot ever handles the controls of any ship.  Elsewhere in the US (Gulf Coast and West Coast), the harbor pilot will dock the ship right up until it is against the dock, again when tugs are used, the pilot's association has agreements with the tug companies to allow the pilot to direct the tugs.  As I've said, some cruise ship Captains will take over the conn, but not always.

Panama Canal......

Here's two tours someone did of the ship if you're interested:

This could be it. It's an STX Prototype and similar dimensions.

Hi All

I just saw this and was hoping if someone could tell me if it's true or not. It sounds strange, but they don't have anything on order for Costa or after the vista.
