6 ships in st. Thomas on December 22nd... Where do they dock?

[amscene1]

I thought there is room for 3 at havensight and room for 1-2 at crown bay, where would the 6th one dock that day.

 

 

Cruisett shows:

 

Ncl escape

Ncl spirit

Carnival valor

Holland America Maasdam

Celebrity reflection

MSC Divinia

 

Any explanations?

Most likely the guests on one of the ships will have to get to shore in the little boats on the ship. It's called tendering to shore. The dock description is usually described as "at anchor."

I've never seen tendering in st Thomas as I've never seen 4 ships in havensight. I really doubt 4 fit there.

I have seen 4 ships there, but that was when ships were much smaller. Tendering was a frequent occurrence then also

 

Taking a look at the more detailed WICO schedule, the Spirit arrives at 11 am is assigned to near anchorage.

Since the Escape is new, its first stop is the week before with yours truly on board:D, the Spirit was relegated to anchorage, being the 2nd NCL ship.
