Royal Princess and Alaska 2019-a little nugget

[thinfool]

We were on the 10/26 sailing from Quebec to Port Everglades (cold, windy, even snow).

 

The captain, on one of his daily comments, related that the ship will enter Wet Dock in Freeport, Bahamas before heading to the West Coast so that the Stacks can be lowered a little bit.  It seems that the current height of the stacks could result in damage to the bridge in Vancouver. (Seems like the bridge would damage the stacks, too)

The Lionsgate Bridge has been then way much longer than the Royal has been in Service.  So much easier to lower the stack than to raise the bridge.  Far cheaper too.
