Why did MSC elect to not come to PC to disembark on time like other lines

Disney Fantasy stayed ON in Port Canaveral.Sat.  We met her coming out as we were approaching.  I think they re missing Cozumel.  EM

was it really the right call by MSC?  

Clearly you are not happy with the decisions made by the bridge.
Please share how you would have dealt with it all if you were the ship’s Master?

I heard a Carnival ship had to have a two-tug assist to get into port, missed the ship name. Now that is an expense but safety first. 

 

Oh yeah, The Cruise Spotter on TikTok has that footage. I think it was the Celebration though it might have been the smaller one, it needed a tug at the front and back to spin her around in the turning basin and then help push her into the berth. Two other ships had the tugs following along just in case.

That was crazy. It was like a cruise ship came out of nowhere as we were approaching and that was 1:30pm. I supposed they had to "eat that night in the name of safety." But what do they know? They're just cruise ship captains, meteorologists, port authorities, pilots and others who have many years of training. I'm sure they made the wrong call according to many 'who know better' who have never steered a rowboat in their lives. 🙂
