Well I cant say for sure but that tropical storm was generating some serious weather,the ships reading was that the wind was 25 knots,that will blow up the seas

The Oasis docked beside us at Costa Maya - dwarfed our Royal Carib ship which was 800 ft long - like we were a dingy, almost. People were looking down at us from the Oasis by 3 or 4 decks while we were on the top deck.

Cycle through the pics - awesome size of the ships.

I was in HI and the QM2 came in.
Looks like a moving city block.
Glad you had a good time.

So, do those things use, like, Cat 3208s for bow thruster motors?

The 3208's are for the blenders at the 24 different bars on the ship

they manuver that boat with great precision,you cant even feel it when it touches the dock,all computer controlled,when docking the speed registers at .2 knots,very slow and very precise.

Well, that's no fun!  Need to yell at the deckhand (notice not the WIFE!), "The line on the starboard side...on the right side...NO! The Other right!!"
