[QUOTE="sonicbuffalo_RIP, post: 372915, member: 21543"] That's a huge problem with a cruise ship that size. At a Q & A with the Captain, he said that it's not necessarily the size of the pier or dock that presents the problem. He said that the whole infrastructure of the port is instantly hit with over 7000 people and the roads, restaurants, and everywhere people go is swamped with people. He said there are very few places that can accomondate a ship that size. He said it's also even tougher when you consider 3 or 4 more ships may be docked there at a specific port on any given day. That means there is well over 10,000 people hitting the town on a given day. I hear a lot of people like cruising and stopping in Canada. We met 2 women and had supper with them every night while on board. They were from Newfoundland, Canada. We enjoyed their company quite a bit. I have their e-mail addresses. I better send them something soon or they'll forget about us. [/QUOTE]
