So do ships follow waypoints too, like planes? I guess I never really thought about this before. In 2014 I went on a tour of my cruise ship, Allure of the Seas by Royal Caribbean. We visited the bridge and I asked the captain about ship traffic control. I remember he said something about us having a set time that we could go into busy ports.
@@JoeDFWAviation yeah they have the equivalent of LNAV, Autothrottle and selected heading hold modes. I believe autopilot is used most of the time between ports to follow shipping lanes (equivalent of airways!), then everything in port is pretty manual. Ports are usually controlled by local traffic services - it’s very similar to tower/ground ATC, with slot times etc. How did you get a bridge tour on Royal? I’ve been on Anthem of the Seas twice and didn’t see it offered
I love the Disney themed horn calls.
@@theoldar I think their newer ships have Star Wars / Marvel themed horns too 😄
Wow this brings me back to the days of ship simulator but with better graphics and more features. I might look into this!
