Behind the Scenes: How Harbor Pilots Navigate Mega Cruise Ships

[@sweetauntbuddy]

I was on Independence of the Seas during Halloween, and had upgraded to a 3rd level ocean view cabin only a week earlier (with the big circular window). As we left the port of Miami, I noticed the pilot boat approaching and got very excited when it proceeded to spend at least five minutes RIGHT NEXT TO MY WINDOW! I could still see the back end of the boat when it picked up the pilot and got some great close-up photos of him waving goodbye to the ship. I'm so grateful I had run across this video last year so I knew what I was looking at and the significance of it. Truly one of the most special memories from my trip. Thank you!

Incredible video! Well done Tyler. It's awesome that you got access and that you were able to document that.

This something a lot of cruise passengers are not aware of taking place when arriving or departing a cruise port.
