Is this worth the $20 they are selling it for on Ebay? You can always make a cheaper offer but I don't know if they will accept it or not.
I kind of want to see the video but wondered if it was cool or not.
One thing that is no less than truly amazing is that these ships do not have to drop anchor in Caribbean ports so as not to damage the delicate coral reef as they do have GPS to keep the ships stay right where they are....anywhere on the planet. This is truly, truly a marvel of technology

I have seen that very interesting video on a few RCI cruises we have been on. It seems to be part of their onboard programming. I know QM2 has the similar GPS technology and wondered if all newbuilds use this today??

Mmm...I would certainly hope so that this is the standard for all modern cruise ships. It's good for so many reasons...The residents are very proud and protective over their coral reefs, that is one of the things that cruise passengers come to see when they plan a Caribbean vacation, so it would be very advantageous for the lines not to damage any part of their ports.
I almost can't wait to talk to the crewmen on these ships. If you catch them in a good mood and if they have a free moment you can learn so much. This one sound and lighting technician on Voyager was telling me about the two brigs they have on deck zero. For me, it was always one of those..."well, I think ships have brigs, but I'm not really sure" Got that one cleared up right away!

They may well be selling a pirate copy?
