I find it weirdly comical how the dots off the south coast of England suddenly morph into arrows, and then desperately try to avoid a two bladed shuriken.
Someone should turn this into a mobile game.
Oh, gad. I just naturally parsed that bit as AIS symbols, and didn't see it.
that were crude ship shapes, but whatever tickles your fancy.
Geometry wars
It's almost like the opening for Dad's Army.
But the idea that these companies cared enough to try and get their crews home, even if it was only for economic reasons, put a smile on my face.
I’m in Afghanistan at the moment which is landlocked. I can confirm that there are no 🛳 cruise ships here.
Thanks for the update.
but i thought the USSR sent troops to Afghanistan to secure a warm water port?
Boy that information was so hard to come by. Thanks for sharing!
we should fund a project to dig a canal through Pakistan to connect Afghanistan to the Sea
Have you checked behind the couch? It's amazing what can turn up back there. I once found half a bagel.
Nobody tell the pirates about these fleets of mimimally-crewed luxury liners.
please, everybody,, pirates deserve ostentatious luxury too.. All Aboard, me mateys, All aboard!
I would like to see the pirates attempt to board the cruise ships all conveniently located next to land masses with folks like the SBS literally less than 10nm away.
Cruise ships aren't really designed in a way that would make them useful for pirates nor are they something you can easily sell on "the black market"
@@aaaaa359 That cracked me up.
@@lmaoroflcopter 10 nm: probably 10 nauticalmiles
my brain for some reason: nanometers
The cruise lines are hemorrhaging cash. Most people have no idea how expensive those ships are to run. What a crazy time.
This channel is a classic example of quality over quantity and I am here for all of it
Thanks Ryan. That's my intention
@@CasualNavigation :D
Same as Chief Makoi vlogs
Not so much quality as expected.. only graphs, not a single picture of these „huge“ and „massive“ clusters of ships. Disappointing
to bad youtube wants quantity over cuality
Yes. The imfamous Cornish hurricane season, that's sure going to shoo those ships away! :)
@Alexander Challis Bermuda isn't exactly Cornwall, is it?
Well, we did have Storm Ellen and Storm Francis during August, both of which had windspeeds equivalent to a Category 1 hurricane.
Mikosch2 the dépressions that cause hurricanes follow the golf stream when they go in the Atlantic, so yeah it’s pretty much the hurricane season there too.
Many of the storms follow the Gulf Stream, driven by its comparative warmth, so they will end up in Cornwall & Devon, making that part of the UK pretty stormy at times. Ok, it's not New Orleans and the Caribbean and Gulf hurricanes, but there are still flash floods and high winds, which can be a surprise to some people who expect our normal mild, benign weather. These warm winds from the sea carry plenty of water, so when they are forced upwards by steep cliffs and the lie of the land, this falls as torrential rain.
Boscastle in 1957, 1963, 1996, 2004 are a case in point. Also 1952, Lynmouth, 34 dead.
Alexander Challis Bermuda. Isn’t Cornwall
In France, ships who were in Carribean Sea went to western France in order to make local visits. Instead of going to caribean sea, ships were giving cruises in France
I’ve been on the Caribbean Princess from March to July, we did one cruise and spent the last four months of my contract taking the ship around to take crew home. We also did crew transfers between other ships (from other companies too!)
Now the ship seems to just be waiting there to be back in service. Not sure how many crew are onboard but there was around 100 when I left.
mcTREXmc Probably will never see service again
Commenter2 Let’s see...
Glad to hear the companies worked together.
We have 2 ships of Caribbean Princess here at the pier of Curacao 🇨🇼, they’ve been here for a month or two now
@@MaJieMao that’s right! We’re all in this together
A lot of them were anchored at Manila Bay. ⚓🚢😊
I wish I'd taken a screenshot of an ais tracking site back then. Great channel by the way Chief. I really enjoy your cinematography
Chief MAKOi and Casual navigator... Now that's a duo worth watching, keep it up fellows
@@CasualNavigation oh wow, I looked up an image media.apnarm.net.au/media/images/2020/07/04/v3imagesbind09f5800adcde1ff36a10089eb647f72-78oeh7ormc3km748mu2_t1880.jpg
@@CasualNavigation Before there is 10 Cruise Ships in the manila bay LOL
They were there only to bring home the crew, which took long time, which again is normal for Philippines, red tape is the speciality of the Philippine bureaucracy. After that the ships moved to Singapore, where they are safe from corrupt filipino politicians. We will never know how much money were paid in fictions fees to get the crew off the ships, the problems were invented by politicians/bureaucrats. Filipinos were allowed to come home but suddenly it was more important to invent new ways of legalized corruption.
I live on the cost in Dorset (Bournemouth) and on one day I counted 10!! There were all dotted about and very close, they are Huge!!
I need to try and get down there before the industry restarts
@@CasualNavigation try to head to Weymouth while you're down, there's more to see there than by Bournemouth as the coast wraps round them
Casual Navigation bring a drone so you can film them! That would be so cool to see. Some drones could even fly all the way out to their anchor point, but that’s kind of illegal in many places.
@@CasualNavigation I live on the coast nearer Southampton, so keep seeing them come into dock. It is my understanding that a number of local tour vessels have got permits to get up close and personal with the ships. Would definitely be worth the trip if you do come down
ywqh Weymouth is where its at atm, a hardly used massive bay hidden behind some extremely treacherous waters, nice little hiding spot and out of the way
In Venice people are actually happy the ships are gone because they used to just cast a vast shadow over parts of the city and just looking weird like a giant next to a mouse
They complain but love the tourist money. Venezia is otherwise boring without tourists.
instaBlaster...
@@alexnutcasio936 Veeniza? That’s not a place.
@@the4tierbridge Venezia……..
I remember seeing at least 3 cruise ships at anchor off the coast at Swanage, UK. Was quite an odd sight seeing them there just waiting around.
Probably the same ones I can see from Bournemouth, I live right on the clifftops and you can hear them running on quiet nights.
I'm just round the corner in Weymouth we have 7 or so in the bay
@@whenthewhenthe8541 yeah, went to Durdle Door last Sunday and seen them there.
We have them here in our bay, you can see in our videos
You listing off the ship sounded like a story book
4:14 Also to discharge Grey waters and Clean Bilge waters outside 12NM
We did that about once a week or every two weeks since not alot people onboard to make waste
Who is doing all the shitting?
@@armaan069868 Well grey water isn't shit water. Its waste water from shower and sinks. They are technically still clean but used. Often times it is reused for flushing toilets and other use that require lower levels of sanitation.
@@neurofiedyamato8763 still commutated and treated dechlorinated grey and black water passing through a class approved STP cud be discharged overboard even as near as 3 Nautical miles
@@armaan069868 Ye definitely, I just meant it isn't because someone is taking a huge dump.
This is like Half As Interesting, but for boats and I love it
@@freakout247 I'm sorry, didn't realize the comment was referencing another CZcams channel.
HAI does more general interest videos. Most of the aviation stuff is on Wendover Productions.
Indeed
and actually interesting, with 75% less stock footage and 80% less filler jokes.
Yeah, only with a better quality and MUCH better quality of information
I spent most of my last contract onboard sitting on oasis of the seas in the bahamas. It was crazy doing all the transfering. We started working towards cold layup
Everyone asks "where have all the cruise ships gone?", no one asks "how are all the cruise ships?"
*sad ship noises*
I was suppose to go on a cruise on the 21st of september.. but it was cancelled.. I absolute hate covid 19.
This is so sad can we Hit 50 likes
The mechanics ask that!
Ships that are sold for scrap: **Happy And Sad Ship Noises**
I really really enjoyed watching those mini boats move around on the maps.
C. Caner Telimenli yep, my exact thoughts too. That was nice.
This is very interesting! I live on a coastal Canadian town, and cruise ships were a huge part of our scenery, last year we had almost 30 at one time! So it's nice to hear where our seafaring friends went. Thanks!
I miss them a lot here in Dartmouth. I live right by the water I used to see them on my way to work
@@CJ-eh9pg Agreed, and it's good for the economy too... hopefully by 2022...
A Bond villain, operating through numerous shell companies, has bought them all and assembled them at his island base. To what purpose, no one knows.

WE WILL REMAIN FREE!
@@sharronkelly115
Free to do what, exactly? Free to not wear facemasks so that you can wipe yourselves out?
Free to think that an utterly failed businessman will somehow bring prosperity back to the US?
Free to hope that the hundreds of millions of dollars that Trump owes to god knows who doesn't compromise the interests of your country?
Free in the hope that you will not lose another 200,000 people to his totally incompetent handling of the virus?
This kind of freedom isn't free, if you haven't already figured out how many of your fellow countrymen have given their lives for the lies this cretin has spewed on a daily basis. If he does win by some miracle, just stay on your side of the border, we don't need stupid idiots coming to Canada.
@@JB-yb4wn Turn off the CNN my friend.
We've had ten here in Barbados since march. I think one or two have left now, but we were one of the few places that allowed them to resupply and to let crew transit to the airport for repatriation flights. I can see some from my house, and I felt so bad for the crew who were just stuck on them for months
I would love to see a video on how self-righting lifeboats work.
Cheers Mike. That's a great idea, I'll add it to my list of topic ideas
I actually bought an old lifeboat am in the process of turning it into a home from home lol
Mike Freudenberg I would love for that!
Have some in Los Angeles. I’ve been Servicing them at anchor. For provisions and ships spares on my supply boat
Here in Netherlands I’m chief mate on a supply vessel. They go inside port of Rotterdam if it a emergency.
But be provide pallets of provision en spare parts for them so they cost are low.
This was the answer to a question I had indeed been asking myself, thanks!
In the UK i live in weymouth a small town and up to 9 of these ships have been off the coast simultaneously its one hell of a sight to behold
Hell of an eyesore I imagine
Great calm, indepth video as always!
I have a video idea for you: I recently saw a jet skiier almost getting pulled under a cargo ship when he got too close.
Learning about the dangers of big vessels would be interesting. (eg. The last third of a ship and its low pressure wake and airated water behind the screw).
I flinched when you mentioned the Diamond Princess. Great video though!
Thanks Priyanshi
Like the variety of scenarios, situations coverd ... great efforts thank you
Another fabulous episode. Thanks for the time it take to put one of these together!
An interesting answer to a question I'd never thought of :)
Great video! Informative and well produced, as always.
National Geographic: "The Cruise ships and their strange behaviour."
Thanks for the info, the music made me very sad though.
As always interesting content and looking forward to sharing with some of my friends.
cruise ships: (n) (plural) : 1) grim reapers of the seas, typically disguised in white 2) floating sea coffins waiting patiently for their next mass harvest of souls. 3) native habitat of bipedal jackals predating withered cougars.
Yesterday I saw two anchored cruise ships in Souda bay, Crete. Quite a sight!
Keep up the good work man, appreciate the informative videos!
Very nice vid, informative and yet unbiased. Thanks for this, gives me a bit of comfort knowing the situation
Glad they are ok ...great blog thank you for sharing
I just finished reading the article on your website on whether or not lifeboats are unsinkable, while listening to this video, and I feel the need to say I can't thank you enough for your efforts on this channel and towards teaching maritime education.
Yay!!! You uploaded!!! Dude I always eagerly await your videos :) cheers dude!
Thanx mate. Didn’t know I was interested in this topic:)
Very informative, take care and stay connected
i remember going to the beach like a month ago in holland and i saw all these big ships just sitting there all day and i wondered what they were doing there, and now i finally understand why!
Very interesting video. Could you please do one or two on the start up and shut down of vessels like these. I'd be very interested to know what it takes for a cruise ship or cargo/tanker vessel to go from "cold and dark" to ready to put to sea
WOW AMAZING VIDEO VERY EDUCATIONAL
I remember going down to Cornwall and looking out and seeing all of the cruise ships along the coast it was an amazing sight
Thanks for the video!
The USN’s Mothball Fleet is a great example of “cold layup”…..some ships have sat idle for 40 years and been successfully reactivated.
Thank you quite interesting. Not what I expected, interesting info
There was a cruise ship laying up in Eastport Maine just a few miles from my house, we would drive out to see it....I had been on cruises before all the new ships had been built....it was a huge thing looking majestic at the dock.
I live in Southampton and at the start of lockdown in March April time there were around 6 ships sat in the dock that never left. They used to blow their horns for the clap for the nhs every week and what a sound that was it could be heard all over the city
I was anchored off Tampa, Florida for 3 months with 900+ crew in board. Quarantined in our rooms for about 2 of those months. Meals left outside our door and daily temperature checks where our only human contact for a while. After that got transferred to Celebrity Reflection and we were allowed out - felt weird to socialise again! Thankfully home in the UK now waiting for them to start up again, but yeah, very weird experience!
Quite illustrative..... thank you
There are a ton of them here in my city (Santos, Brazil). It’s the largest port in Latin America, so they stay close to the city and occasionally come by to fuel up.
I can see three from my house right now including the qm2 pretty good view
I'd love to see photos of these clusters of cruise ships just hanging around.

This is from a while back. We had 4 in the bay until recently.
Was anchored outside of Cape Canaveral a few months ago, and even outside of a smaller cruise port there were at least half a dozen at Anchor
Good to see you back. Try & not leave it so long, if you can! Your videos are so informative, cheers.
Cheers Simon. I'm aiming for fortnightly again, but if it takes longer then I'd rather skip one than release a poor quality video
Yay, a nother video!!!
Thanks for the video
Haha there are 2 sister ships in my local cargo port, Island sky and Hebridean sky. Great video!🍻
Since my last sailing on 6th-12 march i have been stuck on furlough. i just wanna go back to work
i miss my boat
Good content bro👍
I purposely click on the ads to support the channel ❤
They were running boat trips out to the cruise ship off the coast of Dorset, i got some decent pics
Quality information!
cyprus also had a bunch sitting in limassol bay, i was there in 2021 and there where ~7
I live in Pasay City near Manila bay, and I always look at them. almost everyday.
Would be interesting to hear about how the cruise industry has dealt with the costs of these lay-ups.
In aviation, the industry is based on a continuous operation model, a lot of costs derive from scheduled checks, minimum crew hours, and regular training, which are legally required to keep the certifications of the aircraft and crew. The assumption was that there will always be business to pay for those safety requirements; without business, passenger airlines mostly pay for these with cash.
I think the answer is flag in the Bahamas.
Imagine if American Airlines could say, "F off FAA, we're Ugandan."
Qm2 and a few others are in the bay at teignmouth in Devon. Great sight for a small little town
Very interesting video 👍 .
I grew up in a port city and some of my friends worked for companies that supplied the large ships that anchored outside the port. In other words the big ships that stay out of the port while waiting, small supplier boats deliver their food, crew etc needs.
I've been in Bournemouth in August, from the Beach, you could see 5 ships anchored
So I live in Coronado/San Diego California.
There are two just hanging out off the coast of San Diego
I can see 8 now from my window on Weymouth beach front , ‘‘tis an impressive sight , especially at night when there lit up.
they are here in off the south devon coast at teignmouth. we have the queen mary 2, ventura, azura, and 3 others at the moment , they keep coming and going
Subscriber from The Bahamas here! We're currently having an environmental study done regarding the cruise ships anchored in our waters for an extended period. Keep up the good work! 🇧🇸
It will be fascinating to see how that study turns out
0:23 IVE BEEN ON THAT its called the Marrlea discovery 2 now
Subscribed🙌🙌🙌 love your videos 👌
Ahh I’ve seen those cruise ships anchored just of the cost of Bournemouth earlier this week. When I first saw them I thought they were heading for Poole Harbour then realised they weren’t moving and correctly guessed they were just there for storage.
I saw some Disney Ships off the cost of Florida near Melbourne, I have photos of it somewhere.
Over here at The Hague, The Netherlands, there are a lot laid up just a couple of miles from the shore. Ten years ago it where mostly cargo- and transport ships ie. Lifts hips.
But atm mostly cruise liners.
Check AIS for more info.
Best channel amazingly taught
Great video as usual!
Cheers Max
When we were in the port of Scheveningen, near the Hague, Netherlands, with our small yacht, we went to the supermarket next to the quay and we saw a group of Filippino-looking guys with "Nieuw-Staatendam" jackets on who came to shore with their big lifeboat to do some shopping.
Also, commercial sailing might be at an all time low, but there were more small yachts than ever, because almost no one went abroad or wanted to stay at a busy camping place
I’ve been on My Vessel Tracker a lot lately and I must admit there has been a lot of cruise ships across the south coast.
Onboard a princess ship now, were at anchor near Rotterdam. Weird situation having no passengers onboard. Also still have a few crew members who still have not gone home yet waiting for flights.
Such a good video.
Thanks Julian
Idk why the way you show all the ships as little arrows in clusters moving around is so funny to me 😆
I'm in Weymouth now and it's cool to see them all off the coast in the bay!
I've been working at Southampton docks and over the last 3weeks ive seen at least 12 different cruise ships they come and go every other day
I feel like this would be a great video to revisit as a collaboration with Wendover Productions.
Had alot here just off Barbados too
Good report! Here at Disney, we have two new ships midway of construction. Not sure yet how this will work out!
Cruising will never be what it used to be, only a fraction will come back.
cruzan mongoose
Totally agree with you.
Commenter2 well at the moment even the air industry is screwed so till then cruising is more screwed
A lot of them park near harbours, not in them, near them. We live near the beach and it's often to see random ships parking in the middle of the ocean about a 1km or 2 from the harbour for days, sometimes weeks on end.
3 days ago ı passed beyond singapore and saw many of them at east side on anchorage..
Ayyyyyyyy a new vid
I would love to see a pic of them all anchored together. I would be like looking at a floating city.
Lucky enough to have QM2, Azura, Ventura and Arcadia parked outside my window. Been a real treat for a small port town in SW England!
TheWikiGuy
I would think the people on board would disagree about it being "a real treat". Cheers from the Divided States of America !
@@dr.jamesolack8504 oh I don't know, SW England has its charms. At least they don't need to deal with demanding cruise passengers for a while. Besides, the ships are taken out to sea and come into port regularly to cycle crew and supplies, I'm sure its not that bad - just a little dull.
