    Really cool control room on that ship! A lot of control rooms today can let the engineers know where any balcony door was left open, water was left running, lights left on for too long, etc. They have alarms that can pin point the exact stateroom location to make sure they're not wasting energy and resources

If i could sail anywhere it would be a Alaska cruise in the summer in the area yall went on.

      BARBSTER360 It’s mainly due to cargo carrying capacity. Low capacity = boats, high cargo/passengers = ship. Maybe I need to get friendly with the captain next time for a tour of the engines 😄. Looking forward to the next video!

      @@BARBSTER360 I know this quite a while ago, but a boat is a small to mid-sized vessel, which has much lesser cargo carrying capability as compared to a ship. Ships are specifically made to carry cargo or passengers or boats, whereas boat is a generic term used for a variety of water crafts. Mainly boats are used for recreational purposes like fishing, water skiing, or ferrying people. Hope that helps!

      They were sailing The Sound, and you can hear the bow thrusters in the background, which indicates that the ship is turning. The Sound has many creeks, which the Rotterdam with her size can easily access. But in order to get back, the ship will either do a 360, 180 or thrust backwards.

      Phones never were 'PC's in your Pocket" where that phrase came from is actually Steve Jobs back in 04 he envisioned both phones and PC's working together where you can switch to either mode so if you want apps you go to phones if you want software you go to PC. The big companies didn't want it that way in 06 they decided phones because they can make more money thru subscriptions and all that crap. Microsoft first,Google and now Apple are all doing it and PC people do NOT like it. There is hardly any software now for PC and hasn't been for a long time though 10 years ago there were LOADS from companies that no longer exist.

      I assume you're referring to the charts showing the pH and chlorine content of the water.

The other figure on the graph is chlorine content measured in ppm.
