@travelwithandiwhi: Most people don’t realize this… 🚢 Before a cruise ship can enter port, a local port pilot has to come aboard to guide the ship safely in. They know the harbor, currents, and channels like the back of their hand. Watching the pilot boat pull up and the captain climb aboard is always one of the coolest cruise moments. Have you ever seen a pilot board a ship before? 👀 Moments like this remind me why I love cruising and traveling with family. Life moves fast — make the memories while you can.” #cruiselife #cruisetok #cruiseaddict #carnivalcruise #portpilot
