Flacruiser99 reacted to MicroBeta in Carnival ships collide, almost hit Oasis
That's true. The captain always has command of his ship...even when the Pilot is on board. The Pilot is only responsible for navigation...a responsibility that the captain can relieve the Pilot of. At least that's how it works in the US. I'm not sure how those laws work internationally.

Flacruiser99 reacted to PG Cruiser in Who would ever let go of your child, even if there was no glass there?
That "wall of glass with one open window in the kid's play area" has been on the Freedom of the Seas since its maiden voyage in 2006. In all those 13 years, we have heard of NO ONE falling off that window... UNTIL a color blind grandfather put his 18-month old granddaughter on the railing to "bang the glass like she does at hockey games".

Flacruiser99 reacted to twangster in Miami is Oasis capable because of... The Panama Canal
The original Oasis and Allure had an air draft of 72m under normal operating conditions but that shrunk to 62.5m when they lowered the stacks and took on ballast water. That's a mere 205'. Both Oasis and Allure had to transit under the Great Belt bridge to reach the open sea when they were built and they took on ballast water and lowered their stacks to make that happen.
The wikipedia spec for the Bridge of the Americas is 201'. Allowing for safety margins the Panamax standard is 190' maximum air draft.
So how did the Bliss get under?
As it turns out the Pacific side of the canal is more tidal than the Atlantic side. By leveraging tides there is an exception for ships up to... 62.5m at low tide.
So in theory the Oasis class could get under the Bridge of The Americas.
Once the Panama Canal was expanded the neo-panamax dimensions for ships is 51.5m of beam or ~168'. At the waterline Oasis is 47m (154') but... she is wider above the water line maxing out at 60.5m (198'). The impact of width was very clear as we passed through the locks because there are structures along the canals on each side. It's not clear if the neo-panamax standard is at the water line or maximum beam but it is known that Oasis class is not considered neo-panamax making her "unattractive" to the Panama Canal.
