Galveston Pilots boarding Royal Caribbean Allure of the Seas

[@Just_a_normal_guy11]

This is one is much easier then I saw some big container ship where harbor pilot has to climb latter up and that is in stormy weather. Respect to all harbor pilots.

I was on this inaugural voyage out of Galveston. So awesome!

[@stayfrostypatrick]

Finally somebody posts a pilot boarding a cruise ship. I've always wondered how they get on and now I know. Thank you for posting this. :D

[@87buicklesabre]

You're welcome! I've got alot of cruise ship footage from the pilot boat. I'll have to post em soon

[@rondadurhamtravel9253]

This is such a neat perspective!

[@Cruisetravelexplore]

Aw man thank you for posting this! So cool! They boarded so fast I had to rewind lol. Thanks Again awesome video!

[@87buicklesabre]

You're welcome! It's pretty exciting for Galveston to be getting an Oasis class ship st the brand new Royal Caribbean terminal at pier 10!

[@TheTylerShow]

Awesome video Trent! Glad to see you all finally got an Oasis class ship in Galveston. We had the Allure of the seas here last winter here in Canaveral, she is a neat vessel that is for sure!

I'm a cruise nut and have always see the small boat come at us in the early morning, always wandered how they did this.

[@87buicklesabre]

I always wonder what it's like being in the rooms parallel to our lights? Enlightening? 😎

[@shanepaul4377]

I go every year on a 7 day cruise. You should come. I take care of the expenses

[@Just_a_normal_guy11]

How far in deep see harbor pilot go to meet ship?

[@Powerful_Female]

There has to be a safer way. This is safer than many I’ve seen. It baffles me

[@iJMultiplication]

How early in the morning did this happen at?

[@87buicklesabre]

4AM ish

[@iJMultiplication]

@@87buicklesabre Wow. Thanks. No time for being groggy.

[@suwaneerichardson9742]

Why are they boarding?

[@Kiwi91663]

thank you... that is my question too....

[@87buicklesabre]

Cruise ships need a Pilot with local knowledge of the waterways and harbors to bring into port.

[@cynthiathomas404]

​@@87buicklesabreBig respect for Harbor Pilots can any ship come into port without a Harbor pilot?

[@Olbear040]

Cool as crap…
