Allure of the Seas pulling Away from Dock

Watching the Prop wash as the Boat moves away from the dock!

[@tradewinds-wb4kn]

Thank you for being as geeky as the rest of us. That was AWESOME!!!

[@mattyturbo1]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@captjim11]

As a Captain I still like to watch this. Cruise ships especially those built in last decade have some amazingly powerful thrusters that move an insane amount of water.

[@natureenthusiast660]

Hi captain, how much you earn?

[@joeyseyboltjr8628]

It is for sure a crazy thing to see and I thought the prop wash was big on the boats I work on

No more tug boats, I had not been in a cruise in 20 years and took one 2 weeks ago. I was amazed at the technology of the pods!!! Great video

The Independance of the seas sounding it's horn at the same time as Allure of the seas started moving. Perfect timing!

My favorite part of day one. Thank you for that.

[@mattyturbo1]

You are welcome!

The main propulsion units on the cruise ship that is moving all that water are called Azi-Pods (Azimuth Pods).

[@samur.2890]

The Propellers are amazing 🤩

[@mattyturbo1]

We agree!

Sorry for the delayed response, but this is a funny comment!

@@matthewdemarinis9047 Thanks for posting this video.. Hopefully the world will get back to normal soon. We cruise every year and missed cruising this years.This provides a little fix till then.

[@ghostdude5767]

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing.

[@ElloImNoodle]

Azipods but cruises have been diesel electric for a while but there is still no need for tugs because of the stern and bow thrusters

[@alexlascu2136]

I imagine that's what it must have been like seeing Titanic depart Southampton on April 10 1912. It must have been amazing seeing a ship that size pull away

[@mattyturbo1]

It really was!

[@Ezio999Auditore]

Imagine being the federal reserve rubbing your hands as they depart.

The power of the azipod and the newest Disney ship called Disney Wish will have also the latest propulsion system

I love propellers.

[@Trains_n_stuff08]

Now let’s get some footage of the propeller in motion right next to it under water.

[@tradewinds-wb4kn]

None of the thrusters in motion, but I did run across this vid where the bow thrusters were out of the water on an abandoned 800ft freighter up on the Great Lakes. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJOYaqmvea17m5o

That is a cool video!
