Wow, New Orleans so special, the Mississippi is so powerful, the oceans so blue, and Jamaica so beautiful.

I here watching from Jamaica and I work on the Port of Kingston😅 great video. Mississippi River is huge!

[@billwilliams5889]

I’ve always wondered what it would be like to be a passenger on a cargo ship and you’ve answered my question. This is the power of KZbin - allowing viewers to vicariously have real-time real-wold experiences !

[@WhatTheShip]

Awesome!!

[@HANZELVANDERLAAY]

@@WhatTheShip how do you book such a trip? Thanks t

[@JohnSagin-SimViDeLucis579]

Aww man, i am very disappointed you didnt do a room tour of accommodations and mess, even the bathrooms! I want to see all that stuff! Great video

[@andrewmeitner4818]

Hi, How do you find cargo ships that take passengers? Thanks

[@1320fastback]

I just went down the Mississippi on a Carnival cruise ship! What an experience!

[@petucker548]

Would have been good to show more ships life, dining, rec room, etc.

[@raypoole4676]

Absolutely. I didn't learn a thing. Internet availability, food, facilities, no go zones, costs? Other travellers on board?

[@naturalmystics-kd9vt]

Thank you for this video I am from Jamaica I went to New Orleans many times before 🇯🇲🇯🇲

[@islandboss876]

Big up Jamaica love barrels dem reach 😊🇯🇲🙏

[@Plusty07]

Did you know that the Kingston harbour is the seventh-largest natural harbor in the world, also It's the seventh deepest harbor in the world, and much of it is deep enough for large ships to dock close to shore.

[@Mistyno]

@@Plusty07 thank you for this information. The whiny poster of the video didn’t really give us any facts.

[@sharsasuke01]

This is so interesting.

[@nmccw3245]

Made the same trip on a cruise ship. Was surprised how long it takes to get from New Orleans to the gulf down the Mississippi.

[@DJShaunLouis]

Would have been great to see what the food was like on a cargo freighter

[@robertking5701]

My last tour in the Navy i was stationed at Naval Support Activity, New Orleans. People of the city arent very friendly. I had to carry a hand gun every where i went in town. That segment of the vedio where a pilot boat was coming out was actually where the base was. When you said the guy wouldn't give you a ride i was thinking it sounded just like the locals.

[@homerfantastic]

Yup, NOLA is A 3rd world sh*t hole

[@emilianogabriel9613]

I love Kingston Jamaica because it’s looklike old Philippines and people are very friendly way back 1987

[@Sagittariusjourney380]

How much did it cost for every thing??

[@nikobasso]

first time at N.Orly 1981 stay 55 days supermemorys!!!

[@mattnycm3]

Great video. I like your longer format videos. Maybe you can show what your job is onboard these vessels.

[@dougberdan3906]

I was wondering the same thing what do you do onboard?

[@snug40pip]

Do you have a great voice and a great eye for beauty. I would’ve loved to seen breakfast lunch and dinner as part of the cruising experience. I’ll standby for the next one. God bless love from Colorado USA.

[@GeeGee19]

Hello from Bogota Colombia. Its incredible how big yhose ships are. Cool videos

[@corpusbiker2991]

I may be wrong, but I think that Pilot's Station at the mouth of the Mississippi used to be a Coast Guard station..

[@kennethlamb2099]

Made it to the end. Very interesting

[@danielprice9997]

Very cool. How are you able to do this? Or is it your job? Thanks for the video.

[@WhatTheShip]

I did an IT job on this ship that took 5 days to complete.

very fun when you can traveling around large ships like that

Would have been nice if you had filmed them cutting anchor chain

very cool! living near Anchorage i would love to ride to Seattle but not going to happen due to restrictions.

At slower speeds in the engine room you can hear each cyclinder fire, at 14 knots we were running 60 rpm

It would be interesting to see a typical cargo manifest that shows what is in each container and what its destination will be.

[@ThirdCoastDrone]

Cargo is unknown unless hazardous and or extremely explosive

[@billwilliams5889]

@@ThirdCoastDrone I meant to ask you what kind of database and what kind of programming tools do you use for a container ship ?

[@ThirdCoastDrone]

@@billwilliams5889 the amount of onboard databases and server based applications is more extensive than you would suspect

[@876seafarer]

Welcome !

[@saxman01]

I'm wondering ... Do all container ships carry extra passengers traveling for pleasure? (I'd like to try it). How much does the shipping company charge for the passage?

[@WhatTheShip]

Not that I am aware, I was onboard doing some work.

[@scottw8311]

Great footage

[@WhatTheShip]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@billballard2019]

When you say the anchor was ‘stuck,’ do you mean it was fouled with something on the bottom?

[@WhatTheShip]

Unknown windkass couldn’t get it up, ship spent 18 hours trying.

[@billballard2019]

@@WhatTheShip, thanks. Does sound as if it was fouled. I was just curious.

[@junebugreally9925]

i was working the ship behind yall. How long does it take to reach the gulf?

[@WhatTheShip]

I think we hit the gulf in 5 hours, we’re doing 14 knots even at dead slow

[@stanleybest8833]

I wouldn't call your boat prison. It looks to be very well maintained.

[@Bripromo]

How did you book a trip like that?

[@thomasreyes2857]

From my understanding if you're just a shipmate or a cargo handler you're not supposed to be up in the bridge when it's in port. Only when the ship leaves port. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@blueocean2510]

What is your position on the ship?

[@amunderdog]

Have you seen the Houston SWATH pilot boats?

[@Zackwpilot]

Hey thanks for the video! How are you able to travel on these ships? Do you have a personal contact or use a service?

[@Dinngg0]

Thanks for the video! Question: how did you book this trip? Did you go through an agent?

I was doing some work onboard that required sailing with the ship.

If it’s on a CMA CGM ship you can track where the shipment is on their website.

Appreciate the video, especially, because I'm from Louisiana. I wish I could work on ship You seen prison, I see: NO RENT TO PAY or food to buy.

[@MarcelaR-dh1ok]

Check what the longshoremen are smoking

[@shattered115]

Prison? Really? You should travel in enlisted quarters on a Naval Vessel. You would be sharing that space and head with 10 other people. Even junior officers would be 4 to bunk room.

What is your job title bredren

Marine service engineer

[@TheBucktowncrazy]

You didn't show your river boat pilots on the deck. You probably had 3 different one's fron NOLA to pilot town in Venice. South Pass next. Fyi, all Riverboat Pilots are related. Rather your immediate famiky member must be a pilot. They make alot of $$$$$ Man, next time that ever happens in New Orleans Contact the New Orleans Habor Police dispatch and mention your issue. Ask for rank. Im surprised you were not able to enter the port off Tchoupitoulas St. either by the First Street Entrance, Jackson Ave or Napoleon Ave entrance. Or a few miles up river near State street. Just curious, what entrance did they bring you that was closed??

[@Bacon4Allah]

Hello. How did you find your trip? I have been trying to find a cargo ship cruise ever since the pandemic with no luck. Thanks!

Should have just came in through the southern border. They'll just let you right in and fly you to your town of choice on the house for you court date 3 years from now. Might need to replace your travel agent.. Crazy Jamaica has better immigration laws than the US.

[@WhatTheShip]

Yeah it was an amazingly difficult process to get off the ship to fly home the next day. Lots of paperwork proof of flight home etc

Somebody needs to work on that rust. That ship is covered, neglect and it becomes a cancer if left un attended. I, have worked that scene myself . I know.

That's a sailing ship. There's no time for chipping and painting.

Worked on one for a few days in the Bahamas. If you couldn’t clean it you painted it. The chipped layers were incredible. I threw away those clothes. No way they were coming back to any semblance of life again.

[@robertking5701]

@guybeingaguy I did my fare share of throwing away uniforms and coveralls whole in the Navy. Especially those days we prepped then laid nonskid down with a roller out of a 5 gallon can. I still have PTSD nightmares about that.

The Video was painful for my eys. The timing was very bad.

[@jeffgolden253]

So ... Let me understand. You just took a container ship from NoLa to Jamaica FOR THE FUN OF IT? No vacation on a Jamaica beach? You just turned around and went home. You put yourself in this position and then you complain that its like being in a prison? YOU PUT YOURSELF IN THAT PRISON! BTW ... Did you PAY for this trip? What does a container ship trip cost? What was the food like? Didn't you get to interact with any of the crew? (Where were they from?) Or were you in solitary confinement during your jail sentence?

I lost count on how many time you said, "Mississippi River in the first part of the video. I got tired of watching the Blue water after the 3 time you said that, 'How blue it is" Of all the many way cool tech stuff to show. All you did was pan the cam so fast over those area's. wtf..lol and here we go back up watching the darn blue again. Holy cow. What the Heck do you do on the vessel? Please let us know. For someone who has full access up on the bridge, and Eng control, you did not show much other than that darn Blue stuff outside. LMAO looking forward to your answers. If your a mariner you will know what my closing statement means. Fair seas CUOTO. 🤙👍 Oh I forgot. They made you Walk? and your in Jamaica WI? dam man F that port Po Po. LMAO yeh that sucked.
