Yep 10 points.

It is a cruiseship. She was the second biggest in the world. (Now 3rd)

100,000hp, made the 140,000 gross ton ship do 27 knots ahead, 17 knots astern or 5 knots sideways. That and 5000 people onboard!

She actually turned in less than 1000m for an emergency, but would have made a hell of a mess. : Tried to turn at no more than 5 degrees per minute at high speed.

Given that it would use a great deal of fuel, did it travel at "high speed" very often?

No usually we ran only on two of the six engines. That would give
us 14 knots, and use about 4600 Litres an hour

shame the servo wouldn't take the 4c litre off with a docket

How do you get to 'drive' one of those? Cruise ship driving instructors are not very common!

That is awesome. The boat and the big cat are both very impressive.

So what is a life at sea like? Why did you stop after three years? I suspect the pay would have been good.
