Norwegian Joy

If you watched the local news today, the NCL Joy came into Vancouver.  They said it was the largest ship to enter Vancouver harbour with only five feet at low tide between the ship and the Lions Gate Bridge.  As of today it is, but that record will be broken next month:

The Norwegian Joy is 167,725 gross tons, 3,804 passengers, 1,094 feet

Ovation of the Seas is 168,666 gross tons, 4,190 passengers. 1,142 feet

Vancouver is missing out on these large ships.  Our port is awesome to sail into as you dock right downtown at a fabulous cruise terminal.  We need to look at having another port that will allow these larger ships to come weekly.   Seattle has two ports and Paris and Rome ports are far from the cities.
