Norwegian Cruise Line's 965-foot, 91,000-ton 'Star' cruise ship never misses a step in her tightly choreographed weekly visit to Tampa. It is a dizzying 10-hour 'turnaround day' -- a lesson in efficiency that helps to explain how cruise lines can offer travelers the best value in vacations.
Just as the sun rises, the first tractor-trailer truck arrives at the pier. Deliveries will drag on for hours. And by the time restocking is complete, a total of 18 big rigs will have helped prepare this ship for its next weeklong sailing.
Back in 2012, Chris Chmura got a look behind the scenes as the Norwegian Star pulled into port, was refurbished and restocked, and sailed back out.
