That's an interesting article, and great pictures.

I read something recently that seemed to imply that it was better for the ships to move around than to stay anchored.

But with that said, I wonder if there is some sort of "cruise ship boneyard" where cruise lines can park their unused ships.

It's hard to be that large and stay anchored. The anchors drag and the current pushes you around. You tend to move and drift. It's easier to be under your own power, even if you're just idling and moving a little bit.

I'd never thought of the fact that there really isn't enough home port berths for all these ships.
