[QUOTE]Originally posted by TBlack: [QB] Idat, I doubt that cruise ships have SONAR. It would have been a question of relying on local charts. Furthermore, from what I've read on this incident. The cruise lines have prescribed routes that are entered into the electronic navigation instruments of their ships. If the ship deviates from the entered path, alarm bells go off. So, that means the captain had to shut off the tracking device to permit him to do the "fly-by" of the island without tripping the alarm. But that also means he had no electronic navigation aid to show him where he was. [/QB][/QUOTE]
