I have this mental picture of a pilot, his wife and umpteen children finally ready on the pier for their long awaited Caribbean cruise, when over the PA system they are informed of a delay. More information to follow.
Finally after no more information, the ship berths, and they are informed that the reason for the delay was late arriving ship.
The pilot will of course take it in his stride, not worrying about tech issues which might have have caused the delay, or any other reasons that could cause unpleasantness during the trip. Maybe they needed those three hours to remove the odd norovirus?
Just saying.
