Of course they do, but when Istanbul is ALSO a home port guests will be flown in to Istanbul and as part of their package they fly in a day or two earlier and do their visits in the city and join the ship after. When Istanbul is a port of call instead of a home port which it has been for decades...

Just the opposite it is you who is insulting. I have been a cruise ship professional for some of my life and you are saying I don't know a thing about them. Why are you such a bad boy.

If you knew how I know about cruise ships you would be shutting up forever.

The problem is some people have a misconception about flying cars. At some point they will be as affordable as a ground taxi ride.

Good news if a pilot is small as flying cars do care about lightweight pilots.

I have lived in Istanbul all my life, except for some years I spent abroad. Good news if you feel stuck in traffic, flying cars are coming, its in 3D now but you know what happens when they are already in 3D.

I will not do your homework. It will bring in riches from foreign countries. It will be easy, a very good fit with our national forte which is construction. We do not want to run out of mega projects to make, we have already completed most of the ones we have started. There is a reason why even...

You are not up to date about the new building codes, every building is built to withstand earthquakes. You do not know about the transportation of the city, railroads/subways are pretty much everywhere. Calling Istanbul failed is an insult to humanity. There is no difficulty that we can not...

A home port is a port where ships pick up all their guests for the cruise not only a stop port. They arrive in Istanbul airport by plane and join the ship which is their hotel. Passing through the Bosphorus has the consequence of passing again for return, that makes two times. And you give the...

I don't have all that time and resources to list out all the benefits for you but you can do it yourself putting yourself in the shoes of the other side. There must be a reason why a government takes the hard path to do work instead of putting their legs up and sitting down and watching the...

Can you calculate everything, like a plague hitting pandemic levels or polar regions opens for ship traffic or a Canal parallel to Suez Canal to open. No, you can not calculate them. There is a certain level of risk to every plan. No pain no gain. Risk and profit are siblings, they are destined...

Cruise ships are neither Romanian nor Bulgarian or Russian. Currently there are very few cruise ships going into the Black See as they have to be on schedule at all times and the demand is not much for the Black Sea. But the future will change this. Probably some cruise companies will make...

Ola Joke Pro Its propulsion requires a high power consumption at all times, do they have a power source to support such high level of consumption? If it were wing-bourne after take off it could have a chance. A jetpack on electric, will probably fly for 5 minutes before it has to land. And...

You can't cause a big queue of ships because you want to regulate and charge for passage even when you change the Montreux Convention. You need to create enough capacity for ships to pass through without causing bottlenecks. Given the impending huge cruise ship business coming to Istanbul with...
