??? Bruce can these monsters have shore power???
I expect that they have a dozen generators and they run them according to loads.
So on hook, I'd expect they run a few and get on with life.
Obvs no idea how quickly the main engines can be functional.
I guess their pods (they all have pods no?) are NOT electric as that would be a moot point in terms of difficulty in returning back to operation

Southampton Port 'on course' for cruise ship shore power first

There had been several in Weymouth Bay but whenever the wind got up they all cleared off to the channel presumably to get more sea room.
We sailed around them, the Cunards and Tui ships looked smart but the P&O looked rather scruffy. Every now and then a puff of black smoke would come from a funnel for a while then stop.
I heard that they typically had about a hundred crew on board.
