Astoria is a neat place to visit. It does not get many ships so the entire comes come out for it. Open air public market on cruise ship day. A local theatre comes on the ship and does a performance. The local high school band is at the dock welcoming the ship into port.

The pilot that brings the ship into port actually repels off a helicopter to get onto the ship. Apparently this is common practice at that port for ships that require pilots due to the very rough water at entrance into the river.
