What you can watch here
Open the port in VesselFlow and you get its live board: the berthed and anchored list (who's in the port right now), the arrivals list (ships whose AIS destination is GRPIR, with ETAs), and the surrounding map of cargo ships, tankers, ferries and cruise ships, color-coded by type. Tap any vessel for its course, speed, voyage and recent track. The basics are in how to track a ship, and what is AIS explains where the data comes from. Those arrivals are what crews broadcast over AIS, so treat them as expected times rather than a published arrival or departure schedule. If you are following a shipping container rather than a ship, note that AIS tracks the vessel, not the box. The guide to tracking cargo ships explains how to bridge the two using the vessel name on your bill of lading. For cruise calls specifically, the Passenger filter narrows the map to cruise ships and ferries, so you can see which are alongside today and which are due. For following one ship by name, see how to track a cruise ship.
