Not sure if this is at all useful/interesting information, but I was a photographer on a cruise ship 5-6 weeks ago and happened to be in/on/at (?) the bridge as we were approaching to dock after a 10-night trip. There were two pilots that had boarded the ship some way out and were with the captain and another crew member at all times. The senior pilot gave constant instructions/advice but at no point did they ever touch controls. The captain in this case was very deferential but I'm not sure if that would be common in the situation or because he was introverted or that he was less familiar with that port.
