jollyjones Posted September 21, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Jose has trapped the Insignia in Manhattan (along with the Silver Whisper and Aida Diva) - anyone have any information about when they might get out? The NHC forecast shows Jose to be nearly stationary so it could be a while - I wonder what the cruise lines will do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridatravelersforlife Posted September 21, 2017 #2 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Jose has trapped the Insignia in Manhattan (along with the Silver Whisper and Aida Diva) - anyone have any information about when they might get out?The NHC forecast shows Jose to be nearly stationary so it could be a while - I wonder what the cruise lines will do? Just like they did for Harvey,the ships stay out of harms way. In the case of Jose it seems the ships in NYC are painted in a corner. Having experienced 75 knot winds and 36 ft seas in the Drake Passage on our Antarctic cruise, in 2010, I'd rather stay in port and go to a Broadway show.

Rare LHT28 Posted September 21, 2017 #3 Share Posted September 21, 2017 it could be worse you could be caught at sea in the storm ;) Maybe by Sunday it will be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepawa Posted September 21, 2017 #4 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I looks as if only Insignia and Aidadiva are still in New York http://www.portnywebcam.com/ Cheers, Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgh Posted September 21, 2017 #5 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Whisper sailed for Halifax at 9, Insignia rumoured to be staying put. Passage weather looks bearable hugging the coast... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkerella Posted September 21, 2017 #6 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Looks like they will be leaving today going to Boston and skipping Newport. I can't tell but it may have come into New York a day late? I am on the next cruise coming back from Montreal so hopefully there are no other hurricanes coming that could mess up the next itinerary.

Sharkerella Posted September 21, 2017 #7 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Looks like they are on course after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They actually returned to NYC a a day and a half early. We were docked two nights prior to disembarkation yesterday. We experienced no storm effects. Everyone agreed it was prudent to take shelter in NYC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mura Posted September 21, 2017 #9 Share Posted September 21, 2017 There are worse places ... at least passengers have LOTS of choices about what to do while "stuck in port"! Mura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classiccruiser777 Posted September 22, 2017 #10 Share Posted September 22, 2017 There are worse places ... at least passengers have LOTS of choices about what to do while "stuck in port"! Can be far cheaper on O than staying in a hotel and dining out, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mura Posted September 22, 2017 #11 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Exactly. Plus you're already midtown, albeit very far west! That's why they have cabs and uber here ... Even as a NYC resident I wouldn't object to that kind of unexpected port of call! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Noxequifans Posted September 22, 2017 #12 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Would guess that the vast majority of those on board managed to stay busy here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
