Sea Princess ahead of schedule on world cruise

Just happened to look at the marine traffic site, and it looks like the Sea Princess will be getting in around five hours early...passed Sandy Hook already...:confused:

About to go under the Verrazzano Bridge

Looks like quite a few of her passenger's up late for the sail in....

Pier 88, Berth 2....almost six hours early...

Later she'll be joined by the Oceania Insignia on its turnaround. The Sea Princess is on a world cruise, doesn't leave until Wednesday.

Wondering whether there was a medical emergency or weather-related reason for arriving early. Every hour at the dock costs $00,000’s so a ship doesn’t usually arrive that early unless it’s a necessity.

No weather issues. Could have been an urgent medical case...happens occasionally....

Bob are you going down to view the Sea Princess in person?

It only goes to NY once a year now.

It could be simply a tide/current issue. At certain combinations of state of tide and current, the turn into the slipway at the Manhattan terminal is very difficult. Their choices could have been get in 6 hours early, or 4-6 hours late. Sounds like they were scheduled right at the wrong time for the tides.

I was fortunate enough to have a lunch and a tour of her, on her last visit, so won't be going...

The Oceania Insignia didn't seem to have any problem...she came in around 0700...:confused:
