Ncl escape 4/22 no check in until 12PM.

Just got a text and two phone calls telling us that check in will not start until 12PM. The ship was supposed to be arriving empty so why would they delay check in until 12PM? I thought we would be getting on early!

They have been going full speed. My guess is currents are delaying just a bit. Don’t worry!

Everyone is still going to show up early regardless

Perhaps an unexpected health or USCG inspection? Who knows?

Right now, the Escape is off the coast of North Carolina approaching Virginia doing about 20 knots

Earlier she was doing about 22-24 knots, the ship did slow down for some random reason.

Running into a weather front, it seemed ... off the eastern shore of MD, near Ocean City, with head wind now, doing about 20 knots. It doesn't look like they will get into NYC till 10 am or latet.

Wind will shift as they cross into NJ and catch a tailwind from the stern / AFT instead - could be helpful with a little speed ... from rough calculations, the Escape won't arrive any earlier than 9 or 10 AM in the morning, from the AIS tracking data given.

Probably going through a security clearance of some kind or inspections. This is likely to happen from time to time, especially considering they are just arriving in NYC>

Just passed Atlantic City in New Jersey, still about 2 hours out. almost there

The good news is the ship is dead heading (no passengers). Therefore, embarkation can start shortly after the ship docks. Welcome to New York Escape. Currently just east of Sandy Hook. Will approach Ambrose tower shortly.

Watching on PTZ NY Harbor Web Cam. Just passed under the Verrazano Bridge. Should be at dock in less than 1 hour.

this is amazing!!!

Too bad the retired fireboat, John J Harvey is not out there to give her a proper water cannon salute....

Now passing Statue of Liberty. What a view from the port cam.

At this time they should be playing this on board on this glorious day...

the aft

I love the view from the ship's bridgecam better than the Breakaway's view....you can even see a sliver of the forward portion of the bridge at the left edge of the screen....

shof515...Thank you for posting the pictures.

The Escape is just coming into view on the Port New York webcam and this cam will show the docking at the PST. Should be tying up about 11:45-12:00.

You can also get a nice (wide) view of her now on the SOL cam...
