three day to nowhere route?

[winegum55]

Where does the ship go for 3 days? Does it head south to warmer weather?

[Ourusualbeach]

Before it got to really warm weather it would be time to turn around and head back.

[boscobeans]

? Maybe into or with the prevailing winds for a smoother ride?

Is that not why they call It "nowhere":D. Looks like a big ocean out there, either live or on your digital balcony. EBJOY!!

Their main goals are:

1. get outside the 12 mile limit so they can open the casino and shops

2. don't burn too much fuel

 

Hopefully they will head south. I'm on the 3 day nowhere cruise.

Traditionally from Florida they hit 12 miles then do circles. Perhaps it will be an out and back route in a southern direction but that still won't get far and could burn more fuel.

On a 3 day cruise i would say they go to around south carolina than turn around. That what happens with 2 days cruises out of NY last year on NCL breakaway .

Tongue in cheek

I do not think they are going to Nowhere

 

Nowhere is an unincorporated community in Caddo County, Oklahoma, United States. Nowhere is located at the southeast end of Fort Cobb Reservoir 5.5 miles (8.9 km) south-southwest of Albert and 14 miles (23 km) northwest of Anadarko.[1]

They tend to maintain the minimum speed required for the stabilizers to be effective (10-15 knots, depending on the ship and stabilizer design) and travel in a large circle unless they need to avoid bad weather.

[jaydog240011]

They will do circles down south but from NY they will go south 4 warm weather in the fall winter i been on 10 1-2 night cruise from ny .

We were on the Breakaway in January for a 2 nighter and they got down to DelMarVa Peninsula.

 

I will be on QotS on Nov 21 for 2 nights. Since it departs at 8pm (!!) I don't think it can go very far. Hopefully the three nighter can get to VA/NC.

So instead of Nowhere it is going to Neverland?

As long as they head out into the Gulf Stream, it will be warmer than it would back in New York. Maybe not a lot, but probably 10 degrees warmer.

I am sure that they will head Southeast out into the stream

thanks to all, wherever it goes, it beats being on land.

Thank you for teaching me something I did not know about the state where I was born.

We are also curious about the actual route, as we are on the 3 day cruise too!

[BaumD]

Let's assume they travel between 12 knots (13.8 mph) and 15 knots (17.3 mph) to keep things smooth and not burn too much fuel. We leave Tuesday at 8pm and return Friday at 5am (I know they say 6am, but ship usually returns earlier). That's 57 hours. If we assume an average speed of 15 mph, that's 855 miles, or 427.5 miles each way. This map shows the MAXIMUM distance we could travel if we don't go around in circles.

Also on the 3 day Sampler and don't really care where she's going, just excited to be sailing on Quantum.

 

Edit to say that Lloyd was the one that gave me Quantum fever.
