I don't recall... does NCL or Celebrity typically dock first at King's Wharf? I know I've seen Celebrity leave first.

 

Was just wondering if having the Summit in its place poses any additional obstacles when docking.

I think most of the people on the pier are passengers waiting to get back on board. If it was me, I would be enjoying a cool "special" beverage somewhere and not fight all that...Anyone want to join?

We're on the GEM in 2012, less than a week after Sandy & sailed NY-Caribbean head-on into a Noreaster storm & blasted our way out of it - about 15 hours in near hurricane conditions with strong gale force wind, effective ship speed for 24.5 to 25+ kn as indicated on ships' live NAV Channel - that was a "fun" ride and we had a porthole on deck 4 that time. Up until then, we've previously sailed no faster than 23 kn but "normally" cruise a little slower - for fuel economy purposes and a smoother ride for most pax.

 

Oh, you were going that slow. ;) When we were on the Jewel sailing between Hurricane Sandy and the coast, we had Sandy pushing us to an effective 28 kn. We were booking, to get out of the heavy chop - and we broke through at just after 2AM the next morning.

Nothing wrong with the compensation offered although I am sure their will be plenty of negatives about this too! Just glad this was nothing more serious.

 

 

"Statement #3 on Norwegian Dawn

Miami - May 20, 2015 ---

On Wednesday, May 20, a thorough assessment of Norwegian Dawn was completed by Norwegian's technical operations team, an independent dive team, and DNVGL inspectors, representing the ship's classification society, while the ship was alongside in Heritage Wharf, Bermuda. The team confirmed the structural integrity of the ship and the technical issue which caused the steering malfunction was identified and corrected. The ship is expected to be cleared to depart Bermuda at 3pm today and resume sailing to Boston, and is expected to arrive on Friday as scheduled. Norwegian Dawn's next voyage will depart as scheduled on May 22.

 

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and greatly appreciate our guests' understanding. All guests sailing on the current voyage will receive a future cruise credit of 15% of their cruise fare to use towards a future Norwegian cruise"

As I thought, the steering issue had not been fixed until today.
