Desert Cruisers Posted January 25, 2020 #1 Share Posted January 25, 2020 We will be on Insignia's September transatlantic. The ship arrives in NY-Manhattan on September 25th with disembarkation the next morning. The itinerary on the Oceania website is showing the the first day - September 25th - as a tender port. Can this possibly be correct? If so, might it dock overnight so disembarkation is a whole lot easier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No place in the Hudson River to anchor and nowhere for a tender to tie up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozfoz Posted January 25, 2020 #3 Share Posted January 25, 2020 If it is true, I will gladly drive the. hour and a half to see it happen. Seriously though, as was stated, no realistic place, at least to date, for this to safely happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mura Posted January 25, 2020 #4 Share Posted January 25, 2020 We've sailed into Manhattan several times (both on "R" and "O" ships) and never EVER tendered. Even the QE2 docked! Mura 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Noxequifans Posted January 25, 2020 #5 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Suggest checking with your travel agent or calling O if you booked directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I chuckle when I read this, Mura, because despite the small fortune which Cunard put into all that "Greatest Ship in the World" publicity; it might surprise you to learn that Marina and Riviera were larger at their launch than QE2. 66084 tons versus 65,863 tons. Looking back, we were all brainwashed.😎 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mura Posted January 26, 2020 #8 Share Posted January 26, 2020 No, I meant the QE2 -- we did two cruises on her that ended up in NYC. However, I wasn't thinking of tonnage -- I was thinking of passenger capacity (which I recall was 1750 rather than 1250 or 684) and length of the ship. Tonnage is one of those figures that never makes any sense to me so I don't think about it! Mura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted January 26, 2020 #9 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I suspect that OP is going by what is on the Itinerary which does have anchoring in NYC https://www.oceaniacruises.com/transatlantic-cruises/london-to-new-york-INS200911/?sr=%2Fcruise-finder%2F%23sailDates%3D2020|09%23destinations%3Dtransoceanic Maybe someone at Oceania got it wrong or the port of NY did The port schedule is not out yet online for 2020 to know for sure but it would be odd to anchor in Manhattan https://www.nycruise.com/schedule/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mura Posted January 26, 2020 #10 Share Posted January 26, 2020 It definitely shows the anchor on the itinerary. Thanks for the link, Lyn. I can't envision even an "R" ship parked out in the middle of the Hudson River blocking all the usual water traffic. Of course, I'm assuming they'd be in the middle of the river ... I go along with the "error" theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Noxequifans Posted January 27, 2020 #11 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Some ships anchor in the lower harbor. Doubt it would be a short trip to a pier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
