Thank you for the replies.  I am guessing I may need to head to the entrance to the harbor closer to 5:30am to watch the QM2 arrive.

As of 6PM on Board...

 

Captain Hall announced that QM2 will not be calling on Newport Rhode Island due to weather conditions and Operational considerations relayed to Tender Operations.

 

We will remain At Sea.

 

He regrets this announcement and ask all to understand the safety factors to the QM2, Passengers and Crew.

Wow. Thanks for this update.  I was really looking forward to the QM2’s arrival here in Newport. But also I am a bit confused as the wind tomorrow will be about 2mph in the morning going up to 11 mph. Overcast, then sunny. About 80F.

You guys are on the Voyage of the Damned!  It’s warm and still in southern New England now. There has to be something more than weather.

Unfortunately we will be at sea till we aim for NY along the LI coast. Be interesting to watch our movement.

How were the Boston fireworks? Did weather allow a show?

Ok but low ceiling and smoke. No wind to clear smoke.

 

Showed Boston's Pop on LED Screen in RCT. Very very crowded and some walked away.

@NE John We decided to try to watch the concert from our room but the stream was really badly choppy so we gave up. We could see the very tops of the fireworks from several areas. But we had brought Independence Day and watched half of it in our suite with the remainder of wine from dinner.

Boy has it been a rough time onboard the QM2 since the Halifax medical emergency detour last Thursday!  I feel bad for the first time Cunard cruisers on your cruise and hope they understand that the last week is not a normal Cunard voyage experience. There are travel problems everywhere these days. 
Have a good last few days, drink some nice wine, and I hope to travel together one day.

John,

Thank you for all the by lines you extended to me during your trip

 

U were right about last Friday while on board.

 

We do have to connect up. Pleasure..

I see you’ve now stopped. 
Did Captain Hashmi hand over to Captain Hall in NY?

One of my comfort films. Hope you enjoyed your day.

Having been lucky enough to attend a 4th July Boston Pops evening, I know how special it is so such a shame for the weather to have played awkward and the streaming to have been so choppy.

Yes. There was a Captain transfer. 

[techteach]

As I look out the window we don’t appear to be moving at all. Where are we @exlondoner?

[TheOldBear]

Looking at marine traffic, position looks to be about 45 miles south of Newport, just south of the traffic separation lanes paralleling Long Island's south shore. Nearest land is 'Block Island'

[Host Hattie]

Channel 45 should show your current position.

[Host Hattie]

There are 2 screens with weather information and 3 or 4 maps.

In RCT streaming on LED screen was prefect.

Captain Andrew Hall, we had cocktails with him since missed him in September.

[BklynBoy8]

Must admit like this better than Newport
