Emerald time change return to NY on November 4

[Alaska05]

We will be on the Emerald for a New England/Canada cruise departing NY on October 28, returning November 4.

 

Just received this notification regarding arrival time back in NY:

 

Please be advised that due to operational reasons, Emerald Princess will now arrive New York City at 7:00 AM on Saturday, November 4, 2023 rather than 6:00 AM as previously scheduled.

 

Is the Emerald experiencing any problems?  Not sure what to make of “due to operational reasons.”

 

Luckily it doesn’t affect our return flight since we don’t fly until 4:00

Operational reasons, this far out, generally means port reasons. 

They could have been informed of change in port schedule, staffing schedules, pilot schedule, etc . 

No, Emerald is not experiencing any engine issues or such, and certainly nothing that makes a 1 hour difference in arrival time more than a month in advance.

Could be a number of different reasons. The daylight savings time is effective at 0200 on Nov 5th.  Maybe port changes or scheduling.

Received the same E-mail for our Oct. 21-28 cruise on the Emerald Princess. Doesn't effect our flight either out of LGA. Hope it's the same for everyone else.

 

Cheers - Ken & Darlene

Could be something as simple as by arriving a little later Princess saves an hour's dockage fees.

Same for the cruise beginning Sept 23.
