Rare shof515 Posted February 9, 2013 #26 Share Posted February 9, 2013 If the ports lose power, will they still unload the ships? Having never cruised from the east coast, does the luggage come out on conveyor belts or is it just put into a warehouse? If the port loses power can they still load new passengers without their computers? Will the port even be open? The miracle is docking in the NY Manhattan terminal, there is no power outage in Manhattan. There is no conveyor belts, it is offloaded the ship and then stored in the terminal building to be picked up. Like most buildings in Manhattan, im pretty sure they might have generators and other things in the extreme event the building loses grid power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthlessBoss Posted February 9, 2013 #27 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Storm will be long gone by the time the ship comes in. The news just reported the storm is leaving NY now, so cleanup should be well on it's way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had no power and had their computers running on power from the boat. They literally stretched power cables across along with the network cable to link to the ships computers. It was clear they have some contingency plans in place. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
