ibcnusoon Posted January 3, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Has the snow ever been this bad on your cruise? This is the Queen Mary 2 who needed tug assistance last night coming into New York Harbor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare shof515 Posted January 3, 2014 #3 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I love that picture. i wish cruise ship had a snow feature to make the deck look like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruizinisthebest Posted January 3, 2014 #4 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Not only is there a foot of snow in NY but it's freezing cold up here! For as much as I love cruising, I'm fine sitting this one out at home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmountainman Posted January 3, 2014 #5 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I'm here in Jersey and the family sails tomorrow on the Splendor! We haven't seen the oldest daughter in three years so we don't care a bit about the weather. Besides, we'll be alot warmer than anybody else at home.

MEOWSMURPHY Posted January 3, 2014 #6 Share Posted January 3, 2014 The caption on this picture should read something like "My Caribbean vacation thanks to Global Warming" :D That aside it's a great pic and not one many of us have or will ever see..

Cher222 Posted January 3, 2014 #9 Share Posted January 3, 2014 We are sailing on the Splendor out of NY in the morning. I would imagine that they stayed south enough to avoid the snow! That's a great picture!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfadj Posted January 3, 2014 #10 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Very nice but when we cruise in the winter we like to leave from Florida so we have a full 7 days of warmth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rafinmd Posted January 3, 2014 #11 Share Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) a snowy day on the ship is better then a snowy day on land! I agree. Last year I sailed Enchantment OTS in January from Baltimore and Pride from Baltimore. On EOS we had a day like the one pictured but on both ships I enjoyed the covered pool decks the first and last day. To me it sure beats sitting in an airport wondering if my plane will be cancelled. BTW, QM2 was not due in NY until this morning. They must have applied a little of her now rarely used speed to beat the storm to port. 4merlurker's Enchantment photo was from March. Mine is from late January. Roy Edited January 3, 2014 by rafinmd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LWiening Posted January 3, 2014 #12 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Thank you for the picture but being from Chicago I would rather see sunshine on the deck then snow. That is why we head South to sail and not North in the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not willing to lose my first day to a foot of snow. Plus I would think going from frigid weather to hot island weather might make you sick. But hey, grab a shovel and enjoy your cruise!:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibcnusoon Posted January 4, 2014 Author #21 Share Posted January 4, 2014 In the Mighty Queen Mary 2's defense, here's a story about her from Cruise Critic: Winter Storm 'Hercules' Delays Cunard Cruise Ship Queen Mary 2 (QM2) (12:52 p.m. EST) -- A massive winter storm, which dumped anywhere from 3 to 21 inches of snow on states throughout the Northeast isn't just delaying air traffic: At least one cruise ship, Queen Mary 2, which was slated to turn around in New York City today, will be delayed by several hours. "For all guests boarding Queen Mary 2 in New York today, we can confirm that she will not depart before midnight, as a result of the weather," Cunard Line tweeted. According to Cunard spokeswoman Jackie Chase, the delay is intended to accommodate late-arriving passengers. Additionally, the line's customer service team is actively responding to and working with passengers whose flights have been delayed. Boarding is not delayed and passengers may board this afternoon as the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal is up and running and accessible by road. Queen Mary 2 arrived last night into New York City, several hours ahead of schedule in order to avoid the worst part of the storm. The ship was scheduled to depart at 5 p.m. today for a six-night transatlantic sailing to Southampton/London. http://www.cruisecritic.com/news/news.cfm?ID=5672 ____ last nights tweet: PTZtv @PTZtv #QUEENMARY2 is inbound into #NYHarbor with tug assist due to bad #weather.

We got a chance to move out of a similar climate a few years ago and jumped on it. I'm hoping you are a person who enjoys the winter season. Hope you have a great cruise on the Victory! You deserve some warmth and sunshine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
