CGT Posted September 24, 2005 #2 Share Posted September 24, 2005 I feel sorry for those passenges. "ORIANA welcomes you to a dump: Red Hook, Brooklyn. Enjoy!" I wonder why ORIANA was chosen to be abused first. QM2 will be there soon, while Carnival Line ships stay in Manhattan (as there is one today). Go figure.

guernseyguy Posted September 24, 2005 Author #3 Share Posted September 24, 2005 I think a berth was not available until 1pm on the westside piers today - 5 ships in - and as its mainly a transit stop, probably relatively easy to handle. It will be interesting watching the sail away - looks like Oriana is going to head straight out to sea - none of this 'around Governors Island for a view of Lower Manhattan the Princess exec talked about.....

planetcadillac Posted September 25, 2005 #6 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Well the way I look at it is this. Sure docking in midtown Manhattan is nice. But I go for the ship not the dock... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MollyBrown Posted September 25, 2005 #8 Share Posted September 25, 2005 I feel sorry for those passenges. "ORIANA welcomes you to a dump: Red Hook, Brooklyn. Enjoy!" I wonder why ORIANA was chosen to be abused first. QM2 will be there soon, while Carnival Line ships stay in Manhattan (as there is one today). Go figure. I'm not looking forward to QM2's docking in Brooklyn this spring. In fact, I rather dread it. Makes me want to just get out of here (New York) now while I can still leave from Manhattan. Maybe I will. However I'm rather afraid of bad weather in November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
