Rare RJChatsworth Posted September 4, 2016 #1 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Will this storm delay QM-2's arrival in Red Hook, NY on Thursday 8th September or affect passengers flying into NYC to board the ship? If so suspect Halifax will be cancelled so that QM-2 will arrive in Southampton on time on 16th. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so suspect Halifax will be cancelled so that QM-2 will arrive in Southampton on time on 16th. Any thoughts? So far this storm has resisted prediction. It seems to be the Zeno's Paradox of storms [approaching but never actually arriving]. Here on Long Island, 'Tropical Storm Conditions' were forecast for yesterday and today - but so far nothing of notice [dry and a bit breezy]. There was an emergency notification misfire calling for the evacuation of Suffolk County. There actually was a 'voluntary evacuation' order for Fire Island, but that was rescinded. Last night's ferry ride was a little cool, but not rough sailing.

Salacia Posted September 7, 2016 #4 Share Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) So far marinetraffic.com is reporting an estimated arrival time in Brooklyn of 10:45am on Thursday(8-Sep) Mr Brian, have you received any update from Cunard regarding your boarding time on Thursday? Best wishes to all on board; I'm sure it will be an exciting (and safe) entry to the harbor. Disembarking passengers: Sorry to say it looks like you'll greeted with a heat wave in NY. Better than a snow storm?:D Regards, Salacia Edited September 7, 2016 by Salacia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salacia Posted September 8, 2016 #5 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I'm not at all sure that I'm reading the AIS position correctly, but QM2 seems to me to be on schedule, if not a bit early ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
