As all knows the QM2 is going home to Southampton to take a well rest and will not need to see Brooklyn for awhile. NYC harbor is not what one once knew it to be. Very quiet. NY Staten Island Ferry and the other Consumer Ferries have dramatically cut back schedules. So sad to watch Marine Traffic online and seeing all the Cruise Ships icons missing darting around the Eastern Atlantic coast and waters and wondering where those passengers are going. New York Harbor is different place now that we once knew.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I have seen they seem to be out of touch or trying to gather and preserve cash. However anyone can try to sell anything at any price but I really have to wonder why anyone would buy it and second why would anyone want to come here in April. Does anyone really believe NYC will be back to normal in just a few weeks? I live just across the narrows from Brooklyn Boy8 and hope that June might be something near normal.

Perhaps it is not essential work to update that part of the website. After all who is going to purchase anyway. ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are booking we have a Roundtrip TA from Southampton on 6th May which we booked over 18 months ago' There is somebody on the Roll Call for our return leaving New York on 13th May and booked it only last week. They must be crazy or dreamers. Edited March 29, 2020 by majortom10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Germancruiser Posted March 30, 2020 #11 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Ray66- you are responsible for my first smile of the day- thanks a lot- one smile more does not hurt these days. I am sure they make room for us when we board at April 25th. I am still booked on this voyage- even though I have canceled almost 10 days ago. They are little bit behind- I am sure Cunard is canceling like all the other lines! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypercafe Posted March 30, 2020 #12 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Sign of the times, the USN hospital ship just tied up at the Manhattan cruise terminal. At this point I don't expect to see cruise ships there till the fall, if then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
