Breakaway in NYC

[Laszlo]

Just wondering why the BA came in a week early?

most likely for crew and supplies

Could be related to Covid/ CDC Conditional  Sailing Order protocols.

Breakaway didn’t show up couple of days ago on the color list. Now it’s there as Orange, but “Crew only”.

Extra provisioning and supplies, fuel, safety inspections & maintenance, and, stocking up extra Covid-19 screening & test kits, PPE and extra medical & wellness supplies.  Not to mention, extra time docked at the pier to test or re-screen and get the crew medical clearances ... don't believe shore leaves are permitted for onboard crew members, in the event of exposure & asymptomatic infections.  

 

Just checked her live shipcam, looks quiet but lonely docked at Pier 88 - not a single vehicle on that upper roadway/ramp above the cruise terminal - traffic seemed light along good old West Side Hwy a/k/a 12th Avenue out front at the street level ... probably sealed off tightly in their own protective bubble.

there's no traffic on the upper roadway by the terminal drop off point because it is in fact closed. there is a padlocked fence at the entrance to the on ramp. i've walked by several times this week.

My guess would be a test cruise with Corporate folks on board.

Probably getting some B-roll footage with a drone for publicity photos and videos like Virgin did last week with the Scarlet Lady.  No one can resist the NYC skyline!
