js Posted September 27, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Hi. This is my view from my office in Staten Island. Not sure what ship this is, maybe Escape, but it hasnt moved in about an hour. Anyone know the reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallux Posted September 27, 2022 #2 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Escape is in dry dock in France. That would be the Getaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcoy Posted September 27, 2022 #3 Share Posted September 27, 2022 On Facebook someone said the Getaway is not coming to it’s planned voyage to Port Canaveral due to the hurricane hitting FL tomorrow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallux Posted September 27, 2022 #4 Share Posted September 27, 2022 (edited) I figured it was hurricane-related. Edited September 27, 2022 by hallux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarlChilders Posted September 27, 2022 #5 Share Posted September 27, 2022 That is the Getaway, she was supposed to start a 9 day Carribean from Port Canaveral on 9/29 which has been cancelled due to Hurricane Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gatorchinsky Posted September 27, 2022 #8 Share Posted September 27, 2022 9 minutes ago, ChiefMateJRK said: Is she empty? Yes she is. She was making her way to Port Canaveral for a 9 night leaving on Thursday but we all just got the email that NCL cancelled the whole cruise. A lot of us thought they might just make it a 7 night and leave Saturday. A lot of people scrambled with new flights or long haul drives to make it down here before the storm hits.

They are supposed to be on a repositioning cruise (training, cleaning, crew enrichment (a.k.a party)). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PATRLR Posted September 27, 2022 #11 Share Posted September 27, 2022 @wolft927 - Looks like Getaway is hanging around New York right now, that might impact your departure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesea777 Posted September 27, 2022 #12 Share Posted September 27, 2022 I was wondering why Getaway stopped in her tracks in the Narrows just before the Verrazzano Bridge .... she arrived in MCT (New York) at 7 am this morning, departed at 12:30 pm to sail with crew only (no passengers) to Port Canaveral but after an hour's sailing she stopped in the harbour at 1:30 pm. Sad that the above happened, but no dice for Getaway and her passengers to be able to sail out of Port Canaveral where the airports close to PC are going to be closed. Also, according to Windy the seas on both sides of Florida are expected to be very choppy (20-30 ft) on Thursday afternoon/evening. No chance. Now, it's a wait and see where Getaway will spend the 9 days before her next cruise out of PC on Oct 8th. Bermuda has a free berth after 5pm tomorrow until Sunday 8am .....

This cruise was diverted to Canada due to the Hurricane Fiona. It was a 5 day cruise and today is their debarkation date. The Getaway no longer has any more New York cruises this year.

toad455 Posted September 27, 2022 #14 Share Posted September 27, 2022 I just crossed the Verrazano and saw the ship doing circles. So it'll just sit in the New York harbor until it's safe to sail south? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanga777 Posted September 27, 2022 #16 Share Posted September 27, 2022 The 9/22 Cruise was SUPPOSED to be to Bermuda. Because of Fiona there was an alternate schedule of Newport, Portland and St. John’s. The ship disembarked this morning and was deadheading to Port Canaveral. With Ian they were unsure if that was going to happen. The Maitre’d in The Haven this morning told me that they were still going to PC after they had a managers meeting last night. Being back home and nowhere NEAR the ship I just reported what I knew at the time! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesea777 Posted September 27, 2022 #17 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Getaway is on the move, north - looks like it's back to MCT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crew was looking forward to an empty ship and two days off. I asked at breakfast this morning if they were still going to Florida due to the hurricane and the crew said they had not heard anything different.

Rare PistolPete13 Posted September 27, 2022 #19 Share Posted September 27, 2022 I was on the 5:45PM Staten Island ferry heading from lower Manhattan to Staten Island and it was a traffic jam in the harbor with the QE2 aircraft carrier (and security cordon), the inbound Getaway, and a huge container vessel. I was scratching my head wondering what the empty Getaway was doing inbound this late in the day. Looks like cruise critic solved the mystery! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
