NCL vs. RCCL to Bermuda

[dialy girl]

Does anyone know why the Empress OTS is scheduled to arrive in Bermuda at 3:00 PM, and NCL Crown at 9:00 AM. According to their posted itineraries, they are scheduled to depart within 1 hour of each other.

When the crown leaves out of Philly in the beginning of the season it arrives at 1pm in St. George.

 

The crown arrives at 9am in Bermuda in St. George when it is sailing from NY (not Philly like Empress). NY takes an hour to get to the Atlantic which is clear sailing down to Bermuda.

 

The empress leaves out of Philly and arrives in Bermuda at 3pm in Hamilton. When cruising out of Philly they go down the Delaware river, very slowly and my friends said it took about 4-5 hours.
