smokeybandit Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 It'll be interesting to see if Oasis leaves on time with Henri on its way. It doesn't look like the storm will have too much impact on the port area but I could see a delayed departure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all a check in the box activity. cruisellama 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aulayan Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Sometimes ships go up the bay for a better look at the city and the Statue before going under the Verrazano bridge.

Scooter6251 Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 What's the plan for Harmony's test cruise? Will it be required? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aulayan Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Currently, and anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, the Conditional Sail Order will expire before Harmony comes back to the US. Now if (when) the CDC extends that order, then they'll have to schedule a test cruise for Harmony. But while I'm sure everyone expects the CDC to extend it, nothing can be planned until they do.

The up river might trips have been a practice stop to see the statue and the freedom tower then a real one with guests last night... If it's gonna be a habit, I need to alter my striped bass September spot.... Right where they turned in is where I normally drift using eels for bait...

Yes my November 14th Harmony is giving me anxiety as I think it will be cancelled for this reason. I'm trying to convince my husband to change to Oasis from Miami but he already submitted his vacation and doesn't want to change it.
