Cruise to Nowhere

[ncklhaus]

Does anyone know how far out in the Atlantic Ocean the ship will go on a 2 night cruise to nowhere? We are going on the Jewel out of NYC in February. Just curious.

Far enough out that they can open the casino. The a few miles beyond that as they just take the ship slowly in a big circle.

Thank you!

The one-nighters follow the Long Island coast and go out about as far as Riverhead, then turn around.

 

The two-nighters continue East to about a perpendicular dropped from Boston, then they turn around.

 

(That's what we've seen on the Nav channel onboard)

Any cell phone service or just thru the ships towers?

No, I never got a signal once underway...the ship's cell would override.

I can't say for sure, but somewhere I read that a ship on a CTN has to maintain a minimum speed of, like, 6 knots. It can't just pull out of the harbor and then stand still. So combine that with the issue about getting far enough off shore to open the casino, and that should give you some idea.
