Pilot boat just met them.

 

Pilot is on and they are moving fast.......looks like arrival time might be even sooner!

 

Wonder how many radio and Tv stations will be there to meet them?

Thank you for the information, I have turned the webcam on - it is nice to be able to see properly given the gorgeous (but no doubt very cold) weather in NY today.

It would be 11:40am EST time since it is minus 5 for EST, minus 4 for EDT.

 

Here is the webcam link.

Right, but that was about the time they picked up the pilot so that could be what they are showing.

The estimate must be in EST even thought it says UTC or they would be here already.

I thought utc was later than Eastern time by 5 or 6 hours depending on whether we are in standard or daylight savings time.

EST +5hrs=UTC

EDT +4hrs=UTC

I didn't do the minus 5 right anyways lol but from what I looked up it is minus 5 or minus 4 depending on EDT or EST.

I could be wrong since I already couldn't do simple math.:o

[Jimbo]

They have to back off on the speed now, so I'm figuring a little after 2pm they should be docked. Should make alot of people happy to get off the ship in the daylight and head home.

[Jimbo]

16 knots....12 minutes from the bridge

 

Looks like it may be docking by 1:30Pm ,traveling much faster then they usually do coming into the harbor

Explorer of the Seas is in NY Harbor. Should be docking very soon.

[Jimbo]

Usually they never show the ship coming all the way in.

 

Sellingh the footage on all the news channels I guess

Not like anything else interesting is on. Health panics are bigger sellers for new agencies.

I don't think anyone in their right mind is going to put this cruise in any of their top ten cruises of all time.

 

I think you are kidding yourself if you say that. This was a far from a normal cruise.

 

 

Lets get real!

You can tell by watching the NY Harbor cam site...or any major news network showing live footage. Longest I've seen the harbor cam focus on a ship.
