js Posted September 15, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 15, 2023 (edited) Hi. Both ships came under the VZ and have been in this position, and now with a helicopter hoovering over, since at least 8 am. This is the view from my office. Thank you.

The ship is The Escape coming to anchor safely in the harbor from the hurricane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare genealogyfan Posted September 15, 2023 #3 Share Posted September 15, 2023 According to cruise mapper it looks like the Norwegian Escape and the Seven Seas Mariner. The Mariner was originally supposed to arrive in Bermuda on the 14th and not arrive in NYC until the 17th. The Escape was supposed to be in Halifax and St. John and not arrive in NYC until the 17th. I guess they are avoiding the Hurricane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesea777 Posted September 15, 2023 #4 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Thanks for the picture … however, the larger ship on right is NCL Escape (not Joy), and the smaller ship on left is Seven Seas Mariner that had to cancel its calling into Bermuda earlier this week.

Rare www3traveler Posted September 15, 2023 #5 Share Posted September 15, 2023 The Joy has a bright red oriental design painted on Her bow. My tracking site says They is in the Gulf of St. Laurence. Hopefully She also will be safe from the approaching hurricane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Liljo22 Posted September 15, 2023 #8 Share Posted September 15, 2023 What are the regulations when something like this happens? Is the casino open while anchored in the harbor? Does everything get charged sales tax? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am assuming that you have to pay sales tax on your drinks regardless of a drink package. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
