Norwegian Star Leaves From New York Twice Today.

Norwegian Cruise Line's Norwegian Star Sails Twice from New York Today

Today Norwegian Cruise Line's Norwegian Star left New York on her way to Bermuda at 4:15 P.M. as usual. Passengers on deck got to view the skyline as she sailed down the river and under the Verrazano. After passing about 15-20 minutes past the bridge, at 5:24 PM, the Norwegian Star unexpectedly turned around and began to sail up river arriving back at the Manhattan Cruise  Terminal and docking again at 6:30 PM

The Norwegian Star then departed the Manhattan Cruise Terminal again at 7:10 PM. The Norwegian Star was seen under the Verrazano Bridge a second time at 8:00 PM.

It is unclear whether she returned due to an ill passenger or some other reason.

Perhaps related.....

The Norwegian Star did bump Royal Caribbean's Explore of the Seas at Kings Wharf Bermuda at about 1:30 p.m. ET on Sept. 14. A high wind squall (estimated to be 52 miles per hour) caused the Norwegian Star’s aft mooring lines to break while the ship was docked in Bermuda. There were no injuries, and after a short time of being at anchor, the ship re-docked alongside at the pier. Divers entered the water to assure the Norwegian Star did not have any underwater damage. The ship left for New York 2 hour later than expected on Friday.

We will see if we can find out more about the situation.
