JEWEL OF THE SEAS IN BOSTON DURING HURRICANE SANDY by Richard H. Wagner |
In late October 2012, Hurricane Sandy struck the northeastern United States. Among the cruise ships that took refuge in Boston during the storm was Jewel of the Seas. The ship was scheduled to begin a re-positioning cruise from Boston to Tampa on October 28, 2012. However, that would have put the ship at sea in the path of the storm. Therefore, the decision was made to remain in Boston until the storm passed.
