I'm on the Bermuda origin side of this. There were 2 ships doing 7-day cruises to Bermuda that were due to arrive into New York's west side piers on Sunday August 28, the Norwegian Cruise Lines "Norwegian Gem" and Holland America's "Veendam."
The Gem delayed it's arrival until Monday and the Veendam came in a day early and rode out the storm in port. Either one if these seems like a likely candidate for the Kiskadee to have hitched a ride on.
