Queen Elizabeth NYC Docking

[CaribbeanSun53163]

Hello Everyone,

 

Does any of you know which side of Pier 88 the new Queen Elizabeth is going to dock? Accross from the interepid side or Pier side. I am hoping near the intrepid. That way I can take photos of the ships in NYC at Pier 88 and 90 without security saying something like I can't take photos of the queens. Please let me know.

We are embarking tomorrow and were told it was Pier 92

Are the Queens here already? The Cunard website's bridge cam's show the GPS for the ships as being in Red Hook (Brooklyn).

 

Are they in port already? Or perhaps just anchored outside of New York?

QV and QE are both heading towards NYC @ 19kts and have a fair way to go yet - I would estimate about 7hrs ish, can't see QM2 on the live tracking currently.

 

Cheers

Oh cool... How are you able to see the tracking of the ships?

One of my friends on FB is on board QE. They recently posted that they're doing 18-19 kts, and are expected to arrive in NY on schedule. :cool:

I've an app on my iPad that shows me the live tracking of any ship around the world (as long as it's in range of a ground AIS receiver) :)

I need to get that App... are you allowed to say what app it is?

 

I'm REALLY excited to use my iPad when I sail on the QM2 in July for the Astronomy programs. Will be very fun being able to identify exactly what stars we're seeing from the decks...

AIS is very reliable. However if it breaks down you can use sailwx.

Some of the ships don't always report their GPS positions. The Cunard Queens are generally good reporting where they are.

I saw QV and QE getting into port and to their piers just now via the Intrepid/Concorde live cam - Intrepid and Concorde are at Pier 86.

 

Can still see them as I am posting.

Vickie and New Liz will be at piers 88 and 90.

 

They are now in!

 

Welcome to NYC Harbour!

New Liz just came into the piers. I saw her on the Intrepid Museum/Concorde live cams.

I did some screenshots.

 

Beautiful close-up views.

 

Intrepid is at Pier 86. The Queens will be at Piers 88 and 90. Concorde will have two friends to talk stories with today. I bet she will feel nostalgic!

Is there a not too far distant live cam where we can see Big Mary?

 

Thinking of tonight when they will leave.

 

The two other cams -Intrepid and Wired- are fantastic. From the Intrepid Museum/Concorde cam you can get close-ups of New Liz every few minutes.

Is it ipad only or for iphones too? (OK, the screen is much smaller but still) Which app is it?

[northernsailor]

It's Ship Finder or Ship Finder HD for iPad - was about 4-5 USD I think..

I found Ship Finder (Free or $4.99) for the iphone, I will try it out, thanks.

You make them sound like hookers, personally I prefer QM2 or QE if you don't wish to use their given names.

No taking offense here. Just a different, less conservative and more hip way of naming them. Is it not allowed?

 

Nothing to do with hookers. Would never even come to mind. :)

Haha! I know, I can't stand to see 'Vicky' or 'Vickie' !

Your way isn't the only way.
