Super Bowl at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal?!

[pmb1]

The Star-Ledger article today "That's the ticket: What $19,000 will get you at Super Bowl XLVIII" says:

 

Among the fetes are the red carpeted ESPN, Maxim, Playboy and Leather & Laces parties as well as Taste of the NFL, the Super Bowl's annual feast for gourmands, set at Brooklyn Cruise Terminal.

The Super Bowl is scheduled to take place on Feb. 2, 2014. How many cruise ships will be affected if the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal is used for Super Bowl function held in the Terminal at that time?

Sadly enough, this is me answering my own question: NONE.

 

QM2 is scheduled to dock in Red Hook on 3 Jan 2014, and again on 16 May 2014. To the best of my knowledge, there will no other ships docked during that time. HOWEVER, the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal is used for many other functions, not just ships docking, and not just for a stupor bowl party.

 

Personally, I'm happy that the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal has multiple uses.

Three Cheers for Brooklyn!

Apparently true:

QV and QE are calling on NYC on January 18 during their world cruises but will be docking in Manhattan.

Am I imagining this or did I hear that Norwegian Getaway (or Breakaway) will be chartered by Budweiser Light to serve as a hotel during the Super Bowl?

 

I plan on being so far out of town as I can get.

QV is not docking in NYC it will be in Ft Lauderdale, just the QE will be in NYC on January 18th

No, Bobby you're not imagining it: The new Norwegian Getaway will be used as a hotel for approximately 4,000 "Bud Light's retailers, partners and VIP guests, though consumers will have opportunities to win tickets to some events on board." The story, and photo of the new ship can be found here http://www.foxnews.com/travel/2013/11/07/new-cruise-ship-to-be-super-bowl-floating-hotel/

 

Imagine what that will do to traffic on the Westside, especially if there's a snow storm :eek: -S.

Is the U.S.S..intrepide moored in Brooklyn??

 

Bud Light Hotel will also take over the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum, including the deck of the retired military ship, which is permanently docked in the pier adjacent to where Getaway will be moored.

Opps, I don't want to jump ahead of Salacia, so She will answer you.

But I read the article that Salacia added here, and the ship is the Getaway,not Breakaway

It appears the the piers from the Intrepide to pier 88 will be ONE BIG PARTY!

amazing for cold New york in January .

I'm planning on a NB or NG cruise for the experience. Good to hear from you that you enjoyed it. My travel agent, who is a Cunard specialist, had nice things to say about NB.

 

I just need to be far away from the spillover effect of Super Bowl on the city. Salacia's got it right.
