Will we miss Statue of Liberty & Verrazano Bridge

[travel33]

We will be on the Breakaway this June going to Bermuda, and the ship leaves at 4PM.

Hadn't thought about it until now, but I have booked the Cirque Dreams show for 5:45 that evening. From what I've read it's advisable to get in line an hour before for decent seats.

So, will we miss the Statue of Liberty and Verrazano bridge if we have to be in line at 4:45?

If so, thinking of changing the reservation.

TIA!

Yes, don't forget you'll have Muster Drill too.

Thanks, glad am figuring this out now!

On our last cruise on the BA, we were able to stay outside and go under the bridge, and there were plenty of seats available when we got to the show.

I'm assuming you went to the 5:45 show?

What time do you think you got there?

Thanks!

The muster drill should be before they sail.

 

OP: if you intend to leave the outside decks to be in a line indoors by 4:45pm you will almost certainly miss the Bridge, and you'll be pretty rushed seeing the Statue of Liberty (and could miss it if the ship sails a little late). IMHO, your schedule means your whole sailaway will likely be rushed, one of the most magnificent sailaways there is. Personally, I'd change the reservation if I could, and concentrate on enjoying this great sailaway (or just take the risk on seats, assuming everyone else will also be on deck enjoying the sailaway! :D)

 

Have a great time, whatever you decide!

Don't miss the sailaway. It is breathtaking .

Safe sailing

Muster is at 3:30 before departure. What does that have to do with missing the SOL?

 

OP: hope you get to see some of the Americas cup. We are going and will be there for one day of racing. Right near the cruise ship docks.

One of my favorite sailaways. I would choose Sailaway over any show

I recall we got to the Verrazano Bridge a little after 5 pm. If it was me, I would push back your reservations or go another night.

I agree with everyone else, change your reservations! The sail away is amazing!

Thanks everyone, am going to change my reservation! We've left from NYC before, and I sure don't want to miss the beautiful sights. My DS doesn't remember it, so sure don't want him to miss it 😁

Thanks again for all your replies!

Great choice, the great thing is you can move it to another day or time. Loved that sail out

We really enjoyed starting our cruise with this show. Maybe it was because of the sailaway, but we arrived at the venue after sailaway, and didn't find a line (and at that time, the show was all price on the first night). It wasn't even half full.
