jflatto Posted August 12, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 12, 2017 We are sailing on Anthem from New Jersey over Christmas this year. Will we be able to see the Statue of Liberty as we sail out or are we too far away? I am thinking I saw that we will not but wanted to confirm. Thanks.

Clarea Posted August 12, 2017 #2 Share Posted August 12, 2017 You can see the statue from the port. It's small compared to the skyline beyond, but you should be able to see it from the port side of the ship when docked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jflatto Posted August 12, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Do we get any closer as we sail away or do we get farther away? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josumello Posted August 12, 2017 #4 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Do we get any closer as we sail away or do we get farther away? Thanks. We were at the Statue of Liberty last month when the Anthem left port. She very slowly made her way to the Statue then turned around and headed out to the Verazzano bridge. Very nice.

Unless it's one of those rare occasions when the Captain sails up to the statue, you will turn south immediately after leaving port and be sailing away from the statue.

DonnaK Posted August 12, 2017 #7 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Do we get any closer as we sail away or do we get farther away? Thanks.You get further away because the port is slightly south of the statue On rare occasions, the Captain has sailed north towards the statue and then turned around to head under the bridge. If you've never been to Cape Liberty, there is a 9/11 memorial just to the right of the terminal (if you are facing the ship) that's well worth a visit. It can also be viewed from any forward balcony on the starboard side of the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will be able to get a glimpse from the ship. However, if you get lucky as we did in our 9 nite NE/Canada itinerary of last August, our Captain did a left instead of a right and we saw Lady Liberty, Ellis Island, partial NYC skyline, etc. It was a tour unto itself.
