Statue Liberty sailing into Brooklyn cruise terminal

[shipsealand]

In mid-October our ship will be sailing into New York harbor to the Brooklyn cruise terminal, arriving 7:15 AM. How is the view, if any, of the Statue of Liberty? Have a balcony on the port side, would the view from that location be good?

You do not pass the SOL, and when docked you have Governors Island between you and Liberty Island. That said if you will see some of the SOL in the distance.

Address of the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal is 72 Bowne Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231, which is a not actually the terminal but if you look at Google Earth you can see where the ship docks in relation to the SOL.

And most times they turn the ship before docking so your side will be towards the dock and not the statue.

Love cruising out of nyc , seeing skyline and SOL is great perfer leaving from Manhattan, but Brooklyn is also great . Wish more cruises left from there.

This was my photo of the SOL from QM2 docking at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal last July 2017.

 

It was from Our Port Side Cabin before she started to swing around to dock at the Terminal flush against the Port Side of the vessel.

 

Hope this helps you.....Bon Voyage.....

If you have time before or after your cruise and want a good (and free) view of the SOL just hop the Staten Island ferry and you get a great view both to and from SI.

Thanks for photo which shows clearly that we will see the statue. I looked at Google Map previously and thought I would and this photo shows that the port side balcony for our October sailing will work out.

Hi,

Yes this was on Port Side approaching the Pier from the cabin railing. She is actually gliding in at this point to a stop before she thrutter to the starboard angle.
