Sail Past the Statue of Liberty?

[LibertyGirl7]

Hi Everyone!

 

Does anyone know if the Anthem of the Seas out of New Jersey will sail past the Statue of Liberty on her way out of port?

 

Thanks for any help!

Likely not.  The pier at Cape Liberty is south of the statue, and although Celebrity captains have been known to sail up and around it, I haven't read of it being done lately.  For current info, ask on the Royal Caribbean board.  EM

Sometimes she does circumnavigate New. York upper bay departure

Celebrity only has a ship out of NJ in the summer, they have done it every year for the past five years depending on conditions. No reason why they won’t do it this year.

do the ships that sail out of Manhatten or Brooklyn sail by her?

Ships that depart from Manhattan Cruise Terminal do pass Lady Liberty.

When sailing down the Hudson, I watch cruisers start taking pics of Lady Liberty as the ship approaches, and they get real nice pics of the back of her head.

Trick is to wait until the ship just passes the Statue, so you can view her face.

Yes, we did so twice!

Leaving from Manhattan's Pier 90, down the Hudson and past Her

before going under the bridge and out to sea.

• .  If you aren't lucky enough to pass her, do make an effort to view the beautiful "Tear Drop" Sculpture sent to the USA  from Russia to commemorate 9/11.  It is on the right-hand side of the ship at the end of the little park at Cape Liberty.  Truly touching.
