LindaKE Posted February 27, 2007 #1 Share Posted February 27, 2007 O.K. This is a slightly different question from anything I can find using the Search Engine. If we want to actually sail past the Statue of Liberty, which specific ships on which specific line would give the best view? (We would be doing a Canada/New England cruise.) I know ships sail from different harbors, so I want to choose the cruise that would give us the best sighting of this fabulous lady. I get goose bumps just at the idea of sailing past her. Thanks!

ANy cruise line that leaves from the West side Terminal which is all except Princess(Crown Princess) Cunard- which leave from the Brooklyn Terminal(close by no actual cruise by) and RC and some X that leaves from Cape Liberty(father away from SOL) than Brooklyn's Red Hook but you still can see it. You can also get a good sail by on the Staten Island Ferry---its free but no cars and no reasonable parking close by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky3 Posted February 28, 2007 #3 Share Posted February 28, 2007 That was a question I had. Since we are sailing on the Crown Princess in September, I guess that means we will NOt be sailing past the Statue of Liberty? That's a bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see it from the Starboard(right) side of the ship fairly well. I posted a picture from the QM2(which also leaves from Brooklyn) from the Port to the SOL... http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=498695 here is the view from the NCL Dawn last week....which leaves from the Manhattan piers http://share.dell.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=8AbsWrRu1ctGRa its the last two pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky3 Posted March 1, 2007 #5 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Thanks so much for those pictures. Guess we'll get a good view if the fog stays away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len3 Posted March 1, 2007 #6 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Coming back into NYC on the Norwegian Dawn on Dec. 28th, they played Neil Diamond's "Coming to America" as we passed the Statue. It was quite moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emdia43 Posted March 4, 2007 #7 Share Posted March 4, 2007 What about RCCL's Explorer of the seas- would you have a view of the statue fromt this ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeyer418 Posted March 4, 2007 #8 Share Posted March 4, 2007 What about RCCL's Explorer of the seas- would you have a view of the statue fromt this ship? As you leave the dock area the Statue will be on your left(port) side. Its within a couple of miles a way as the crow flies...you get closer from Red Hook and you pass by it from the Manhattan cruise terminal...

johnql Posted March 4, 2007 #9 Share Posted March 4, 2007 What about RCCL's Explorer of the seas- would you have a view of the statue fromt this ship? Royal Caribbean ships sail from Cape Liberty (Bayonne, NJ). You'll be able to see the SOL but it's not a direct sailby, which you only get if you sail from Manhattan.

willysgrandma Posted March 5, 2007 #10 Share Posted March 5, 2007 You will see it on the Crown Princess when you leave and come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LindaKE Posted March 5, 2007 Author #12 Share Posted March 5, 2007 The Crown Princess leaves from Manhatten? I tried to check but we must be too far in advance (or I just did something wrong). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LindaKE Posted March 6, 2007 Author #15 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Sailing from Brooklyn, do you still sail past the Statue of Liberty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnql Posted March 6, 2007 #16 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Sailing from Brooklyn, do you still sail past the Statue of Liberty? You can still see the SOL but it's not a direct sailby. Only ships leaving from Manhattan's pier sail directly past the statue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willysgrandma Posted March 6, 2007 #17 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Sailing from Brooklyn, do you still sail past the Statue of Liberty? Yes. But the ships leaving from Manhattan have a closer view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
