Saw the Grand Princess docked in NYC. That's one big ship.

Driving down towards the end of the West Side Highway (Joe DiMaggio Highway) I had perfect view of the Grand Princess and Celebrity's X docked in port this past Sunday.

 

I think Princess ships are more stunning to look at than others, w/ the exception of maybe Cunard's Queens, Grand Princess looked so bright, white and clean -- and very very long. A very contemporary but elegant looking ship.

 

What's so unusual is that she dwarfed the passenger terminal, piers, all the traffic, cars and people. She really is one big bad boat.

 

I regret not taking a picture to able to attach in this post. I don't know what her current itinerary is (well, obviously assuming Canada/New England's fall foliage tours).

 

Anyone know when the Grand is leaving NY and where she's heading next?

I believe she is scheduled to leave Nov 1 and arrive in TX Nov 4, for the first Galveston cruise set to leave Nov 8.

My sentiments exactly like yours........they do appear to be the whitest ships which automatically gives you a very clean look. Too bad she won't stay in New York year round. Start working on that Princess!:)

Yes, she is a sight to behold. I saw her in Fort Lauderdale and we were so impressed DH and I that we booked our first cruise just because of the way she lookeed. ;o)
