Statue of Liberty....Port or Starboard when leaving NY?

[Netnurse31]

We are booked in an AB Penthouse on the Dawn in August. I'd love to be able to sit out on our balcony and take some pictures as we cruise past "The Lady" Could someone tell me which side of the ship offers the best view of her when leaving NY?

 

Thanks!

normally Starboard right leaving and left port back....

When you leave New York the Statue will be on the Port side. At the time of day the ship leaves the Statue will be absolutely beautiful.

 

Enjoy!

Opps, Smeyer is right. No matter how often I cruise I always mix up Port and Starboard.

Brooklyn is on your Port side...waive hi to me as you pass :)

Yes, Lady Liberty will be starboard as you depart NYC. However, before you get there, the Manhattan skyline will be on the port side. So, start out facing port, and once you pass the tip of Manhattan, make a quick move to starboard. :)

 

If you have the time, stay out on deck until you've passed under the Verazano Narrows Bridge. It's quite a sight.
