Rare conandrob240 Posted November 6, 2015 #2 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Yikes! That looks a little close for comfort. I guess whether or not she can sail under it may be determined by the tides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelblu Posted November 6, 2015 #3 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Yikes! That looks a little close for comfort. I guess whether or not she can sail under it may be determined by the tides. Not as close as it looks. Sailed the Quantum in Feb. and looked up at the Verrazano and there was plenty of space in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Turtles06 Posted November 6, 2015 Author #4 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Yikes! That looks a little close for comfort. I guess whether or not she can sail under it may be determined by the tides. Not to worry. Both Anthem and Quantum retract the funnels about 15 feet to sail under the bridge.

If you'd been on the TA, this was a huge deal. They started the sail-in party about 3 AM. But with our final time change that night, it was 4 AM body time. Easy peasy. LOL! (Seriously, it was not to be missed. We just went to bed a little earlier and knew we'd be a little more tired.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a very cool optical illusion when you sail under the Verrazzano! Looks like the top of the ship will get chopped off for sure! But there's plenty of space. As long as we leave on time!

robtulipe Posted November 6, 2015 #11 Share Posted November 6, 2015 (edited) Below are some shots I did screen prints of from the Achieved files of the NY Harbor webcam for Nov.4th. We'll be on her in just over 8 weeks. :) Edited November 6, 2015 by robtulipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Turtles06 Posted November 6, 2015 Author #12 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Below are some shots I did screen prints of from the Achieved files of the NY Harbor webcam for Nov.4th. We'll be on her in just over 8 weeks. Thanks for sharing this. I watch the port web cams often, but didn't realize they had an archive. Nice to have the photos from our sail-in. And now I can see that a lot of my fellow passengers in exterior cabins did NOT pay attention to Captain Claus's request to turn on their lights because it makes for better photos! :p Have a great cruise!
