ONECRUISER Posted January 20, 2018 #5 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Great shot, would love to be onboard and up there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BirdTravels Posted January 20, 2018 #6 Share Posted January 20, 2018 NorthStar in port or near port is great. At sea, not as interesting. Done both. And since they now do the abbreviated rides that just go up and down (vs swinging out) so that they can squeeze two trips in every 30 min slot, not as fun.

voyager70 Posted January 20, 2018 #8 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Lucky passengers! I've sailed out of Cape Liberty several times and we've never sailed past the Statue. What an awesome view that would be from North Star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisewiththekids Posted January 21, 2018 #9 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Does the Anthem always do a sail-by past the Statue of Liberty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaylemh Posted January 21, 2018 #10 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Does the Anthem always do a sail-by past the Statue of Liberty? No, It is very rare. It happened once in 25 sailing on Explorer, Quantum and Anthem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voyager70 Posted January 21, 2018 #11 Share Posted January 21, 2018 No, It is very rare. It happened once in 25 sailing on Explorer, Quantum and Anthem. That's once more than I've experienced! Really wish they would do the loop around the Statue more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juju2454 Posted January 21, 2018 #12 Share Posted January 21, 2018 We have sailed three times, 2 from bayonne cape liberty and once from NYC and all have sailed past the statue..., it never gets old!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robtulipe Posted January 21, 2018 #13 Share Posted January 21, 2018 We sailed by Miss Liberty last October on Vision when this ship was repositioning from Cape Liberty to Galveston but didn't on the 12 night Anthem cruise we just returned from. It was the only time we experienced this in our 7 sailings from Bayonne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Turtles06 Posted January 21, 2018 #14 Share Posted January 21, 2018 NorthStar in port or near port is great. At sea, not as interesting. Done both. And since they now do the abbreviated rides that just go up and down (vs swinging out) so that they can squeeze two trips in every 30 min slot, not as fun. Thanks for your thoughts on port v. sea. We've been on Anthem once -- her inaugural TA in 2015, Southampton directly to Cape Liberty. No ports, so we've only experienced North Star at sea -- I loved the view of the ocean and the ship from up there, plus North Star did swing out, and that was truly awesome. We'll be on Anthem again in a few weeks, the 8-nighter. We have North Star booked for a sea day; perhaps we'll try to get a ride in North Star while we are docked in Nassau. (Those slots were not open for pre-cruise booking.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckrobyn Posted January 21, 2018 #15 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I’m on the Anthem right now and I can tell you that this sailaway was AMAZING! The Captain announced at the end of muster that he would be taking us on the scenic route and then doing a 180 and heading out to sea. Here are a few of the pictures I took.

amarantha7 Posted January 21, 2018 #16 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Wow, incredible pictures, ckrobyn! Thank you for posting! Is this standard procedure on Anthem? I'm looking forward to some great views in April, whether we get the "scenic" version or not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaniDanielle Posted January 21, 2018 #18 Share Posted January 21, 2018 The same Captain took us on the scenic route Sept. 2016. I thought we were lost!!! Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropikali Posted January 22, 2018 #19 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Is there any particular reason why he sailed by it this time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelblu Posted January 22, 2018 #20 Share Posted January 22, 2018 No, It is very rare. It happened once in 25 sailing on Explorer, Quantum and Anthem. We sailed up the Hudson last August on our way to NE/Canada. We were so close to Battery Park when he turned Anthem around to sail o open waters. It was a sight especially from the 2x70. The last time we did this was when we sailed Leonardo Da Vinci our of NYC and parallel the skyline. Not sure if it's done for Canada cruises as we sailed on the Quantum and Anthem to the Carib. and never went that route. The next day, the Captain jokingly mentioned that he made a mistake as he sailed left instead of right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaylemh Posted January 22, 2018 #21 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Is there any particular reason why he sailed by it this time? I think it may have been because this is a 9 night sailing to Florida and the Bahamas. So there was an extra day to get south. Normally the Florida and Bahamas runs without Miami are 7 days.
