This is my favorite port to cruise out of.

 

There is nothing like sailing past the Statue of Liberty and under the Verrazano Bridge as well as seeing Manhattan from the water.

 

We loved the Dawn, the only drawback is there is no Great Outdoors area to eat at in the back of the ship, which on other NCL ships such as the Spirit is out favorite place to sit and eat.

 

You will enjoy NYC.

I totally agree with the previous poster. Awesome views and an almost emotional experience, especially when you pass the ground zero area.

I also enjoy the great outdoors on other ships.

The Dawn wins so many people over because of her extraordinary crew. They are like a well oiled machine. We are boarding her a week from Sunday and looking forward to it tremendously.

thanks sounds nice I was wondering about the port too if you know where you can stay and maybe leave your car or what hotels might have some kind of shuttle?

we may fly in but i'm not sure so we want to check all the options.

thanks again

All NCL cruises from New York originate at the Manhattan cruise terminal, which is located on 12th Avenue between 48th and 55th Streets.

 

The Dawn has only one remaining cruise from New York, a repositioning cruise that departs next week on October 10. That cruise ends in Miami, where the Dawn will be based for the winter. Next year the Dawn will be based in Boston for its Bermuda cruise season.

 

There will be Caribbean cruises from NY on the Gem and Jewel during the month of January, 2011. Both of these ships are newer than the Dawn.

When you sail out of n.y. it is awesome. Go out on deck at the bow and the sky scrapers are right in front of you as if you could reach out and touch them.

Suggest the OP check out the port forum for a wealth of tips on this subject.
