nyfeds Posted December 18, 2013 #1 Share Posted December 18, 2013 We are booked on Marina's "Coasts and Cultures" cruise for 2015, out of NYC. Which terminal would Marina most likely leave out of - Manhattan or Brooklyn? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LHT28 Posted December 18, 2013 #8 Share Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) Well that's 3 of us..... We are getting off May22 after 33 days from Tahiti Are you sure?? The 2015 cruise leave May 7th from NYC then leaves Montreal for the TA on May 18th I believe I think you are on the 2014 cruise that ends in NYC May 22nd Edited December 18, 2013 by LHT28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ronrick1943 Posted December 18, 2013 #9 Share Posted December 18, 2013 We're leaving on the May 22th New York to London. When the ship leaves does it go from the dock pass the Statute of Liberty? I'm guessing it's a really nice departing the city. We're in the very back of the ship so we're planning dinner in and outside deck in the cabin that night. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing it's a really nice departing the city. We're in the very back of the ship so we're planning dinner in and outside deck in the cabin that night. Rick Ships that leave from the Manhattan Cruise Terminal go by the Statue of Liberty, which will be on the starboard side. You will have a great view of the midtown-to-lower Manhattan skyline on the port side, including the new Freedom Tower (One WTC). You'll also pass under the Verrazano Bridge. It's spectacular after sunset, but you'll probably leave before then in May. In any case, lots of great photo ops! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick The ship will pass quite near the Statue when leaving New York Harbor, as this view of Holland America's Statendam IV suggests. Unfortunately, you'll probably be hips deep in the Lifeboat drill, just as this vista is achieved. We've sailed from New York dozens of times, and it never fails.... :o Consider planning your Dinner for an hour later, to coincide with going under the Verrazano Narrows Bridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
journeyfan Posted December 18, 2013 #12 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I thought all Lifeboat drills are now completed before the ship sets sail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypercafe Posted December 18, 2013 #13 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I also think the drill is done before the ship sails, if it is warm have dinner in the Terrace outside at the back, you will see the sights on both sides. As you back out of the pier look upriver, you get a nice shot of the George Washington Bridge and the Palisades on the Jersey side. If you are new to NYC lots to see in one hour. Have fun!!!

Mura Posted December 19, 2013 #15 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Unless it's changed since I made up my itinerary, the May 2014 departure is at 7pm out of NYC to Dover. All of our recent trips have had the boat drill around 5:00 or 5:15. If we have to be on board by 5:00, maybe the drill will be a little later ... but I don't think the ship wants to deprive passengers of the view sailing out of the harbor.

Rare ronrick1943 Posted December 19, 2013 #17 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Thanks for the information. We have one of the "O" suites in the back of the ship, plan to have dinner in the suite that night to see the view. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda93 Posted December 19, 2013 #18 Share Posted December 19, 2013 We did the NYC-London cruise in May 2013 and it was fabulous. We sailed at 8pm (actually, I think we backed out of the berth a few minutes early) and had a wonderful view of southern Manhattan, the Statue of Liberty and the VZN bridge as the sun went down. We were having champagne on our balcony when we saw the pier 'moving'; realized we were pulling out early and scrambled up top. It was almost totally dark by the time we went under the VZN. Also, the ship moves at a rapid clip so it doesn't take long (maybe a half-hour, tops?) to be fully out to sea. Don't stay inside for an extra drink or you'll miss it. I will never forget the sun setting behind the Statue of Liberty as we sailed past, nor the view of the Freedom Tower gleaming in the late evening light. It was magical and I can't wait to do it again one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyfeds Posted December 19, 2013 Author #19 Share Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) Caroldoll, There is a roll call. BTW, we, too, live in "the OC." We're "native NYers" and it never ceases to amaze us just how beautiful that Statue of Liberty and NY skyline are! The sailaway should be breathtaking!

Cathy Maneri Posted December 22, 2013 #21 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I just booked this cruise. Very excited that Oceania is doing this in May and on the Marina. I cruised out of NYC on a Canada/New England many years ago. I'm originally from NY and worked in Manhattan for many years, so the NYC skyline brings tears to my eyes whenever I see it. It's most beautiful at night. Haven't been to the NYC terminal in quite a few years, does anyone know if they updated it? Another question, does any one know what time we will be able to board the ship? I know this ship doesn't get into NYC till 12:30pm. Planning to fly in that morning, hopefully drop off the luggage at the ship and go get lunch at Becco on 46th Street. Happy Holidays to all!

Rare ronrick1943 Posted December 22, 2013 #22 Share Posted December 22, 2013 No, the ship arrives in New York at 7:00AM from Lima. So it should be normal boarding times. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will check out Becco, as we'll be in the City a few extra days. As native NYers now living in So. CA, we greatly miss NY Italian, pizza, and deli. Looking forward to meeting another NYer, Cathy!
