hulawho Posted June 18, 2015 #1 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I want to book a balcony on the Vista next year. I would like to watch us sailing by the Statue of Liberty from my balcony. Which side of the ship do I need to be on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cantthinkofanythingfun Posted June 18, 2015 #2 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Starboard. You can also go to a viewing deck all the way forward and see it well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jimbo5544 Posted June 18, 2015 #3 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Sailing out of New York is a fantastic sailaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jimbo5544 Posted June 18, 2015 #4 Share Posted June 18, 2015 ....and returning (if you are an early riser) is pretty good as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jimbo5544 Posted June 18, 2015 #5 Share Posted June 18, 2015 This is the view of the city.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love my grandkids Posted June 18, 2015 #6 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I would rather be up on deck to see both sides as we sail down the Hudson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

love my grandkids Posted June 18, 2015 #9 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Agreed. In your cabin you would not get to see the VNB like this..... exactly. We are from NY and we have cruised out of NY twice and was awesome to see the skyline especially doing the 9 11 2011 Miracle cruise. Could not imagine just staying on balcony to watch this.

SeeBurd Posted June 18, 2015 #10 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Starboard is correct, but the panorama views up top are so much better. We like being on the open fantail. Not sure if the Vista will have one. then we like being in view of the whale tail as she "scrapes" the bottom of the Verrazano bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love those pics of the Miracle off shore with those two beams of light, wish I was on her then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hulawho Posted June 18, 2015 Author #12 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Thank you all for the replies. We will not be returning to NYC as it's the Vista repo to Miami. My husband is a bit of a recluse and wants to watch from the balcony. I forgot about the bridge. I may be able to convince him to watch from the upper decks if only to watch going under the bridge.

Awesome cruise and still in touch with a bunch of folks we met on it. Not a dry eye to be found when the lights went on and bagpiper started to play.

Best sail away we have done in our 33 cruises! It is worth going out to see. Let us know your thoughts when you return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
