croosieloosie Posted May 10, 2007 #1 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Does anyone have any idea if I could get close to the channel to see Liberty come into Port of Miami for the first time on Friday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising89143 Posted May 10, 2007 #2 Share Posted May 10, 2007 There are two places that you can see the Liberty. The first place is South Pointe Park down by South Beach. The second place is Watson Island just off of the MacArthur Causeway. You can Google the maps for these two areas. Last I heard the ship was to arrive sometime between 10 and 11:00 Friday morning but that could change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will it be blocked or too crowded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klever Posted May 10, 2007 #4 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I posted this question in another thread, but I'll try again here: what are the odds that I'll be able to see LOS from my oceanfront condo on Singer Island (Palm Beach County)? Do you think it's already passed by? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it's already passed by? I highly doubt that it has already passed by. We just disembarked in Bayonne yesterday. I would think that it will take at least 2 days to get there.

Watson Island is directly across from where the Liberty will be docked at RCI's terminal and you should not have any problem driving in and parking. If you go to South Pointe Park, you can park down by Smith and Wolensky. There are meters to plug change into for parking. Both are easy to access.

croosieloosie Posted May 10, 2007 Author #7 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Thanks. Have you heard anymore about the schedule? Still set for 10am-11am? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HofstraJet Posted May 10, 2007 #8 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Please keep us informed of the ship's progress....would love to see it on its way in. I can see the port from my office building. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it's already passed by? I doubt you will see it. The only "cruise ship" I ever see out by the Gulf Stream is the gambling ship and that usually sails somewhat south of you, south of Palm Beach, actually. I think Liberty will be farther out in the ocean. That said, I hope you do see it. Wouldn't that be a great treat!!!! By the way. I trust our heavy surf this week didn't haul away too much of your beach front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcfaddensfarm Posted May 11, 2007 #11 Share Posted May 11, 2007 I just tried the Miami web cam and all you can see if haze and water droplets all over the lens. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klever Posted May 11, 2007 #12 Share Posted May 11, 2007 I may be wrong, but I think if you go to this page and click CAM 2 you will see LOS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEIx15x8 Posted May 11, 2007 #13 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Liberty in Miami It's a little grey looking but it's very clear and unlike in New York you can actually fill the whole shot with the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmsdos Posted May 11, 2007 #15 Share Posted May 11, 2007 She is docked. Unfortunately all my pictures are poor… too much smoke and fog… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcfaddensfarm Posted May 11, 2007 #16 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Thanks guys! I also realized that I needed to go to the "watch" function because the picture I had was a couple of hours old and Liberty wasn't there yet!:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klever Posted May 11, 2007 #17 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Attached screen cap. I think you can see LOS on the far right edge. Too bad there's rain on the lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HofstraJet Posted May 11, 2007 #20 Share Posted May 11, 2007 I just took some pictures of LOS from our conference room and posted them here: http://www.dbags.com/images/liberty001.jpg http://www.dbags.com/images/liberty002.jpg http://www.dbags.com/images/liberty003.jpg http://www.dbags.com/images/liberty004.jpg http://www.dbags.com/images/liberty005.jpg http://www.dbags.com/images/liberty006.jpg Liberty005 is the best one I think. I maxed out the digital zoom and used no flash, so they are a bit grainy. If you resize them to make them smaller, they look much better - I just don't have the time to do it right now. Enjoy. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruzerci Posted May 11, 2007 #21 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Okay... here she is at the dock..... I bet the Majesty cruisers are a little bit jealous :p ! I still can't believe how much bigger she is than Majesty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klever Posted May 11, 2007 #22 Share Posted May 11, 2007 These are great. Hope you don't mind if I cleaned this up a bit and uploaded them as attachments. You might try taking some with the lights off in the conference room - that way you won't get as much reflection of the shades off the window.

Rare BecciBoo Posted May 11, 2007 #23 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Okay... here she is at the dock..... Was that photo taken from the MIAMI CAMS site? I couldn't move the frame on that camera. The See Miami Live cam is still down but this picture looks like its from the same angle. The Wachovia cam is not too good, but the 4 Seasons cam is pretty good, you might try that one.
