New York dockside?

[hazelson]

Has anyone sailed on the Carnival Victory from New York? What dock does she sail from and is there anything of interest in the dock area itself?

The docks are on the far west side (12th Avenue, at the base of the West Side Highway), and most touristy things are east of Eighth Avenue. Normally the main thing of interest near the docks is the aircraft carrier Intrepid; but that's now elsewhere in the harbor, undergoing repairs. The only other tourist attractions right by the docks are nautical: the Circle Line boat tour around Manhattan, and the ferry to NJ.

All of Manhattan is just a short taxi ride away. Lincoln Center and the Theater District, for example, are less than a mile away, Times Square maybe 1.2 miles, Museum of Natural History a bit more than 2 miles, etc.
