I remember those Jenn. Had one gathering dust for years until we gave it to our Son. Now they hang their clothes on it. They got a new thing for exercise. It is called "a baby." :tongue:

We are generally on our balcony during sail away. The exception is when sailing from Cape Liberty, NJ. Shortly after leaving the dock the ship sails under the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, clearing the bridge by less than 10 feet. We never get tired of seeing that from the uppermost deck.

You must have sailed on taller ships than us. We've sailed under the VZ bridge seven times, and it's fascinating; but we certainly had a lot more than 10 feet of clearance on the Regal Empress, the Rotterdam, the Seven Seas Navigator, and the Zenith. Maybe the QM2 or the Freedom of the Seas has only 10 feet of clearance: those are gigantic ships.

For us, where we are for sailway depends on the place and the time of day. On our last two cruises (Barbados and Amsterdam) sailaway was very late (11 pm and midnight), and we were asleep. That may happen as well on our 5/27 sailaway at 11 p.m. (2 a.m. body time) from Vancouver.

The two times we had a balcony, we started on the balcony, watched us sail past the Statue of Libery, and then went up to a high deck to watch us go under the VZ bridge. It's sheer happenstance that both of our balcony sailings started in NY and had NJ and the statue on our side of the ship: the next balcony sailing will be on the 27th in Vancouver.

On both of our Med. cruises, we watched the sailaway from a bar near the top, and near the back, of the ship. Either the top or the back is a good place to see the port; and that where we normally are if we're awake and don't have a balcony.
