It was a beautiful and sunny day at the NY Cruise Terminal. It was warm, but a little windy when we departed around 8 pm.
Here are a few of my shots as we left the terminal on the Hudson (this is where Sully captained that USAir flight for a water landing), and the sun had set. Everything was beautiful to the eye, but not so clear for the camera.
My videos were a little better than most of the photos.

| Because of my Mariner status, I was on the ship and unpacked by noon for the 8pm departure. Here are a few shots from the ship of the surrounding area. |
 |
| I wonder what the rent or mortgage would be on some of these homes overlooking the Hudson River. |
 |
| It was dark by the time we exited the port. I was hopeful my photos would be clear. |

| The Empire State Building was partially blocked by other high rise buildings from the ship's terminal. |
 |
| Soon you could see the Empire State Building with it's twinkling lights as the ship reached the channel. |
 |
| The art deco style of the Chrysler Building can be seen with its distinctive top. |
 |
| I moved to the other side of the ship to take shots of Lady Liberty on the New Jersey side of the Hudson. |
 |
| I wasn't able to see the Freedom Tower since I was on the NJ side. However, the view of Lady Liberty was worth it! |
 |
| The view of Lower Manhattan as the ship entered the Atlantic. You can see the Freedom Tower which is 1776 feet tall. Those streaks in the sky aren't UFOs; planes coming into the three local airports were everywhere and visible at night. |
