 Safety equipment in place...

...and we are leaving New York

it was very windy and cold

Congratulations! We are on our merry way!

Leaving the NY Brooklyn Cruise Terminal

Looks like a "yellow cab" but it really is a tug boat

Statue of Liberty. It was too late and too windy to circle around. 

We headed straight for the Verrazano Bridge

The QM2 has to leave in time to make sure she fits under the bridge. 

We left a bit later than planned and had

only a few feet to spare

Sitting on deck 7 on the way out we met this nice mother-daughter couple from Hamburg. 

Can you see how cold it is???

 We stopped at the wintergarden to write a few post cards

The chairs are now all tied up to prevent them from blowing across the deck.

This beautiful chimney is one of the original four Titanic chimneys 

 The lifeboats

Looking down to deck 7

Deck 7 - Three laps equal 1.9 miles. Usually it's very busy here

Deck 11 with indoor and outdoor pool and the Ragatta Bar and Lounge

The view out to the back of the ship

The middle of the Atlantic Ocean 

Deck Stuarts hard at work

The nose - I wanted to stand there at night like in the Titanic movie, but it's restricted.

Here you see extra propellers. The look very small from up top. In reality the are very large but still decorative.

The view from the observation deck, right below the bridge.

The bridge with the shadow of your Captain

 The doggy park - not very attractive but functional. The dogs are supervised all day and have individual kennels. Sorry, no grass until England

One of the endless hallways. Narrow, so you can touch the walls and railings at high seas.

The stairwell and elevators on deck 6

Go up to deck 7, to the Kings Court buffet area and the wonderful  promenade deck

Plaques like this are on the walls all around the ship from hundreds of locations around the world
