The rumors were true!! Invites went out recently for the Christening of the Treasure in NYC on November 19-20th. So excited. Hope to be able to go down there and take some pics of her either docked or in the Harbor.

How exciting! Do you (or anyone?) know how the public gets a view? Best places to stand? When to arrive?

If I were in NY, I’d find a place that allows viewing the ship as it sails in (and/or out). Docked at Chelsea Pier seems like a little more tucked in.

Let’s watch for further details of arrival time.

The OP’s post looks like they sent a “Save the Date” pre-invitation. More info to come.

I know you see a lot of Manhattan and NJ on a sail in/out. I hope the cast Members get the opportunity to take it in.

A spot down near Battery Park, to catch the Statue of Liberty and the Treasure would be a fun photo.
 
I grabbed that invite from someone who posted it online. Wish I was invited!!! There is some speculation on where the ship will be docked. While the invite says Pier 60 that is a really a party venue....the ships that dock there are mostly yachts. I do not think a ship the size of the Treasure could dock at Chelsea Piers. I also heard that the ship will stay in the Harbor for the Christening and dock over night at either Pier 88 or 90 (where they usually dock). If that is the case anywhere along the Hudson river on either the NY or NJ side should give a good view of the ship when docked at Pier 88 or 90.....best would be right out front of the terminal at about 12th Ave and 55th Street. These are some pics from when I went to view the Fantasy when she was in town back in 2012 for her Christening:

None of those details have been made public. Apparently, though, they are ahead of schedule so will sail to Port Canaveral first to pick up crew and supplies and then head up to NY for the Christening instead of going directly to NYC from Germany.

When I used to work in Jersey City, right on the water, it was a great spot to watch the ships going out (I sure as hell wasn't in the office early enough to watch them come in). Probably the only thing I miss about working in Jersey City. Since I'm in midtown Manhattan now, I'll have to try to get over to the pier to get a peek.

I work in Lower Manhattan so I get to see a lot of ships docked in and going out of the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal. It's always a treat to see the QM2. I'll have to get uptown for this one.
 
I’m curious to know what the Treasure will be doing for the weeks between its Christening and its MV. We are currently set to be in WDW the end of Nov (and on the Dream over thanksgiving)— if there’s any chance of a preview sailing I want to jump on that.

Usually those are invited previews - travel advisors, "influencers", cast members, family and friends of crew.

I know someone on the 7 day preview cruise over Thanksgiving and was told it is “sold out” so they probably offered it to CMs and others as already mentioned. Definitely not to the general public.

I saw the Fantasy also coming to NYC right under the Verrazzano Bridge. I have a picture somewhere..........too many pictures to go through.
