Skid Posted May 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 Now I have a couple of questions: 1. Coast Guard boat was along side of us from Cape Liberty to the Verrazano Bridge, weapon at the ready. Is this normal procedure? I thought it was pretty cool, but also a little scary... 2. @Lovetocruise2002 ....PLEEEASE tell me this is NOT the ship for your July MSC sailing!!! (sorry---I just couldn't resist).

Coast Guard runs its own policies and I know we've had a similar gunboat escort in or out of port. Skid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think when USCG patrols they always have someone in the bow. Perhaps just part of their readiness training? Here they were escorting us on Anthem when we did a NYC harbor tour before sailing under the Verrazano-Narrows bridge and out to sea. I don't find scary, kind of reassuring actually.
