Here’s a review from a personal blog during of one of the cruises from Rotterdam.
1/25/14 10:16am:
According to her AIS, shes reporting an arrival at Ambrose light at 04:30am EST Sunday. Ambrose is the area where the ships will typically pick up the harbor pilot for entrance into New York harbor. Interesting fact, when the Blue Ribband was awarded, the trophy for fastest transatlantic crossing, they used Ambrose as the starting/finishing point for New York.
