Celebrity Horizon: NYC - Bermuda Cruise

In May, 2002, we attended a "Seminar at Sea" with Chris Donatelli. Chris is a District Sales Manager for Royal Caribbean/Celebrity Cruise Lines. It was a 7 day sailing out of New York to Bermuda on the Celebrity Horizon.

                   Our first taste of food after we reached the ship.

The Celebrity Zenith, berthed next to the Horizon. This "sister ship" of the Horizon

From the deck of the Horizon we had a great view of the Manhattan Skyline

The "Bon Voyage" drinks were excellent with the festive music                  

Sailing away from the pier we had a great view of the USS Intrepid Floating Museum

The southern end of Manhattan Island. The Two Towers are very much missed

               Battery park and many high rise buildings were easy to see

The gateway out of the NYC Harbor, the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge
