Cape Liberty Cruise Port Opens!
Hi Everyone,
I received this press release from Royal Caribbean and thought it would be of interest. If you have missed any of my news' postings, they are available on my web site. Best regards, Ray LIGHTHOUSE TRAVEL 800-719-9917 or 805-566-3905 http://www.lighthousetravel.com Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. Officially Opens Cape Liberty Cruise Port in New Jersey Bayonne Facility to Serve as Seasonal Homeport to Two Ships BAYONNE, N.J., May 14 Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. officially opened the country's newest cruise port today -- Cape Liberty Cruise Port in Bayonne, N.J. Cape Liberty will serve as a seasonal homeport to two of the company's ships, including the 3,114-passenger Voyager of the Seas, which departs on May 16 for its first cruise from the Northeast. The ceremony included remarks from New Jersey Governor James E. McGreevey and other state and local dignitaries, including Congressman Robert Menendez, New Jersey Department of Commerce and Economic Growth Commissioner William D. Watley, Bayonne Mayor Joseph V. Doria, Jr., and Bayonne Local Redevelopment Authority Chairman Howard Fitch. Royal Caribbean Chairman and CEO Richard Fain signaled the official opening of the port by ringing an authentic ship bell from one of the famed World War II Victory ships, which sailed from Bayonne's Military Ocean Terminal. "This is a momentous occasion for our company, and we could not have asked for better partners in making Cape Liberty Cruise Port a reality than the state of New Jersey and the City of Bayonne," Fain said. "We are proud to be part of the revitalization program for the Bayonne waterfront, and we are pleased to offer our guests a convenient new departure point, which is attractive to both drive-market guests and those arriving by air." "The City of Bayonne is proud to welcome Royal Caribbean," Mayor Doria said. "Today, we are honored to be the first New Jersey community in 40 years to serve as a homeport for passenger cruise ships. We look forward to this exciting new chapter in the history of Bayonne." Cape Liberty Cruise Port is located at the northeast corner of the former Bayonne Military Ocean Terminal, now renamed The Peninsula at Bayonne Harbor, a 430-acre, man-made peninsula that extends into New York Harbor. Future plans for the Peninsula at Bayonne Harbor call for a vibrant mixed-use waterfront development comprised of residential, light industrial and office space, film studios, a riverwalk and extensive recreational and park areas. The new cruise port offers guests outstanding views of the harbor, the Verrazano Narrows Bridge, the Statue of Liberty and lower Manhattan. Royal Caribbean has renovated existing structures for use in the immediate future. Long-term plans call for construction of a new cruise terminal and supporting facilities. Royal Caribbean will base two ships at the new port from May through October 2004. Voyager of the Seas offers an alternating schedule of five- night Canada and nine-night Caribbean cruises. Empress of the Seas offers alternating six-night and eight-night Bermuda itineraries. Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. is a global cruise vacation company that operates Royal Caribbean International and Celebrity Cruises, with a combined total of 29 ships in service and one under construction. The company also offers unique cruisetour vacations in Alaska, Canada and Europe. Additional information can be found by contacting your travel professional. |

Cape Liberty Cruise Port Opens!
NPR made a little joke about it this morning about all the exotic places
they sail now, such as Jamaica, the Virgin Islands, the Bahamas, and now New Jersey. They even mentioned that Royal Caribbean doesn't call it Bayonne, New Jersey, but rather Port Liberty.

Though in fairness... there are places in New York that are referred to by specific names like South Street Seaport. And look at Ft. Lauderdale. It's port is called Port Everglades. The area around Jersey City and Bayonne has the Statue of Liberty a few hundred feet off shore, plus it has Liberty State Park and the Liberty Science Center. So the term Liberty does have relevance there. They even added the name to the airport. --Tom |

Actually, Hispaniola is the name of the island. The Dominican Republic
occupies two thirds of the island of Hispaniola and the other third is Haiti. Labadee sits the north coast of Hispaniola, surrounded by beautiful mountain slopes and exotic foliage. Candy -- is really bored this morning (or is that borING?) Tom & Linda wrote: "Thomas Smith" -NO-SPAM wrote in message ...
