Horizon: Refreshingly Smaller With Grace & Warmth From March 1-8, my sister, Ronda, and I shared a wonderful first cruise adventure. My husband was on a fishing expedition with his buddies, so my sister & I decided to have our own adventure!
We flew non-stop from Chicago to Miami on American Airlines. A Celebrity Cruise Representative met us at the airport and took our luggage directing us to the area to catch the shuttle to our ship. Once we arrived at the pier, our ID's were taken, we were given cards, forms, & keys to our suite.
Yes, we had a Deluxe Oceanview Suite.
So began our week's adventure to the Caribbean which included Key West, Grand Cayman, Cozumel and Progreso, Mexico.

First Stop: Still in the USA We sailed from Miami at eight that first night, and when we woke in the morning, we were in Key West. I had been to Key West before, and I had not been pleased. However, this time, I loved it.
The photograph is of a beautiful pink Victorian that is thought to be the southernmost house in the continental United States. |

Dinner: A Gracious Event The cusine on the Horizon has been called by the critics, "some of the best cuisine afloat."
I would have to agree.
The photograph shows one of the many ice sculptures that add ambience to the elegant dinner each night |

Nice to travel with your sister. | Mikebb Thu Dec 18, 2008 21:34 UTC Enjoyed your page, full of useful info. We took our first cruise, 2007 to Alaska.
