Royal Caribbean Jewel of the Seas goes Under the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge connecting New York City

#JewelOfTheSeas #RoyalCaribbean #RoyalWow #Cruise #Cruising #ComeSeek #jewel One of the fun things about going on a cruise which leaves from New Jersey or New York is going under the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge! The Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge (/vərəˈzɑːnoʊ/ vər-ə-ZAH-noh) is a suspension bridge connecting the New York City boroughs of Staten Island and Brooklyn. It spans the Narrows, a body of water linking the relatively enclosed Upper New York Bay with Lower New York Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. It is the only fixed crossing of the Narrows. The double-deck bridge carries 13 lanes of Interstate 278, with seven lanes on the upper level and six on the lower level. The span is named for Giovanni da Verrazzano, who in 1524 was the first European explorer to enter New York Harbor and the Hudson River.
