Voyager to Bermuda & Carib From NJ!

Hi Everyone,

I have received information from a usually reliable source. Royal
Caribbean International's Voyager of the Seas will be sailing a 5-day
itinerary to Bermuda in 2005 alternating with a 9-day Caribbean
itinerary. Both of these sailings will embark from Cape Liberty.
Because of the Voyager's size, she will be limited to King's Wharf in
Bermuda. The Caribbean itinerary will include Labadee, Ocho Rios,
Grand Cayman & Freeport. She is scheduled to sail these itineraries
between May 15th and November 13th, 2005. If you have missed any of
my news' postings, they are available on my web site.

Best regards,

Ray, I heard that 3 weeks ago but it will not be offically announced until
June.

My source was also very reliable.

for 2005.

With the traditional 4 day Bermuda stay on a 7 night sailing, the middle two
days are whole days while the first and last days are about 2/3rds days.
However, with Voyager's 5 night itinerary, you'll basically get about 1 1/2
days in Bermuda. You'll get there roughly 11:00 am one day, overnight
there, and leave around 2:00 in the afternoon the next day.

That's not a great itinerary by any means. Plus you're at the Wharf.

It's basically a little more attractive in "name" than the Canada sailing.
They'll be able to charge more money than for Canada, but you won't get much
time in Bermuda.

I guess I'd do it for a quick get away, and/or to go on a Voyager ship, but
I wouldn't pick that if I wanted to do Bermuda.

Is Bermuda relaxing their restrictions on the number of cruise ship
passengers allowed at one time?

They should also try to arrange for more Express Ferries between the
Dockyard and Hamilton.

I agree a 5 day Bermuda cruise is a waste of time! johnny

True. But the last word from my DSM this week was it may be changed.
