Bermuda cruises - what's the attraction?
-Boating.
-Shopping. -Raising cane on the moped (children and old folks N/A). -Go to a pub and enjoy some local talent. -Just about anything else you would do on a non snow based and non gambling based vacation (don't include the ships casino and if you are gambling happy, you are in Vegas or some other gambling mecca). Let me add to the list: -Tennis -Golf -Spa -Tourist attractions like museums, perfume factory, botanical gardens, crystal and lemminginton caves, Gibbs and St. David's Lighthouses etc. etc. (if you have already seen them, GO AGAIN!) -Fishing -Eating ('cmon, this is a vacation, go ahead and pig out!) -Sex (always better in Bermuda) -Party (children, old folks and straight folk N/A) -Anything I forgot, so I don't have to keep adding to the list |

Bermuda cruises - what's the attraction?
Subject: Bermuda cruises - what's the attraction?
With the ship virtually shut down at night how much walking around can you do. Sunny: I've done numerous cruises to Bermuda. The ship is not virtually shut down at night. There is always something going on... just the casino is closed. There are various historic sights.... some very nice art galleries.. the Botanical gardens.. the Crystal Caves... the Perfumery... shopping!!! there's all sorts of things to do. I'll never tire of visiting Bermuda. Babette |

They loved it. There is golf, hiking, sailing, shopping etc.
Don't forget Horseback riding. Nothing like cruising in the saddle over the sand by Horseshoe Bay :-) |

Bermuda cruises - what's the attraction?
You know Lloyd, I've asked myself that same question many many times.
We've been on 41 cruises, with several more already booked, and never once have we considered doing Bermuda. A major part of my cruising experience is the enjoyment of post-dinner night life. A docked ship in two Bermuda ports w/o all of this is not for me. I never say never, but................. Arlene ---probably won't be going to Bermuda any time soon Lloyd Parsons wrote: From time to time there are postings here about Bermuda cruises that ooh and aah over whichever line is going and where. But virtually every one of the Bermuda cruises that I read about here all indicate that it is just taking your hotel with you to Bermuda. A hotel, I might add, that has extremely small rooms! So why do Bermuda with a cruise and not just a land vacation? And for that matter, what is there that makes Bermuda so attractive as a vacation spot at all for more than a couple days? This curious mind wants to know. |

Bermuda hotel rates are out of this world!
And so is a vacation to the Island. Then add meals... air transportation........ wheew..... As already said by some others, instead of taking a bird, getting there by ship is a better choice for those counting pennies. |

Yeah. And we forgot the Maritime Museum
Really cool Titanic display there (at last check). If it is gone, then I am sure there is something just as interesting in it's place. On a side note, on one of Glenn's many trips there (this particular trip was a long time ago), his brother brought back a Chameleon and kept it at home until the next trip where he brought it back to the same spot where it was caught on along the driveway to Gibb's and released it. Try that on a plane (or a ship) these days! |

Right, and for those into that kind of thing there is now a Dolphin
swim. That has recently been moved. Used to be a great Dolphin Show (not like the swim-with-them one of late in Paget) at Grotto Bay. Great swim-up bar in the pool too. We really miss the old days though. Used to run into the late Jackie Gleason (from the Honeymooners) at Elbow Beach all the time. We also saw the first Bermuda Stroller's show there too. |
