See Bermuda the most convenient & less expensive way ! Carnival just announced ONE SAILING for 2015 … Out of Norfolk !





So many folks talk of the idea of wanting to go to Bermuda.  Sandy beautiful beaches … Clear blue waters … Golfing … Shopping !  It has a British flare !  And one of the cleanlier islands to visit.  Yet, when they look at airfare and hotel/resort cost, they often take a turn about.

This is why so many choose the more convenient and less expensive of way, to visit Bermuda … By cruise ship !  No added airfare to go all the way to Bermuda; your sleeping accommodations are right there onboard; and all your meals.   You can even stay out all night, when the ship is in port.  So WHY NOT !

Bermuda is only 21 miles long.  You can choose to rent a moped (they drive on the opposite side of the road) and even park you moped (and lock it up) outside of the ship.  Or what I do, is get the bus and ferry pass.  I love taking the ferry to St George and especially Hamilton !  All the beautiful pastel color homes you'll see on the way !  The bus is a little longer, however, this is how folks stop off at the beaches !

 
I have several clients, who love going to Bermuda, almost yearly.  They have the same love for Bermuda as I have for Alaska !

And like Alaska, cruising to Bermuda is seasonal … April to October.  With being only seasonal, this causes a high supply & demand !

There are several embarkation ports, with most being in the mid to north east ports.  Norwegian cruises out of Boston and New York.  Royal Caribbean has 5 nights out of Bayonne, NJ and 6 and 7 nights out of Baltimore. And Celebrity is cruising out of Bayonne, NJ.

Space goes quickly out of these ports.  Matter of fact, I only have 4 ocean view cabins left for September 12, 2014, on Royal Caribbean’s Grandeur of the Seas, out of Baltimore.  These are category H, from $ 539 + govt fees.  And each cabin receives $75 to spend onboard.

Mostly, the cruises go directly to Bermuda and stay from 1-2 nights.  However, there are a small number of cruises which are longer, which include a day in Bermuda, and then make calls to other ports.

The minimal number of cruises that sail out of Florida, also include other ports.  There’s Royal Caribbean, for a 10 night sailing in June, August, and September, from Ft Lauderdale.  Oceania has a 12 night in April from Miami.  Regent Seven Seas has an April sailing in 2014, out of Miami, and they have already announced an April sailing in 2015.  And Silver Seas has announced a 13 night in April 2015 from Ft Lauderdale.


However, the most exciting sailing that has been announced, so far for 2015, is Carnival … Out of Norfolk … For one sailing ONLY … October 23 !  Talk about supply and demand … Once folks get insight about this cruise, space will start selling like hot cakes.  Like many agents, I too have reserved 48 cabins for this sailing !  Call today !
