Will there be any cabins, when VA cruisers discover Carnival’s “one” sailing to Bermuda …




It’s been the buzz word for the last 6 months in reference to Carnival’s “one” 7 night sailing to Bermuda from Norfolk in 2015.  Will there still be cabin space when cruisers discover this opportunity ?

Though many folks believe it’s better to wait and buy last minute, this does not stand true for those “supply and demand” sailings.  And it looks like October 23, 2015 will be one of those sailings.

Group space has been gone for this sailing for many months now.  And individual space through Carnival is getting slim !  Matter of fact, when you look online at Carnival, their balconies are SOLD OUT !

It only makes sense that this cruise is popular !  First of all, no cruise ships sailed from Norfolk in 2014.  Not only bad for the Virginia economy, this made it a further distance to drive, for Virginia cruisers to embark for a cruise.
Secondly, it’s been years since a cruise left Norfolk and went to Bermuda.  This alone makes this a very exciting opportunity for cruisers.  Especially for those folks who have planned early !

FYI ...There are many folks who are flying into Norfolk, and taking this time to see Williamsburg while they are here.  Sounds like a lot of fun for a lot of folks !

 
Bermuda is a great place to cruise to !  First of all it is British owned, so the island is cleanlier than islands you might venture to in the Caribbean.  Bermuda is well known for its beaches and golf.  Naturally this is attractive to beach lovers and golfers.   AND SHOPPERS !
And there’s the famous Rum Swizzles and now there are 2 Rum Swizzle Restaurant locations.  And have you heard of their famous ‘Dark-N-Stormy’ drink ?  You will be able to find Gosling’s Brothers store in Hamilton and yes, they carry several sizes of the  Black Seal Rum (dark rum).

And though non-resident can not rent a car here, you and rent a moped or purchase a ferry/bus passes and easily get around.  There are 3 most popular area’s to visit, the ship is docked in one … The Dock Yard (Wharf).  The other two, Hamilton and St George.  To learn more … You should plan to come sail along with those of us “who bought early” !
 
Oh, and did I tell you that the ship will be in Bermuda for 3 days ?  Yes, and you can come & go as you please.  Eat onboard or eat on the island and return late or stay out all night !

So what will this mean to those folks who have yet to hear about this sailing ? It will probably be too late, when they hear about it, to find space and climb onboard.
Yes, it’s over 13 months till sailing and this ship is almost full !

However, don’t panic, there are agencies who have space.  However, you better plan to have credit card in hand, when you find one of these agencies.
For a limited time, Cruises Inc in Lynchburg, VA has 5 balconies left.   There’s some inside too !  Prices is too good to post !  Did I say limited time ?  Too low to post ?
Plan to call today !
