RCCL going to Bermuda FROM FLORIDA!!


PH8

Recommended Posts

I "heard" a rumor. This is so awesome. If only we actually lived in FL. :( Some day maybe they'll try it in the winter months for us snowbirds!!

 

What a fabulous itinerary!!!

Not sure they'd do it in winter as Bermuda can be pretty cold then.

On the beautiful

Vision

of the

Seas

®

, you’ll never lose sight of why you came onboard – thanks to endless

windows that immerse you in the coastal scenery and wide open sea. More relaxing moments can be

had at the VitalitySMSpa, boasting treatments from massages to acupuncture, or at the sunlit Solarium

pool – the perfect adults-only retreat. At-sea adventure more your style? Then try your luck at the Casino

Royale®, catch a spectacular Broadway-style show, or see what the evening holds at eight bars and

lounges across the ship. It’s all here – on one amazing vacation.

That's OK, I found it.:)

 

I love this itinerary. How's the Vision? It's smaller, right? That's probably one of the reasons the balconies (at least in June) are so expensive.

 

I showed it to DH and he was, of course:o, drawn to the cheapest priced itinerary. But August/Sept. would mean months of worrying about hurricanes.

That's good news for souther cruisers who want to go to Bermuda but don't want to travel up north for the Bermuda cruises.

 

The iten looks great except for one miserable port, Nassau? As if Florida cruisers haven't been to Nassua a few too many times already :-)

I booked the June 9 sailing this evening. I jumped at this itinerary. Loved my first visit to Bermuda this past August on Summit but wanted an RCI ship this time. The other RCI ships Grandeur and Explorer only stay 2 days so get a longer stay with Vision,:)

We have Grandeur booked for August 15th. Grandeur gets in around 3pm on Sunday and leaves Tuesday evening. Sunday is a bit of dead time but you are still there early enough to explore the dockyards and do a little shopping. Vision based upon the itinerary doesn't get in until 6 pm but is in during the week which is a bonus. Vision is there only a few couple of hours less than Grandeur.

Sounded great until I saw that you arrive in Bermuda at 6:30 PM so basically just in time to do dinner and nothing else. Then on day 3 you have to be back onboard at 2:30. So you really aren't getting much extra "island time".

 

But so very glad to see RC developing new itineraries!!!

Oh boy. I wonder how the conservationists in Charleston are going to react. They've been on an all out war with Carnival for a few years now, claiming that cruise ships are destroying the historical district and increasing crime.

 

It will be interesting to see if they boycott Royal Caribbean too, or if their fight is strictly against Carnival.

This is only 3 cruises -- 3 separate days in Charleston.

10 day leaving on a Monday is a work schedule killer. I could do without the Bahamas for a more work friendly itinerary, but I am glad they are running it because to otherwise go requires flying to Baltimore or NJ currently, and Fort Lauderdale is a 30 minute drive.

 

I will get to Bermuda one day :)

I live in Halifax Nova Scotia, the Maritimes love the cruise ships as they are great for our economy.

Saw this itinery when searching for Bermuda cruises, which is still on my bucket list, it was the Charleston port that made it look more interesting for me.

If Charleston is what interests you, Azamara has a cruise this December that spends three days there that you might want to check into. It's pretty reasonably priced, relatively speaking, and if you're Platinum or above, you'll get equivalent status with them.
