Have they started dredging yet?

Does anyone know if they have started to dredge North Channel to support Anthem next year?

I suspect they won't start until the current cruise season is over or nearly so. To start the dredging now could lead to disruption in the availability of the channel for use by the ships entering and leaving Bermuda. Cruise activity drops dramatically at the end of October, with only three ship calls scheduled for November and two for December.

Thanks. There is a lot of anxious people wondering if Anthem will make its cruises next summer.

When they had to rebuild Heritage Wharf to handle the Breakaway's arrival in 2013, NCL cruisers had the same level of anxiety, but all the work was done over the winter and the pier opened on time.
