superduper123 Posted September 29, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Why are there no Royal cruises from Port Canaveral (or anywhere in Florida) to Bermuda? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tin can Posted September 29, 2018 #2 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Looks about 50% further from Florida than New York so perhaps too many days at sea to make a 5 or 7 day cruise appealing. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msmayor Posted September 29, 2018 #3 Share Posted September 29, 2018 It's too far to make sense for a one-week cruise. Most folks who head to Bermuda like the fact that ships can dock there overnight for 1-3 nights and that can't happen with the extra distance a ship needs to travel from south Florida. We cruised there from NY and left on a Sunday, arrived Bermuda at 1pm on Tuesday and stayed until noon Friday. It was one of my favorite cruises because we had lots of time to explore without the pressure of getting back to the ship before it sailed off.

Clarea Posted September 29, 2018 #4 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Why are there no Royal cruises from Port Canaveral (or anywhere in Florida) to Bermuda? They had one or two from Port Everglades last year. It's just not a run that Royal has done regularly. Try MSC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molly361 Posted September 29, 2018 #5 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Carnival also had a couple out of PC to Bermuda this year. They have 3 seven nigh sailings next September Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corby114 Posted September 29, 2018 #6 Share Posted September 29, 2018 The dock in Bermuda can only hold two ships at one time there. Also, ships leaving from the northeast are closer than ships leaving from ports in Florida. The last thing regarding Bermuda is the fact that their government doesn’t want there country being overrun with too many tourists at a time. They regulate how many visitors can visit at certain times. Bermuda takes tourism very seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corby114 Posted September 29, 2018 #7 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I also just remembered that most larger ships can’t enter the harbor in Hamilton because the port is relatively small and can’t handle the bigger ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelblu Posted September 29, 2018 #8 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I may be dating myself, but when I began cruising, I loved sailing in a smaller ship (Bermuda Star) and dock in St George. It was walking distance to Horseshoe Bay Beach, not as crowded, and easy to take busses to Hamilton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mafig Posted September 29, 2018 #9 Share Posted September 29, 2018 We did one on Costa several years ago out of Florida (Miami or Pt Everglades). It was great. I think we spent three days there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarpeCerevisi Posted September 29, 2018 #10 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Port Canaveral is over 250 nm further than Bayonne. That’s well over a day’s sailing in each direction. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superduper123 Posted September 29, 2018 Author #12 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Thanks everyone for the feedback. I wonder if Royal will ever offer this in the future, as it seems that a few other cruise lines do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a LONG walk to Horseshoe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
