Things Have Changed in Bermuda

Things have changed in Bermuda. There was a time when the island had more cruise business than it could handle and they were choosy about which cruise lines they let in and which they didn't. They only wanted the “right” kind of vacationer. Then cruise lines from the Northeast discovered other destinations. After a few very lean years, Bermuda is now excited when their cruise business grows, and it is open to just about any line that schedules a call.

That said, the government released the 2018 port schedule for cruise calls and they are excited the business is growing, particularly in the off-season.

Call Them Maybe, If You Want to Go to Mexico and Be Entertained

Carnival has signed Carly Rae Jepsen to appear aboard Carnival Splendor during the February 17 seven-night Mexican Riviera cruise from Long Beach.
