Luxury Cruise Liner Makes First Visit
The British-registered luxury cruise liner “Queen Victoria”, took pilot at 06:54LT yesterday [Apr.2] for Heritage Wharf in Dockyard, making her first visit to Bermuda en route from Nassau to the Azores.
She arrived carrying 1912 passengers and 970 crew, and departed yesterday afternoon at 5:00pm. The 964ft long, 90,049t vessel entered service for Cunard in 2007, and boasts ornate marble staircases, a 3 tier grand lobby, and a 6,000 title library was named by Camilla Duchess of Cornwall in December 2007.
nice boat. I wonder if there is any way to guage how much the average boat tourist spent during their visit. Hummmmmmmm not much I bet. Nelson, Brian, and the other guy better get crackin on Morgans Point.
This Boat is not the typical $299 cruise, first off its Cunard = very high end, second, Its Trans-Atlantic = very expansive, and Third, I beleive it embarked from Charlston SC = alot of old money, not Nassau Bahamas, I bet these people dropped far more $$ than your average cruiser onto Bermuda.
drop the $$ on what?
I personally took 4 visitors to Tuckers Point, they play golf had lunch and paid me. Golf $230×4, Taxi $120, Lunch $150, tip $75… I returned them to Dockyard and dropped them at the Clocktower Mall when they likely dropped a few more dollars. Is this some sort of debate? Any visitor is a good visitor about now.
Tell ‘em Mixitup!
Anyone who wants to spend money anywhere right about now?…come on over to Bermuda. Thanks. Leave your money here when you go.
Look at the Queen Vic….nice to see ol girl!
