Bermuda is the nicest group of Islands to me in the world.

Now NCL NCLH :OTC is finally ( at what cost basis in this story is not told??) having boat service to St. George’s now.

Why has the Bermudian Governement not had other passengers allowed ( even at a larger cost) near the Ferry passage rates too?

Are the Gambling Halls aboard the Ships open and poaid the FEES too?

A trained Bermudian crew. And the reason the ferry is here is because of never knowing if the local ferry service will be running.

George I did read the post. The 400 passengers from NCL will not be looking for seats on the ferry. We would be using the tender. That would free up 400 seats on the ferry for the locals

Well Bermuda already provides more than adequate lift to Hamilton with the current ferries and buses. But the one ferry on the orange route to St. George’s is just not enough for the passenger load of these ships, therefore it is great the NCL is providing this service to their passengers. As to why the ships spend an extra day at sea, well Bermuda only has the two piers and if NCL wants to have two ships in port during a given week at their one pier, they have to balance the amount of time that they can have the ships in port.

You obviously didn’t read the article – “The tender will service NCL ships exclusively, providing added opportunities for cruise ship visitors to experience the town of St. George comfortably.”

This vessel is to be used for transporting NCL passengers only, not locals or anyone else!

Wow! I would think they wanted to give the passengers the option to see more of the island. Hamilton already has ferry access on a more regular basis.

Norwegian and the rest of the cruise lines are doing everything in their power to keep visitors away from Hamilton – and spending in restaurants, bars and shops. So they send them to a spot where the infrastructure is comparatively primitive, the intention being to keep as much money on board to spend as possible. And while they are at it, slow the ship down so it takes two days to get here but only be to get back. This is a totally unregulated industry that has gone rogue. Bermuda and other destinations are being used and abused in a most sordid way, their stupid ferry boats not withstanding. That is what is really going down.
