My Husband & I are itching again to get away (on a RSSC) and have been tossing around the idea of their Cruise to Bermuda May 18th out of NYC as it looks like we will be in NY for a day and as we can both take the time off its just a thought ! Is there anyone here who has done this cruise or who has any opinions or info that they would like to share with me ?? Any info would be appreciated....good ...bad ...or indifferent !! Thank you

There are a few excellent reviews in the Reviews section regarding Bermuda. I am doing that cruise in August and am really looking forward to it.

CruiseWhere,
We loved Bermuda and highly recommend a taxi tour around the island. Radisson is the only cruise line that does the port of call on a weekend. Thy have it all: diving, snorkling, lots to see and a balmy tropical climate.

Thank you Loon & IUJawbreaker for your thoughts. My concerns is that I keep hearing that it is more of a floating hotel as opposed to a cruise, even though we both more than enjoyed the Navigator I don't want to lose that Cruisin Feeling.

We took the Navigator cruise to Bermuda last year, first week of June. Fantastic trip and great time of year to take it.

Cruisewhere - I hope to be on that cruise! Tim is working on time off, and hopefully the third time is the charm in terms of our free cruise.

We were on the same sailing as Marc. We enjoyed the cruise very much. I would recommend doing Bermuda this year since I think they will be limited since there are fewer RSSC ships now and the Navigator is going to do other itineraries.

Just my thoughts, as I am only 2.5 hours from Bermuda with a flight. This is one of those places I would rather do by land, given the seas that seem to be prevalent in the Atlantic at almost any given time and at least two days at sea coming and going. If you are wedded to cruising to any destination, however, what a way to get there! Norfolk and New York are not my choices for ports, as well. Once the Diamond is gone, I don't think Radisson will continue these cruises anyway. They REALLY need a new ship!

We were told by staff of Mariner that the Bermuda cruises were children heavy. Haven't done it myself.

Loved it!!!!!
We had no problems with children on our cruise last year. Of course, we were early May.
Check out the reviews I posted in the reviews section. I've kept all the Passages, etc., so if you have any questions, just give a shout.

There were less than half a dozen kids on our cruise to Bermuda in September. The number may increase during summer vacation, but CruiseWhere is looking at May.
