Gem to Bermuda

Because of the storm, have fun!

HoopTroop

Thats a heck of a lot better than Nassau, unless you planned on going to Disney or Universal

Bermuda Monday 8am thru Wednesdays 5 pm

Not to hard to take :D

From NCL - Norwegian Gem’s itinerary for her sailing departing on August 29 will call on the Royal Naval Dockyard, Bermuda arriving on Monday at 8 am and remaining until Wednesday at 5 p.m.

.

Wish I was on board.

Happy sailing to all :)

Nice trade off. You should be thanking Mother Nature!

Safe Sailing

Its a bit of a shocker, usually cruises from NY get rerouted to Canada if there is a storm.

Its a pleasant surprise. I actually was going to put a deposit while I was on the Gem for Bermuda for next year. Now I don't have to :)

This would be a pleasant surprise if I was aboard! I envy you!

Have a great re-routed cruise!!

You may enjoy it so much you want to go back!

Tender very likely.

Last year Carnival Splendor was headed to Canada and re-routed to Bermuda. That was a nice surprise!!! :D

Last October we were rerouted opposite, we were on the Dawn and had a very nice vacation in Nassau and Great Stirrup Cay instead of Bermuda due to Hurricane Gonzalo....Only downside for us was that we only had 2 port days....

Should be able to dock Monday and Tuesday...then tender Wed. to make room for Breakaway.

Have fun. Wish I was going. I was on the Gem last Christmas and I love Bermuda, haven't been there since 2013.

With Grandeur and Dawn there on Sunday and Monday and part of Tuesday then Breakaway and Summit on Wednesday that's an awful lot of people there at one time! I'll be watching the web cam.

Lucky!!!

You might enjoy Bermuda so much, that you'll want to return next year anyway. I've done Boston to Bermuda cruises about 4 times.

Loved Bermuda, it's definitely a much nicer place to get "diverted" to - although families with kids destined for Disney for 6 hours might feel different about it ... might want to be prepared for a somewhat bumpy ride with the weather systems in play - GEM is a fast ship, capable of outrunning your typical storm doing 24 to 25 knots with gale force wind for a boost :D

Local authorities can definitely launch extra ferry services to accommodate the #'s of cruise ship pax on the islands, but - the mid-sized public transit buses are going to be a challenge, allow extra time if sightseeing on your own. The same buses are chartered for ship tours, surely they can take care of an extra ship full of pax heading their way.

The Dawn will be there Sunday through Tuesday, If a RCCL ship is also in port, the Gem might need to tender during the entire stay.

That's what I was thinking, there will be a lot of people there in Bermuda. And with the bigger ships, even more people per ship. But I am glad to be going somewhere where we can go beaching.

Tender very likely.

I think.

Tenders into Hamilton would be best for the bus system.

Woof, Horseshoe is going to look as crowded as Coney Island on the 4th of July...lol What a great diversion. Safe sailings to all.

Yea it will, but Bermuda has thousands of beaches, no reason to go the the most crowded one, lol.

Agreed. Yet majority of passangers opt to go to Horseshoe anyway..
