Leonid Posted June 22, 2011 #1 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Anyone want to venture a guess as to why O dropped Bermuda from the Riviera TA itinerary? DW and I were really looking forward to the stop. No deal breaker though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted June 22, 2011 #2 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Maybe they discovered it would take more time or fuel to go north from Spain then south to Miami:confused::confused::confused: Just my guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a response!! Back to your rude self I see:eek: how can it be dropped if it was never in the itinerary Some of the other TA's still have Bermuda just not the one you are on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said that Bermuda was part of the itinerary..it just seemed strange that it would be deleted for a day at sea.Just wanted feedback on my question. And no, I doubt it was for fuel reasons. And yes, I am aware that other itineraries do include the Bermuda stop. Not his one. Again, that was the purpose of my original post. Clear enough.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted June 23, 2011 #7 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Most TA's to Miami start the crossing from the Azores so hitting Bermuda is not a problem As noted the other TA's going to MIA DO stop in Bermuda Your cruise goes further down the coast to the Canaries so going straight to Miami is more of a direct route Lyn BTW your statement DW and I were really looking forward to the stop. No deal breaker though. implied that it was in the itinerary when you booked which it was not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wripro Posted June 23, 2011 #8 Share Posted June 23, 2011 The implication of the original post was that Bermuda had originally been on the itinerary and subsequently removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gillianrose Posted June 23, 2011 #10 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I agree that the implication of the original post is that Bermuda was listed on the itinerary and then "dropped", otherwise the question would have been "I wonder why Bermuda was not included in the itinerary." You can't drop a ball from your hand that is not first in your hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonid Posted June 23, 2011 Author #11 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Unbelievable. Three peas in the same pod. Did any of you ever take a course in logic. Appears not.

MightyQuinn Posted June 23, 2011 #14 Share Posted June 23, 2011 We're booked on that Riviera TA and I had to double-check our itinerary when I read the post! I also thought that somehow Bermuda was in and now was out. But sure enough, it was never there. I guess Leonid was asking why Oceania decided to not include Bermuda on this particular TA, since they usually have in the past. No biggie.

Amazing.:rolleyes: I do not think logic comes into play here You assumed people would know what you were talking about. Insulting people will not make it right I am standing by my post Most TA's to Miami start the crossing from the Azores so hitting Bermuda is not a problem As noted the other TA's going to MIA DO stop in Bermuda Your cruise goes further down the coast to the Canaries so going straight to Miami is more of a direct route If you really want the correct answer you should contact the powers that be & ask YOU assumed the cruise was going to Bermuda Nuff said :rolleyes: Lyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing.:rolleyes: You said "Anyone want to venture a guess as to why O dropped Bermuda from the Riviera TA itinerary?" You assumed that Oceania's Trans Atlantic itinerary was going to include Bermuda and it doesn't. That does not mean it was "dropped." P.S. I got straight A's in logic courses.

YoHoHo Posted June 24, 2011 #17 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Marina's Maiden Voyage was from Barcelona to Miami. It did not stop in Bermuda (unfortunately) & it not was it on the itinerary (also unfortunately.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floridiana Posted June 24, 2011 #18 Share Posted June 24, 2011 You guys are really polite and patient which makes me look forward to my first cruise with Oceania's Regatta in the fall - whose first stop, by the way, is Bermuda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On our only visit there we too were there in the late Fall. The weather was perfect though every one who lived there thought it to be cooold. The beaches were empty and beautiful. If you have not sailed into Hamilton before, or even if you have, make sure you are on deck. It is a very beautiful harbour and you'll cruise so close to the coastline, pastel coloured homes and islets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floridiana Posted June 24, 2011 #21 Share Posted June 24, 2011 We sailed there before on a ship small enough to enter St. George's harbor, Hamilton and finally King's Wharf where the big ships dock. I am always up and out when we approach, enter and leave a port. After all, that's one of the major reasons why I take the cruise.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am always up and out when we approach, enter and leave a port. After all, that's one of the major reasons why I take the cruise.:) Wow - that would be great to sail into St George's Harbour. Regatta docked at Hamilton Harbour - right on Front street. Walk off the ship and that is it. Sailing past King's Wharf and curving through Great Sound, past all the small islands and wonderful homes and scenery into Hamilton that I thought was so spectacular. Having cruised into the Great Sound already I am sure you can appreciate that I'd love to do that again. If sailing into the harbour for St George's was like it would be double the incentive to go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
