Does such a cruise exist?

[bling19572010]

I am looking for a two week cruise itinerary that would give us back-to-back cruises (without having to change ships or cabins) and be able to visit Bermuda and the Southern Caribbean ports? We will be sailing in early April or May 2013. Is there such a cruise?

[BillOh]

I like using Royals website because its a lot like gambling but with no risks. I did see 12 night cruises out of Baltimore on Enchantment 4/1 and 4-13. That was as close as I could come.

 

The 4/13 is cheaper as it ends in Port Canaveral, I guess thats when Enchantment replaces Monarch.

You could do Explorer in May but it would be bermuda and Eastern...

 

what Southern ports are you looking at???

[megr1125]

That EN repo is a nice itinerary but no Bermuda....

 

I looked at X too but Summit only does 7 night BDA from Cape Liberty

Ports such as Aruba, Bonaire, St. Kitts, Dominica, Grenada. We've been to Barbados, St. Lucia, Antiqua, St. Marteen, St. Thomas. That's not to say that if we also revisited some of those same ports that we would mind.

 

Thanks.

Nope....those are too far south to get to from the Northeast in a reasonable amount of time (some of them...not all...)

 

Closest is the B2B on EX to Bermuda...and then Eastern....or the repo on Enchantment.....It would be fun though...(however not I am not a big fan of Grenada....) LOVE Aruba though..

 

OH wait...there is an EX that does BDA (day stop only..) then does St Maarten, San Juan and Labadee...????)

 

you could tack on another Bermuda ... hee hee just a thought!

Your only option I can see in the April/May 2013 time-frame on RCCL to see both Bermuda and anything in the Caribbean on a closed loop B2B would be:

 

Take a 5 night cruises on Explorer:

Cape Liberty Cruise Port, New Jersey; Kings Wharf, Bermuda; Cape Liberty Cruise Port, New Jersey

 

Combined with one of the following:

 

Option1:

April 18, 2013 - 9 night Explorer:

Cape Liberty Cruise Port, New Jersey; Kings Wharf, Bermuda; Philipsburg, St. Maarten; Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas; San Juan, Puerto Rico; Cape Liberty Cruise Port, New Jersey

 

Option 2:

May 2, 16, or 30 - 9 night on Exlorer:

Cape Liberty Cruise Port, New Jersey; Kings Wharf, Bermuda; Philipsburg, St. Maarten; San Juan, Puerto Rico; Labadee, Haiti; Cape Liberty Cruise Port, New Jersey

 

The 5 nighter can be taken before or after the 9 night cruises.

If you don't care if the cruise is closed loop, you can do Grandeur's Northbound re-positioning to Baltimore combined with a 7 night Bermuda cruise. There are actually 4 separate cruises (you could do a B2B2B2B with no duplication of ports). Depending on where you get on, though, it could be significantly more than 2 weeks:

 

April 15 - 6 night:

Cartagena, Colombia; Kralendijk, Bonaire; Willemstad, Curacao; Oranjestad, Aruba; Colon, Panama

 

April 21 - 3 night:

Colon, Panama; San Juan, Puerto Rico

 

April 24 - 9 night:

San Juan, Puerto Rico; Philipsburg, St. Maarten; Basseterre, St. Kitts; St. John's, Antigua; Tortola, British Virgin Islands; Samana, Dominican Republic; Labadee, Haiti; Baltimore, Maryland

 

May 3 - 7 night:

Baltimore, Maryland; Kings Wharf, Bermuda; Baltimore, Maryland

I realize that the following information doesn't fall within your preferred dates but if you have any flexibility in choosing when you sail you might find these cruises of interest:

The annual Fall repositioning cruises from Boston to Tampa (Jewel in 2012 and Brilliance in 2013) don't include Bermuda but do go to several of the islands you have listed including St.Kitts, Barbados, Aruba and Curacao among others. They are 14 nights in length and are very popular.

You might also consider the 11 night Brilliance cruise in October, 2012 which repositions from Quebec City to Port Liberty in New Jersey, via Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Bar Harbor and Portland,Maine, and then sails from Bayonne to San Juan, Puerto Rico on a special 8 night cruise that visits St. Kitts, St. Maarten, Tortola, and St. Thomas.

That is definitely the perfect cruise but the price is a little steep for me. Are the prices per cabin or per person?

 

Thank you!

I believe they're per person. However, Silversea is an AI cruiseline, so I'm not sure how you'd compare rates. BTW, they're too rich for my blood, too;)

You can do it on a Celebrity Ship.

 

 

Celebrity Summit April 20, 2013 7 night Souther Carribean

 

Starts in Puerto Rico

 

Barbados

Antigua

St. Lucia

St. Marteen

St. Thomas

 

Ends in Puerto Rico

 

Celebrity Summit April 27, 2013 8 night Reposititioning

 

Starts in Puerto Rico

 

St. Marteen

St. Thomas

Tortola, BVI

Bermuda (over night)

 

Ends at Cape Liberty, Bayonne, NJ

 

 

I take the repositioning cruise every year, it is a blast. It is a very unique iteinerary and a great ship and staff. And the prices are astonishingly good right now......its almost cheaper to go on the cruise than to stay home :)

[megr1125]

Cheryl...good idea

Check Azamara too. Just today I was doodling on their site and saw in either Nov, Dec or Jan (those are the months I was looking at and I can't remember cause it wasn't what I was looking for) I think there was a TA from Spain that included Bermuda and at least MIA:confused: maybe further south. Just saw your question and since the search was fresh in my mind, thought I'd mention it.

[3DobermansDZS]

Princess does (usually in May and October) on the Caribbean Princess:

 

Oct 27th: 4 night Bermuda r/t from New York

Oct 31st: 10 night "Caribbean Islander" from NY that goes to some Southern Caribbean.

 

They also do the opposite in May. We did the repo from San Juan to New York that had a stop in Bermuda last May. The week before we got on, the Caribbean Princess was doing the Southern Caribbean route.

 

We had a blast on the repo cruise last year!

May 3 - 7 night:

This is a dream cruise!!! :D If I was rich, I'd book this right now; will have to keep my eye on it and see if I can do even half of it.

Thank you. The only comment that I have about this cruise is that it isn't long enough for us.
