2Cruise4Ever Posted June 10, 2008 #1 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Hi, all, Live aboard the NCL Dawn. Rumor has it that there is a ferry and bus strike planned for tomorrow. Anyone know the details? If so, I guess we'll hit snorkel park instead of St. Catherine's Beach tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicgirl63 Posted June 11, 2008 #2 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I haven't heard anything, but I'll do a search and post if I find anything. Take care of the ship, I'm there next week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicgirl63 Posted June 11, 2008 #3 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Here's the scoop. Evidently a driver got fired after actions he took when someone flipped him off. Anyways he didn't react well and was fired hence the strike. However, he was rehired and the strike is over so no worries!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesea777 Posted June 12, 2008 #4 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Huh ... that happened on May 8th - for a couple of hours or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicgirl63 Posted June 12, 2008 #5 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I don't know where she heard it, she's on the ship right now. I just googled the strike, and there was something about June 11th. Perhaps the one didn't match up with the other. Is there anything that would have started a current rumor??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herb Posted June 12, 2008 #6 Share Posted June 12, 2008 considering that today is the 12th, we might hear from someone who knows whether it happened or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iheartbda Posted June 12, 2008 #7 Share Posted June 12, 2008 considering that today is the 12th, we might hear from someone who knows whether it happened or not. There's been nothing in the newspaper and a transportation strike always hits the front page. Rumors can start based on practically nothing...maybe someone mentioned the strike in June saying they hoped there wouldn't be another one and it took off from there.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugar*Magnolia Posted June 12, 2008 #8 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I hope it is a rumor and nothing more.......a little more than 2 weeks and Bermuda bound! :D :) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iheartbda Posted June 12, 2008 #9 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I hope it is a rumor and nothing more.......a little more than 2 weeks and Bermuda bound! :D :) :D I don't think you have anything to worry about. The strike that was in May, like bluesea said, lasted for only a couple of hours. I could be wrong, but transportation strikes don't seem to be the norm in Bermuda.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Cruise4Ever Posted June 16, 2008 Author #10 Share Posted June 16, 2008 OK, don't know the details, but the captain did announce that the strike that was originally scheduled for Wednesday was postponed to sometime later this week. We asked a driver about it. She said that strikes happen all the time. But, they only last a couple of hours. And, yes, the bus strike took place on Tuesday this week. Again, only for 2 hours. A minor inconvenience, and they never happen during peak hours, usually around lunch time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
