HOW TO SELECT THE IDEAL BERMUDA CRUISE

By: David Kelly

Cruising around the world to exotic locations, on giant ocean liners, can be the most exciting vacation you\'ll ever experience. But it may surprise you that you don\'t necessarily have to travel too far, because a perfect Bermuda cruise can spirit you away to crystal clear tropical waters and spectacular pink sandy beaches, and all this only six hundred miles off the coast of South Carolina.

But what is considered a perfect cruise for young singles could prove to be a nightmare for families with small children. Similarly, seniors may find a more sedate and relaxed pace to be perfect for their taste, while honeymooning couples headed for Bermuda could easily find the same atmosphere to be extremely unromantic.

This article will examine some of the important elements that go into making the ideal Bermuda cruise, and the specific programs and amenities that ensure each different group has the best possible experience.

For example, singles will generally consider the ideal Bermuda cruise to be one that allows them to party all night long. But the fact is the majority of cruise ships only have about a half a dozen bars or lounges, although one Bermuda cruise contains an astonishing sixteen bars and lounges. Can I hear you say PARTY? Well it doesnt take a genius to recognize which cruise ship the singles crowd will have more fun on.

The same goes for swimming pools, one pool doesn\'t make for a whole lot of action, and it\'s obvious that singles would find it far more perfect on one of only two Bermuda cruises that have FOUR separate swimming pools.

Families on the other hand, have a very different idea of what the perfect Bermuda cruise should be like. Fortunately for most parents, when the sun goes down the majority of the cruises offer a baby sitting service. Unfortunately for a few unlucky souls, one cruise line doesn\'t offer such a service. It would be extremely disappointing, and very far from perfect for a family to be booked on that Bermuda trip.

On the other hand, teens don't like being trapped with their family throughout the day, so it's an ideal situation that a number of Bermuda cruise lines offer 'Teen Shore Excursions' to allow them to venture off, under qualified supervision of course, but in the company of people their own age. Any parent of a teen would definitely benefit from being on one of the ships offering this service.

Not surprisingly, a retired seniors' concept of the ideal Bermuda cruise is totally different than that of singles and families. They prefer to take things at a more leisurely pace.

Many seniors really enjoy the cultural enrichment classes offered by some cruises, but not all companies offer such diversity as painting, photography and wine tasting. Some Bermuda cruise ships don't even offer any enrichment classes, but instead consider backgammon to be an acceptable substitute. That doesn't sound very ideal to me.

Now if a senior is a golfer, they will be delighted to discover that a small handful of cruises provide a golf pro, along with the latest simulator technology to help him improve your swing. One large cruise line even went so far as to build a driving range that can be used during the day and at night. But be aware that, for some unexplained reason, some companies have absolutely no golf amenities at all.

It has often been said that stealing away on a Bermuda cruise, and watching the sun setting over the ocean with the one you love by your side, is the most romantic thing in the world, so it doesn't surprise me that Modern Bride magazine voted Bermuda as one of the best honeymoon resort destinations in the world.

If you're looking for the ideal honeymoon you will want to book yourself on one of two ships that have spa treatments that you can have in the privacy of your cabin. You may also want to be on one of the ships that offers more than a single rose. How about a dozen? And if you really want that special treatment, how would you like a private invite from the captain of your ship to take a tour of the bridge? I think these are some of the special touches that can ensure you have the ideal Bermuda honeymoon cruise.

This article has tried to point out just a few of the critical elements that can help ensure that you have a great Bermuda cruise; one that is custom designed to meet your own specific Bermuda vacation needs.

It is painfully clear that each of the cruise lines, and in fact each of the different ships have decided to cater to very different groups of vacationers. Naturally I can't cover all of the things to be aware of in this brief article, but if you want more information, particularly the names of the specific ships I mentioned above, then please visit me at the website mentioned below and you will be certain to find the perfect Bermuda cruise for you.
