Any input on the Nordict Express out of NYC to Bermuda would be greatly appreciated. Thinking about doing a cruise end of Sept. 2002. <BR><BR>Thanks!

Sorry I meant to type Empress

We did this cruise 2 yrs ago. It was great. Went in late June. Good weather, calm seas.<BR>The ship was fine and comfortable. Food good not great but plenty of it. They have now started to have "informal" dinner at night in the Windjammer dining room for those who don't want the main dining room. It is a buffet.<BR>The ship docks 1.5 days in the Dockyard and 1 day in Hamilton. This was the only negative. Bermuda is easy to get around by bus, water ferry etc. but we missed being near to St George.<BR>Go to Horseshoe Bay (one of the World's best beaches). Can do this on your own by cab or bus.<BR>Shopping is good but expensive (British merchandise). People are friendly.<BR>Sailing past the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island and under the Verazanno Narrows Bridge on sail-away was fun.<BR>Boarding was easy. Off loading was a pain. <BR>We were bussed from Boston (no additional exprense) and it took forever to get off ship.<BR>All in all a great trip. I highly recommend it.
