Bermuda, once one of the most popular cruise destination for cruisers from the Northeast, has seen a decrease in cruise ship visitors and will now attempt to lure them back by allowing gambling while vessels are in port.  And this year travel agents report that this year the demand for Bermud has significantly decreased. 

According to The Cruise Log, Bermuda’s legislature has approved a plan to let ships operate shops, bars, casinos and other entertainment venus during the evening while ships sit in port. 

One reason for the decline in cruise ship visitors is that ships are too big to dock in Hamilton and must now anchor in the less-desirable King’s Wharf, accessible to the capital city by ferry or bus.   Local tourism officials are attempting to attract smaller, more premium ships to return to the island.

Does gambling aboard the ship while it is in port attract you to a Bermuda cruise?
