Dear Sir,

I made my initial visit to Bermuda after the death of my husband. My travel guide recommended a cruise as the most helpful rest after his long illness. I fell in love with cruising and Bermuda. I read The Royal Gazette online and I have been interested in the discussions regarding cruising and flying. My opinion. Not everyone in the US has the time and/or financial ability to get to your lovely island by air. Your hotel rates are beyond what most of us can afford. By cruising we get room and board in one shot. I think the biggest mistake made was to take the ships out of Hamilton. I understand the cruise lines are making bigger ships. Again, bigger does not mean better. I can only say thank you for my 13 visits to your lovely island.
