Minister of Transport Terry Lister said: "We were surprised to only learn of the cancellations on Wednesday. This has put us in a unfortunate position giveaway free airline tickets for next year, because it will be difficult to find suitable replacement giveaway free airline tickets ships at such a late date.
"We are extremely disappointed by this late notification by Carnival Cruise Lines, but we will make every attempt to fill some of the empty berths with ships from other cruise lines. It is highly unusual for cancellations to occur so close to the beginning of the season.
A statement giveaway free airline tickets issued said, Ministry of Transport generally finalizes cruise applications 12-18 months in advance of the actual sailings giveaway free airline tickets and the 12 Carnival cruises for 2012 were approved in late 2010. Carnival was notified of the approval soon after they applied for the berths.
Ministry of Transport officials are attempting to gain clarification from Carnival giveaway free airline tickets concerning the late notice of cancellations while also working to find alternative ships for the available slots.

Michael Jones this man knows and cares about bda Reply Family Man says: October 30, 2011 at 7:03 pm
LMAO ALL of a sudden, the MOT is concerned about cruise ships NOT visiting the Island??? Everyone (even Bermudians)was screaming about how cruisers to the island were not enough because they didn t fill hotels and restaurants. Then it was because we over-took the buses on the Island. Even though cruisers to Bermuda spent MILLIONS on the Island visits every year and supported the Bermudian community, your MOT failed to realize giveaway free airline tickets (and I m sorry to say so did MANY Islanders) that we cruisers to Bermuda felt like we were starting to be treated like the ugly step child! Our ships visiting your wonderful Island giveaway free airline tickets helped to supply jobs on the docks and YES, we DID visit MANY of your restaurants and local pubs. After many cruises to Bermuda, I m sorry to say after reading many posts here, I do not feel as welcome as I once did!! It has NOTHING to do with the cruise lines. I used to love coming to Bermuda so much that I would swim there if I could!! Sorry my old friends, you can t have it BOTH ways!!! Reply Truth (Original) says: October 30, 2011 at 11:08 pm
Very true Mr. Hickey. Usually the people who complain about cruise ship visitors are the same ones who get hurt the most in a downturn. A lack of education and facts are a real issue in situations like this. I am of the opinion that more suffering giveaway free airline tickets is needed before people realize that we need our tourists and our expatriate workers.

rumandcoke Ijust had a gin and tonic and for the life of me I can not understand or believe Terry Listers statment regarding Carnival cruise lines and he was shocked that they are pulling out..he giveaway free airline tickets knows why they are pulling out .it is bcause giveaway free airline tickets of the poor managment giveaway free airline tickets of the dept of tourism Please Premier get rid of Terry Lister Reply mike says: November 1, 2011 at 8:01 am
Triangle ,how come we al know what the hell is going on and poor old Terry Lister is shocked that Carnival all of a sudden has said enough is enough .Terry have you ever experinced giveaway free airline tickets in your travels that you paid a lot of money for to have to endure what these passengers have endured under your ministry !!!!!! Reply Rockfish#2 says: October 30, 2011 at 8:31 pm
So, I think we can quite fairly lay blame for this on Furbert, Lister and Cox. Between them they couldn t keep the bus and ferry services going this year, and sure enough, here we are, with Carnival pulling out. It s an absolute disaster.
Furbert, Lister, Cox, you should giveaway free airline tickets resign. Get out of the way. Let someone else do it. Seriously. You need to know when you suck at something. You suck at running the country. Reply mike says: November 1, 2011 at 8:07 am
surprised ? ooooo puhleaseeeee! We have plenty of problems going on: Bus strikes causing nothing but inconvenience for our tourist who just want a great vacation but instead they had to wait and bake in the sun because some simple bus driver didn t wanna piss in a cup. Some (not all) of the customs officers have ridiculous attitudes. Taxi prices are a bit pricey for this little island. Can t enjoy most of the nightclubs because they are being invaded by drug warriors that somehow think they own it all. NOTHING for tourist to do but go to the beach, which by the way is also boring giveaway free airline tickets as hell!!! No bar, no music, nothing except for snorkel park which charges to get in.
Transportation issues. Mr Lister, those two words sum it up. In case you missed it, thousands of cruise ship visitors went through hell getting moved away from the dock this summer, I saw it, most Bermudians saw it but somehow you didn t? I would say that was a major factor in Carnival taking this course. For the record, we need Carnival more than they need us, as can now be seen. Give me a break, this was predictable, I knew we would pay for the lack of attention on land based transportation. Reply Terry says: October 30, 2011 at 8:14 pm
Carnival got tired of it s passengers giveaway free airline tickets being harressed , detained and heavily fined for insignifigant amounts of mary jane . Blame stupid lazy cops and customs officers who can t find murderers on the Island or stop guns and ammunition from coming into the Island but are very quick to ruin the vacation of innocent tourist who would prefer to enjoy themselves in the privacy of their rooms onboard the ship . Think about it people . Reply Bermudian@heart.. says: October 30, 2011 at 8:20 pm
PLP give up and go home before we have to use seashells as currency. You have done enough damage to last us a lifetime. WE NEED SOMEONE WHO KNOWS TOURISM TO BE IN CHARGE OF TOURISM. Stop talking and do something. Also, the OBA will win the election, giveaway free airline tickets but unfortunately they will get blamed for tax increases they will have to implement to get us back on track. Reply Hello says: October 31, 2011 at 1:43 pm
The writing has been on the wall for months Carnival has been critical of the transport and services provided to their passages. They have to take their passanges where they get value for money, or they ll have no passengers.
giveaway free airline tickets If Carnival was contracted to fill those slots, then they should pay a hefty fee for the late cancellations. I also doubt that it was crime related as most of carnivals other destinations have far greater crime that Bermuda (Nassau comes to mind). Nonetheless, hopefully those 11 slots can be filled. Reply Friendly Faces says: October 30, 2011 at 10:18 pm
Yeah, yeah. Heard it all before Bermuda. Lister is a slow foot soldier giveaway free airline tickets somehow in a position of real power, but the guy before, he is really to blame for this, it was him who signed the contracts, giveaway free airline tickets who built the infrastructure, giveaway free airline tickets stand up Ewart Brown. But we have heard it all before, time after time, its so boring, noone dares defend giveaway free airline tickets this Government anymore, but you still vote on racial lines and elect the PLP because you are more terrified of a white influenced Government than a stupid one. Reply leavingbermuda says: October 30, 2011 at 10:50 pm
This falls squarely at your feet Minister Lister. Your inability and/or reluctance to forcefully DEAL the the issues of the buses and ferries earlier this year has helped to result in a lost cruise ship for Bermuda. I wonder IF you even had consultations or talks with Carnival about the issues their passengers/our guests faced this year.
Maybe because of all those commando customs raids looking for the tourists with the recreational spliff in the cabins They had to bring their own entertainment nothing going on plus u need something to take the edge of the mess of the ground transportation that and the high prices!!
for all any of us know Carnival may have been talking to this Government for some time about pulling out. everything suggests that their incompetence knows no bounds Reply hmmmm says: October 30, 2011 at 10:18 pm
does anyone think this may be due to the fact that the ship s casinos are not allowed to operate i
