Bermuda Cruise Ships
Most of the lines that provide cruise ships for Bermuda have their own independent schedules. But the combined information about all of them is provided by Marine and Ports division of Bermuda's government, which publishes the schedules of all cruise ship calls for a particular year at the beginning of each year. This schedule is also available online.
Though the government has been trying to encourage more air travel to the island, most visitors prefer to reach the island on a cruise ship. The local government has put a cap on the maximum number of passengers per cruise ship and the total number of passengers that can visit each year.
These limits are revised at regular intervals. These limits are to prevent the small island from being overrun at any given time, and also to prevent strain on the island's resources.
The local shopkeepers, storeowners and other businessmen eagerly await the arrival of Bermuda cruise ships, whose passengers provide most...

The Ley Lines of a Semi-Retired Drainage System
There seems to be at times, a fine line between enthusiasm and frenzied delight, and with Miranda Krestovnikoff, who presents BBC 2's Hidden Treasure, that line is all too frequently blurred.Still, perhaps I'm being a little too hard on the poor girl.
