There’s a fascinating story developing in Bermuda<\/a> that will interest you if you’re cruising that way, or maybe even if you aren’t.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Here’s the Coles Notes version:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Gaming is not allowed anywhere in Bermuda<\/p>\n

\u2022 Cruise ships must shut down casinos when in Bermuda’s ports<\/p>\n

\u2022 Loss of gaming revenue has driven cruise lines away from Bermuda<\/p>\n

\u2022 Bermuda is reconsidering whether it should allow cruise-line casinos to remain open<\/p>\n

\u2022 Opposition to reconsidering includes the belief that it’s discrimination if visitors to Bermuda can gamble and locals can’t<\/p>\n

\u2022 A referendum on gaming is possible, even likely<\/p>\n

Are you with us so far?<\/p>\n

If so, then you also realize that a country where gambling is not legal may become a country (okay, British territory) where it is legal mainly because cruise lines that allow gambling are boycotting a country where their customers can’t gamble on days when their ships are in port.<\/p>\n

It does beg one question: Why are cruise lines unable to profit without the casino income in Bermuda when they always have to turn off the gambling taps while in any port, anywhere?<\/p>\n

Amazing…cruise ships could change a whole country’s policy on gambling!<\/p>\n
