Richard, Eric asked about the Bermuda Star,
not Bahama Star. I think he's refering to
HAL former Veendam which was originally
the Argentina. This ship is now sailing out
of New Orleans as Enchanted Isle for
Commodore Cruises.

Thanks a lot for the background info, NAL. I didn't realize that she was a former HAL ship.

I remember coming in to Bermuda on the Nordic Prince. We passed each other, as she was on her way out. Lovely old ship, she was. When I returned home, I applied for a job at Bermuda Star Lines as a result. Their HQ was here in Teaneck, NJ. Unfortunately, they didn't have any openings for folks of my background (I had just graduated college with a BS in Marketing), so I dejectedly left the office. Then, of course, the line went out of business. So much for my attempt at finding employment in the cruise business. I mean, I don't have to work on a ship, I'd just love to be in the company. I just don't feel like moving to Miami, that's all.
