We took an Uber back in 2022; we had to walk a block to get picked up. Amtrak is close by. The bus was running regularly. And the train station is quick to the tracks, not a maze you have to navigate.

As long as you don't have to have active internet/phone service to ride (I would stick to the old method).

I rode from the dockyard a few years ago. Brought the bike back on the ferry. Make sure you get a good map. The trail wasn't always well marked and some places it was the main road - often with no shoulder, you're riding along a wall. Also hilly near the golf course. I probably felt safest riding down Front Street into Hamilton, the drivers gave me room. Make sure you bring water (and a helmet).

I've had the corkage fee imposed less than half the time. Bottle not hidden in my carry-on, if they send me to the table, I go, if not, I just board without being charged. If you ask...

South Street Diner, especially for breakfast.

Tobacco Bay is popular though not particularly exotic animal life. Nice for kids.

The walk back up is brutal and with kids... worse. And the buses have restrictions on what you can carry on if you had your own chairs or whatever. Sometimes revealing bathing suits unwelcome, also wet ones.

It's seasonal, but the dunking of the wench in St. George's is outstanding. And free.

That's what I do, it's usually around 9:00 am on a Sunday morning. There's usually a small caravan of people doing it. I also travel very light.

As someone who has won a lot of trivia contests (both onboard and in bars) I hope they get rid of prizes of value; it gives people incentives to cheat over nothing (and causes bitterness when someone feels they have been cheated). People who typically do well are more interested in how well they do and not some marker or luggage tag...

They can't do that. With passengers overtly cheating, they'll have more conflicts over prizes of value than for useless trinkets. If someone wants a highlighter so badly that they'll cheat at a silly trivia game, they can have it. I gave up on the games last year; we had a group that showed up for every game who had been on the ship the week before and knew what the questions would be... not the crowd I hang with.

Docking in Bermuda is expensive, don't count on it if they haven't already announced it.

I took mine off going to Orient Bay to get the full experience.

I don't care if they charge, I might go twice a week for a snack. Like the lobster nights, let the gluttons pay more instead of the rest of us.

I asked about museum accessibility for a friend a few months ago. Response was: "Yes, the Museum is wheelchair and electric scooter accessible friendly and there is an elevator in our Commissioner’s House that can take you to the 2nd & 3rd floors. You access the house through our Defense exhibit on the lower level. You may ask the Ticket Office Concierge to direct you when you arrive."

And a bottle of Nyquil.

It's more similar than it is different. We prefer to lock in our dining times the first night on my Time dining, Wear pretty much whatever you want regardless of the "suggested theme" for the night.

LOL. It's a glorified two by four.

There's that bar on the square where the woman is always getting dragged out of for the daily dunking. She seems like a fun chick.

If you think you haven't seen that, you aren't looking closely. I've been on several cruises with people dressed in drag. Who cares?

That's the perspective the non-existent dress code fanatics take, looking under all the tables for potential violations to the imaginary code.

No, but they can post such a claim, true or not, and swear that it's the truth. Like a Holiday Inn Express commercial.

It doesn't work that way with adults either. I have Diamond because my wife has more cruises than I do. But if I cruise solo, I am Diamond but the points I accrue really don't get us closer to D+.

The crew is burning all the $2 bills they received as tips.

The ones on ebay last night didn't appear to even have bids on them. If I were interested I would lowball for $25 and see if someone bites.
