I bid $65 for a mini suite on the dawn for 9/1 sailing. Got the confirmation yesterday. We were in a balcony but I was willing to spend the low bid (130) for the little extra space since there are three of us.

So they celebrate Labor Day?

Yes, they do! :)

I'm going on her for the first time in September! I actually live walking distance from the cruise terminal but have actually only cruised out of Boston once (a RC New England/Canada cruise) as it's usually cheaper to fly down to Florida and cruise out there (or at least the same price but for more port days). For my budget at least. I'm looking forward to it!!!

The St. George ferry "running on a Sunday schedule" would mean there would be no St. George ferry service, because that route only runs Mon. through Fri. Do you mean on the regular Monday schedule on Labor Day?

Yes, sorry I did mean Monday. This is what happens when I play on cruise critic while at work. ;)

Hello everyone,

Yes, this is ANOTHER itinerary question but I have a more unique situation (well, me and everyone else on my cruise and anyone who takes this particular cruise each year. ). I'll be in Bermuda (1st time) Sun-Mon-Tue however Mon is Labor Day. Arrival on Sunday is 1:30p. We depart on Tuesday at 5:30p.

I've read up on both transportation limits as well as what will be open and closed (and what time things will close) on both Sundays and Labor Day (I'm going with the assumption that this year the St George ferry will run on a Sunday schedule as it did last year. or at least I can hope!).

My vague outline is at follows:

Sunday explore the dockyard area. I know a lot of things close up around 5p so I figured this would just be the easiest seeing as we probably won't step foot on land until 1:30 the earliest.

Monday Labor Day. Last year the orange ferry ran from 9:30a-5:30p. Under the assumption it will be the same this year, we will spend the day over at St George.

Tuesday Hamilton via ferry. Only "must see" (and I know it's small and nothing amazing but I know that my mom will enjoy it) is BAMZ. My plan is to take the 9am ferry over. Should we explore Hamilton THEN take the bus to BAMZ and then backtrack to the ferry? I'd feel most comfortable being back on a ferry (or bus if that' the best way) by 2p to avoid any travel anxiety regarding running late. Is it possible to do this in the time allotted?? The 7-10 min walk up hill from ferry dock in Hamilton to the bus station--it is a very steep hill? (my mom has rheumatoid arthritis. she can walk around fine but I don't want to MAKE her have to walk up a huge hill if I can/should avoid it with a cab even)

I'm open to any suggestions as well. (we plan to see Tobacco Beach when we are in ST G in lieu of going over to Horseshoe.)
