Yes, but I'm afraid that there won't be a private taxi available to take me back and then end up being stuck. Just overly cautious traveling solo. Wonder if they use Uber in Bermuda? Sorry I know I don't sound very knowledgeable and travel savvy.

Thanks - what I mean by sessions is excursion time from the cruise ship (the ship I was on last year had AM and PM departure times). In this case, I am on Celebrity and the excursion leaves at 10:30 am. By the time the bus arrives at 11:30 all the chairs and umbrellas will be long gone. I can't chance not having shade with my fair skin, so unless there is a way to definitely reserve an umbrella (don't care so much about a chair) I guess I skip Horseshoe this trip.

I was there July 2022 for an afternoon excursion from the cruise ship. There were no umbrellas or chairs to rent available. There were so many people there and definitely not enough inventory to meet the demand. Finally a really nice family offered their chairs and umbrella as they were getting ready to leave, which I was very grateful for because it was blazing hot - and I'm old (lol). I am returning to Bermuda this summer and would love to go back to Horseshoe Bay but hesitate due to the lack of inventory to meet the need. It would be good to know if arriving for the morning session from the cruise ship would yield more availability. I really am not sure if this strategy would work. I half want to take an small beach umbrella with me on the cruise ship to use at Horseshoe Bay (not sure if this would be allowed or too cumbersome for the bus). It is such a beautiful destination, I want to return.
