You can also cache Google map on your phone for no data and use it anywhere in the world. Pro tip from me.

I will be at this port next week.  Is there anything to do once you are out of the port?  Is it safe to walk 2 miles away?

I hope I can get to this port. I like to photograph natural disaster. Be careful of broken glasses, etc.

So far our plan is to either go or return by taxi, but not both. I also guess, as we go down the cruise its a good idea to ask arround for people to share a taxi to the walled city.

We are on our honeymoon and our 5th cruise. Also we both speak Spanish so hope its a good defense against aggressive street vendors.

Current places i've marked to visit

 

 

Everything seems so close, not sure about even needing a taxi. We are in our 30's

Are you successful in doing this? I am coming here next month. Thanks.

I am thinking of going to the Old City next month. I can take a taxi there?  $10 per car?

Then I plan to walk back, about 3 miles.

Anyone done this?  Thanks!

I am thinking of getting to the Old City using the taxi (I read $10 and up to 4 pax can split) and then walk back, which is 2.8 miles.

Has anyone done this? Its my first time there.

What beach did you go to?  Were you able to rent chairs?  

I walked to Puerto Plata beach and Long beach, 3-4 miles away. I saw restaurants and at the back of the beach are chairs and lounges. Now sure if you buy food, then its free. 

I got back from my cruise this past week and I did go to PP. I walk about 8.5 miles RT.  When you get out of the ship port, turn left and go to the beach and side road area.  It is safe. I see police and tourists walking. I walk 4 miles to the beach.  If you turn right, they will not allow you to walk there, because they say its a high crime area.

I am coming here next week, will be my first time. I saw places you can walk when you turn left from the ship. I saw 2 beaches.  I will be walking 2 miles, each way, for fun.

I been to AC once. It's a nice resort, but I walk out of the gate into the jungle, along the side roads, kinda muddy at times, be care of cars. Fun experience.

Can you walk from the Cabbage Beach to the Atlantis compound?

My first time going to Progresso. What the free things to do there? Thanks.

Didnt I read somewhere here it is already factor into their annual budget.

There is no cheap way. The only way would be a taxi. Plus they have a surcharge on Sunday. They would be difficult to find in Hamilton on Sunday at midnight. What are you planning to do then in Hamilton? Everything will be closed Sunday evening. Do you know someone who lives there? They could try and call you a taxi. There is a taxi app called Hitch. You could try getting a taxi with the app. 

I want to go to Hamilton to take night photos of the town, thats all I want to do.

Maybe I can go to somewhere near, like Somerset Island, go to Scaur Hills Fort & Park, its near the Dock, after 6:30 PM, but its dangerous to walk on the road.

Need advice & clue. Thanks.

My ship comes in at 3 PM.  I want to go to Hamilton around 6:30 PM, but the ferry and bus are closed after 6:30 PM on Sunday. What's the cheapest way to go there and back around midnight?  Thanks.

My ship comes in at 3 PM.  What can I do then, its too late to go to Hamilton right?

The next day its a the whole day.  I am thinking if I should get a $19 pass or just get tokens. The token can take you from the yard to St George?

The last day, my ship leave at 1 PM.  I wonder if I got time to take the bus to the island in the morning.

My first time to Bermuda.  Its impossible to walk from the Yard to downtown Hamilton?

I remember riding the tram.  Its only one way and back you have to find a taxi.

This time I am going to walk to Mahahul and back and its next week.  I believe its 2 miles one way.

The last time I check, the shot cut along the beach to Mahahul is not accessible.  Is it still true?

While doing my search and digging, I found this info on taxi and bus.

Anyone did this recently?

I am going back to Roatan again.

1. I remember taking a $2 bus in the town to West End. Does it still exists?

2. No bus go to West Bay right?

3. Can I take public bus else where? Any other good beach to go?

Thank you for your help.

I never get to experience this 5100 room.

I bid on $25 for balcony, but WIN $35 for Club Balcony Suite instead! So thats $70 for 2 pax.

Now is the best to go on cruise, much less pax and easily win on the lowest bid!

LETS GO!

I got this room because its the cheapest one as the sail away rate.  My cruise is Dec 11, 2021.

We've used Premier Cruise Parking in Miami for several cruises.  They charge $6.95 a day, have a covered parking garage, and shuttle right to baggage drop-off.  Always had great service with them, and it's much cheaper than parking at the port.  Don't confuse them with Premiere Parking, which has horrible reviews.

Check out Premiere Cruise Parking here:  https://premiercruiseparking.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwnJaKBhDgARIsAHmvz6cEr8xHKp3UKd5rhGQKo1w1b9NJgvEZQniLGLr98mXA7HeLw6QascsaAnxqEALw_wcB

Yes, I have use them twice and I do it again.

Did you read posts 13 and 19 in this thread before parking there?  When the number of break-ins discovered in a single day is so large that it makes the local news, that would/should be problematic for most people.  You were lucky!

Yes I know about it. Even watch the evening news video about the break in.  I recommend PCP and will park there.  :-)

I just got back from my MSC cruise, Dec 7-14. I park at Premier Cruise Parking.

I LOVE IT!

They took a group of us to port at 9:30 AM.  On my return trip, I wait like 20 mins and they came.

I get to keep my car key! and its on the 7th deck garage shaded!

This is my 2nd time.  I will do them again for sure!

I go during the non-peak season.
