Irish Eyes Are Sailing

Oh my god, what did you do?? That's terrible that you weren't able to use the made-to-order sandwich bar, but the pre-mades were not to your liking. Personally, I refuse to tolerate any cruise ship that doesn't have a tableside made-to-order sandwich trolley.

I have a spinal condition. Threw my back out picking up a 45 lb piece of luggage day before the cruise. Thought I would be okay. I wasn't. Suffered with intense pain the whole trip. My fault alone. I know better. Getting help from my neurologist now that I am home. Thanks for asking.

For those who just sailed on the Veendam to Bermuda how was the ship? Were the seas rough? Did you enjoy your time in Hamilton?

Smooth seas going over. Rough coming back. Bermuda is gorgeous. Hamilton very nice.

Did not care for the Veendam....JMO

After my last less than stellar trip on the Veendam, you might be happier on the Dawn, especially from an entertainment perspective if that's what you are used to.

Tried to eat one pre made sandwich on the Veendam recently. I emphasize "tried". Just awful......

They did have a made to order line available.

I suffered a back injury before boarding and could not stand there long enough to try one.

Can't mention anything on this last cruise. Worst food I have ever had on ANY cruise. And I am not a fussy eater.

On previous HAL cruises have loved the food - it was very good IMO.

A few honorable mentions on this last trip on the Veendam:

Escargot, bread pudding, Dive In burgers, and the fresh roast turkey they had at lunch ONE day was as good as always.

The rest could go overboard...JMO

Happy Sailing!

I will regretfully remove them and wish you healing.

Thank you Roy for your good wishes. Hoping for the best....

Hi Roy,

Could you please remove my two future cruises I had on the list? November 16 2018 Celebrity Reflection and June 3 2019 Amsterdam Alaska.

I have had a bad medical issue surface with my back and had to cancel both future cruises. We just can't deal with the luggage anymore...

Thank you very much!

Great pictures of you all Jacqui, enjoying your thread very much. Great food pictures also....everything looks wonderful.

Will have to catch up in 10 days or so after we get back from the Bermuda cruise. Thanks for sharing your cruise with all of us!

Hope the rest of your trip goes smoothly and you all have a happy and safe trip....enjoy!

Thank you for the info Charles!

I think I found the info on the Bus 7 stops on another website and it seems there is a stop for Warwick Beach ....thank you anyway!

One more ?:

Does Warwick Beach have its own Bus Stop?

Bus 7 ftom Hamilton I presume...?

Thank you!

Thank you Charles!

Good Afternoon All!

Please forgive me if this has been asked a million times before. I have searched and have not landed on the answer.

We will be in Hamilton on HAL cruise and would like to take the public bus in the afternoon one day down to Elbow Beach just to walk around a little, not spend the whole day or anything. I assume Elbow has a public beach? If so, and we take the public bus from Hamilton down to the Elbow Beach stop, how long of a walk is it to the beach (on Tribe Rd?) It doesn't look too long on the map, but maps can be deceiving and we are seniors.....spry, but senior! (ie: no disabilities) We usually walk a mile or so at home with no issues, so can anyone tell us approximately the length of the jaunt we are thinking of taking? We just want to see that pink sand up close!

Thank you very much.

Thank you all!

Hope your DH and others feel better soon Jacqui....being sea sick is no fun! Hope the seas calm down soon for you....

I print all of them, but print a double copy of the first page (boarding pass). I keep the packet aside in the carry on, and hand over the 2nd copy of the boarding pass at the pier. That is just me. Others may do it differently. I know it is a lot of paper, but I would rather have it in case I need it.

I saw a private car/van and driver listed as an excursion to be purchased on the list for Bermuda. I don't remember what it cost, but it was horrendously expensive. But if cost is no object, then I guess it is a viable option for some cruisers.

Thanks everyone and a great cruise to those who also sail on the 12th. Linda: Bermuda is great. Make the most of it!

Thanks BRWolf....have a good time on your cruise also. Should be decent weather in BOS to sail out for both of us!:)

Have a fantastic cruise Irish eyes are sailing!!!! You’ll love the cruise and Bermuda is romantic and wonderful!

Smooth Sailings and relax and enjoy your time!

Denise:)

Thank you Denise!:)

Glad you arrived safely and the hotel is really nice...have fun on your cruise!

Thank you all for your good wishes...I am eagerly awaiting this cruise. Have not been on one for a few years due to an ill family member who has unfortunately passed away last August.

I am "almost" packed as we go to Boston for a few days prior.

We are both excited to go, we have never seen Bermuda....we are probably the last 2 people on the planet who have never been there. Heard it is a beautiful place....!:D

Happy Sailing to Everyone Else on May 12...and I guess me too!!!

Hoping for good weather!

Happy Sailing to All!

We are trying Celebrity for the 1st time this year too. From what I hear from my TA and from what I read on the boards, they seem to be a good cruise line. Different from HAL, bigger ships, etc, but with nice amenities and good food. We will see! Would have gone HAL in November but no itinerary was right, at the right time....so Celebrity won out.

Hope you have a good time on your cruise even though you have a bit of a wait.....
