emdobl03 Posted March 11, 2010 #1 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Hi all! My boyfriend are going on our first cruise ever in May, and it just so happens that we will be in Bermuda on May 24th, which apparently is Bermuda Day. Has anyone been on the island on this day? Are there any special activities that we should be sure to attend, or are there things that will definitely be closed? Thanks in advance for all your help! -E.

SailBadtheSinner Posted March 15, 2010 #2 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Bermuda Day is celebrated on Monday, May 24, 2010. In summary, the government is closed, stores are closed, most restaurants are closed, buses & ferries run reduced schedules and taxis have a limited availability. I would think that with a cruise ship at the Dockyard, retail stores and restaurants there maybe open. There is a road race, a parade and other special events, including the start of the Bermuda Fitted Dinghy Racing :D season.

emdobl03 Posted March 15, 2010 Author #3 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Thanks so much for the info! I was hoping that more stores and restaurants would be running but I'll keep my fingers crossed that the Dockyard will have a bunch of stuff open! I'm going to try and convince my boyfriend to go to the parade if we can. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maple Sugar Posted March 17, 2010 #4 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I know Frog & Onion is always opened www.frogandonion.bm I would think all restaurants will be opened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinMaterial Posted March 24, 2010 #5 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I wonder if Hammerheads will be open in the dockyard? :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SailBadtheSinner Posted March 24, 2010 #6 Share Posted March 24, 2010 My guess would be, if there is a cruise ship at the Dockyard on Bermuda Day, then Hammerheads will be open. You could call & ask: 441-234-1300. SBtS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuvRVacay Posted March 26, 2010 #7 Share Posted March 26, 2010 We were in Bermuda last year on Bermuda Day. We figured we would take a ship sponsored tour of the Island but unfortunately we got caught behind their road race and followed them across the Island. Stores and the Bar were open in the Dockyard though. We just tried to get in the spirit of things and ended up having a very nice time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
