K-Cup Fan Posted August 23, 2012 #1 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I was able to buy bus/ferry passes at guest services on the Enchantment this week. The woman at the desk said it was the first cruise that they were able to do that. There was no extra service charge and it saved me from using cash and waiting at one of the windows outside. I have no idea if other ships are doing this yet, but I would recommend that you ask. They didn’t advertise it on Enchantment. I happened to ask for a schedule and the woman asked if I wanted to purchase tickets. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njhorseman Posted August 23, 2012 #2 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Years ago ships that made regular calls on Bermuda commonly had bus passes available for sale, but that hasn't been the case in recent years. It's interesting that they're suddenly available relatively late in the season on the Enchantment...I'm wondering what's behind the sudden change.

flowers44 Posted August 23, 2012 #3 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Thanks for the info. We are stopping at Bermuda on our August 30th cruise. Getting the bus pass onboard would save time on shore. I will have to ask to see if they have them on the Explorer. Was it at the service desk in the main lobby that you got them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bell Ringer Posted August 24, 2012 #4 Share Posted August 24, 2012 please report back to us as if you are successful on the Explorer in purchasing tickets before you dock! That would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twofathoms Posted August 24, 2012 #7 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I wish I could get the ticket booklets instead of the passes, they don't sell them at the dockyard. In addition you have to pay cash on the island where the ship probably takes credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flowers44 Posted August 24, 2012 #8 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I will leave myself a "Postit" to remember to come back and tell you if I was able to buy the bus passes onboard the Explorer. I am also supposed to go onto the "Private Island" section and do a review of the Cabana I have rented on Labadee. I might have to take a whole day to catch up the CC questions. Laundry will have to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't speak to how it's being done today, but in years ago when we used buy the passes on our Celebrity Zenith cruises to Bermuda, you still had to pay cash for them on the ship. It wasn't charged to your on board account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaylemh Posted August 24, 2012 #10 Share Posted August 24, 2012 September 2010 on Explorer, I purchased an all day pass at Guest Services, using my seapass card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisc71 Posted August 24, 2012 #11 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Would be great if they started to sell them on the ship again especially with the Breakaway and its 4,000 passengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoeyVictoria Posted August 26, 2012 #13 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Thank you for the tip. Sounds like a good way to conserve cash and get some extra RCI Visa points. I will check this out on the Enchantment on September 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debshomespun Posted August 27, 2012 #14 Share Posted August 27, 2012 We will be on Explorer this October, and would love to buy the ferry/bus tickets on the Ship to get more Visa Points too! Hopefully, they will be available on the ship, so it is one less thing we will have to do once we get off the ship in Bermuda! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tci1212 Posted August 28, 2012 #15 Share Posted August 28, 2012 We also just got off the Enchantment and were able to purchase 2 day transportation passes on the ship, they were 20.00 each for a two day pass, we used our sea pass card. We took the ferry to Hamilton and buses to Warwick Long bay, and St George. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've never been to Bermuda, but we'll be there on the Eos in Oct. We want to purchase the bus/ferry passes. Does the kiosk take credit cards and how much for the 2-3 day pass.
