NJ Johnny Posted June 22, 2014 #228 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Carol I see you've frequented Bermuda quite a bit - do you try something new on the island each time, or do you have your ol' stand-by favorites? We always go to Horseshoe Bay one day, The other days we try to do different things. We've been to Elbow Beach, Stonehole Bay and 9 Beaches (when it was accepting cruise guests). It is now closed as a resort, so we never went again. They used to have their own shuttles standing out by the other buses to take you directly there and they picked you up for the return trip back to the dockyard. We've been to the Zoo and Aquarium twice. The second time was when we went with our grandkids. It's great for the kids - and us too. We've been to St. Georges once. Went to Harbor nights once, when we got there it had rained that day and it was cancelled. We'll never do that again. The Goomby Dancers came onto the ship when we were on the Star and preformed a couple years back, so we've seen them. Been to Hamilton a few times. There's still so much more to do. I'd like to go the Underwater Museum this year. We went to Coco Reef resort last year and might again this year. We'll see. I've got a lot of plans. My husband always says I make too many plans each year with only three days to do it in. That's why we keep going back to do the things that we didn't get to do.

VickiD59 Posted June 22, 2014 #232 Share Posted June 22, 2014 (edited) My husband always says I make too many plans each year with only three days to do it in. That's why we keep going back to do the things that we didn't get to do. That's what I figure... although we have three days to see Bermuda, I want to make the most of the time. Horseshoe Bay for sure; probably day one (weather permitting), my husband will tolerate one beach day - he much prefers site-seeing. He'll enjoy the museum I'm sure. Also we're traveling with a group of 25 family/friends. We will NOT be moving as one unit - everyone is on their own!! We'll go with the flow for the most part, but... I do like having some sort of a plan ;) Edited June 22, 2014 by VickiD59 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatball_nyc Posted June 25, 2014 Author #233 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Wednesday June 25. 7:15am Port Side. ~Robin Norwegian Breakaway July 2014 Carnival Miracle 2010 Carnival Legend 2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VickiD59 Posted June 25, 2014 #234 Share Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) Judging by whatever pattern may be forming the last few months, I should expect starboard for our 7/20 sailing.... and then maybe I'll be surprised at it won't be :p Their weather today looks like ours - overcast with possible rain.

meatball_nyc Posted June 25, 2014 Author #235 Share Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) Port side again. Hopefully same again next week with me waving from my deck 16 balcony. :) Sent from my iPad using Forums Looked for you CruisinCockney but did not see you!! ~Robin Norwegian Breakaway July 2014 Carnival Miracle 2010 Carnival Legend 2006 Edited June 25, 2014 by meatball_nyc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ Johnny Posted June 25, 2014 #236 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Robin, It does look good that for our sailing we'll be portside (if pattern holds). We'll see next week if it is starboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatball_nyc Posted June 25, 2014 Author #237 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I agree, Carol. Next week should be starboard and then port for us! Can't wait. 11 days :) ~Robin Norwegian Breakaway July 2014 Carnival Miracle 2010 Carnival Legend 2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VickiD59 Posted June 25, 2014 #238 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Wow... almost down to single digits for you guys! Originally, July 6th was the sailing I wanted to choose, but the majority of the group wanted/needed to wait later in the month - and the majority ruled.

lag5323 Posted June 25, 2014 #239 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Just got off the Breakaway on Sunday. What a wonderful cruise. Found a best kept secret in Bermuda. Either take the red train or ask a taxi to take you to Daniels Head Beach (part of the 9 beaches). Beautiful beach, with very few people. They have a snack shop and places to rent chairs/equipment, etc. I don't think this will be a secret for long!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's where we are probably going since Tobacco Bay will probably not keep its great snorkeling if there is nonstop partying going on there. Not that there is anything wrong with partying, I'm just sad it's there. Did you buy anything at the snack bar? How much are the sodas, water, beer and mixed drinks? And the snacks. Did you snorkel or stand up paddle? They have a webcam on their FB page. Edited June 25, 2014 by peg013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatball_nyc Posted June 25, 2014 Author #242 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Thanks for the info! There's also a new "pirate bar" that just opened called "Calico Jack's". It's at the Dockyard. Looks pretty cool.

TravelJoe Posted June 25, 2014 #243 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Wednesday June 25. 7:15am Port Side. ~Robin Norwegian Breakaway July 2014 Carnival Miracle 2010 Carnival Legend 2006 So if docked port side like today, on which side does the sun rise? Port or Starboard? (I can figure out sunset) :) And guess while I'm asking, is the sun more forward or aft? Thanks.... . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatball_nyc Posted June 25, 2014 Author #244 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I think port side gets the sunsets and the starboard side sunrises. At least that's what it looks like to me watching the webcam. ~Robin Norwegian Breakaway July 2014 Carnival Miracle 2010 Carnival Legend 2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Cruise4Ever Posted June 25, 2014 #245 Share Posted June 25, 2014 We were Starboard side and had the sun most of the day - so sunrise with a southern view would be my guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By using port and starboard you are talking about the ship, but the ship does not always port on the same side of the ship. Just did not want anyone getting mixed up about where the sun shines (or doesn't).

lag5323 Posted June 25, 2014 #250 Share Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) In response to your question about Daniel's Head, We rented lounge chairs and an umbrella, which were $10.00 each. Did not eat anything, but soda's were, I believe, $1.00. The other family there has the Rainbow Trout dish and were RAVING about how delicious it was!
