tinykygal Posted August 7, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 7, 2014 DH and I are planning a RCCL cruise in the US but have visited all the Eastern, Western and Southern Ports except Bermuda. Would you recommend Bermuda? The reason we want to sail RCCL is that we have an open booking. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biker@sea Posted August 7, 2014 #2 Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) I too have visited many Island's . Bermuda is the cleanest safest one of all by far . :D With a good public transportation system . Edited August 7, 2014 by biker@sea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnsblonde Posted August 8, 2014 #6 Share Posted August 8, 2014 October we'll be taking yet another cruise to Bermuda. At this point I have no desire to cruise anywhere else! Bermudians are lovely, polite people. Nobody chased me down to braid my hair...... It's clean and safe. Alaska was too cold. Hated, hated, hated Bahamas.

alligeek Posted August 8, 2014 #7 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I LOVE Bermuda. It's by far my favorite destination in the Caribbean. It's beautiful, the people are polite and warm, and the public transportation system is fabulous. Don't hesitate to book a cruise to Bermuda!

Va. Plumber Posted August 8, 2014 #11 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Ugh--see what happens when you leave your brain at work? :) I must go apologize in person to the wonderful people of Bermuda! That's alright. I am amazed by people who have no idea where Bermuda is and some have actually been there. Told a friend we were cruising from Boston to Bermuda. He wanted to know if we were stopping at Key West. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeRick Posted August 8, 2014 #12 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Just got back today from Bermuda - sailed on the Grandeur. The whole experience was wonderful. It is beautiful all-around, very historical, and the people are super friendly. It is not poverty-stricken and has a lot of expensive homes, golf courses, shopping, etc. There is some poverty of course but not like some places in the Caribbean. The beaches are all amazing. Bring you wallet because everything is quite expensive! Note that to get there and back you will cross open ocean as opposed to being in the Caribbean. It can get rough at times - we crossed behind Hurricane Bertha on the way back and we did experience some high seas for about half a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highboy90 Posted August 9, 2014 #13 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Did Bermuda 2 years in a row now and would go back next year if I could for reasons mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_water Posted August 9, 2014 #14 Share Posted August 9, 2014 We've been on 11 cruises throughout the Carib and to Bermuda, and we've stayed on several islands and in many areas of Mexico. We've also stayed in Bermuda. For a cruise option BDM is a great destination - gorgeous beaches, interesting towns and history, and great dining. There is an excellent transportation system in place (bus and ferry) and it is very easy to get everywhere on your own, no need for tours. Definitely take a cruise to Bermuda, you will see some similarities to places you've already been, and the people are wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_water Posted August 9, 2014 #15 Share Posted August 9, 2014 While there be sure to enjoy Warwick Long Bay and Jobson's Cove, gorgeous beaches and much quieter than Horseshoe. And think about how nice it would be to stay right across the street from WLB and be able to walk there, or in one of the resorts nearby if you want a more expensive resort experience. We consider BDM one of our top 5 vacation spots, and although it can be expensive there, you can stay inexpensively by renting an apt right in the south shore area. You can enjoy some of the nightlife while on a cruise there, if you decide to go there are some fun spots and great musicians we can recommend.

blue_water Posted August 9, 2014 #19 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Do you have a favorite time of the year to visit Bermuda? June - July is nice and warn and drier, we've also been there in Sept and enjoyed warm but muggier weather. Definitely not a colder month destination! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marco Posted August 13, 2014 #23 Share Posted August 13, 2014 We've cruised to Bermuda at least 20 times over the past 30 or so years on various ships and lines. Absolutely our favorite 7 day vacation! AS you're there for (now 3, used to be 4 days) and you can get on/off the ship 24/7 there is no rush to see/do everything in one 8hr stop. It's clean, compact, and the people are gracious. Sept/early Oct is or favorite time to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lkmfleming Posted August 13, 2014 #25 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Although there is another life on land ;) Super dupe...didn't know that you can come & go as you please 24/7 off the ship! We are going to Bermuda for the first time for our 1st anniversary & couldn't be more excited. Does anyone happen to know anything about this party NCL has in port one of the nights? Is it different than Harbor Nights? Thank you [emoji1] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
