flowers44 Posted March 23, 2015 #2 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Still one of the best deals on Bermuda. The Public Transportation System is a wonderful way to get around Bermuda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mintsugarcube Posted March 23, 2015 #3 Share Posted March 23, 2015 So ironic I see this now as about the same time you were posting this, I was using the wrong numbers to figure out how much our ferry trips would cost. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwcruisers Posted March 23, 2015 #4 Share Posted March 23, 2015 NJhorseman -- thanks for posting that info. I passed it along to our Memorial Day Summit roll-call thread. That's the second piece of bad news in one week -- we just learned that Harbor Nights won't be starting until the week after our cruise. I really enjoyed that, and was looking forward to going again. :( Oh well, the great thing about Bermuda is that there is so much to to and see, that three days is never enough! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwcruisers Posted March 23, 2015 #5 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Still one of the best deals on Bermuda. The Public Transportation System is a wonderful way to get around Bermuda. Absolutely agree! However, the impending price increase will probably motivate us to consolidate all of our "outside of Dockyard" activities into two days -- instead of the 3-day pass we bought, last year.

flowers44 Posted March 24, 2015 #6 Share Posted March 24, 2015 We always buy the two day because there is so much to do around the Dockyard now and I always like to be able to see the ship on the day we depart. Just never want to be one of the "Pier Runners" who miss the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wwcruisers Posted March 24, 2015 #8 Share Posted March 24, 2015 We always buy the two day because there is so much to do around the Dockyard now and I always like to be able to see the ship on the day we depart. Just never want to be one of the "Pier Runners" who miss the ship. We just plan our last day carefully, and schedule an early return to the ship -- like we do in the one-day-stop ports. When we were there last year, Dockyard (especially the shops) was a total zoo on the last day! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biker@sea Posted March 24, 2015 #9 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I still have tokens left from last year ?? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flowers44 Posted March 24, 2015 #10 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I still have tokens left from last year ?? :confused: They are still good. The tokens never expire. It is the same with the book of tickets that you can buy in Hamilton. They are always good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njhorseman Posted March 24, 2015 Author #11 Share Posted March 24, 2015 They are still good. The tokens never expire. It is the same with the book of tickets that you can buy in Hamilton. They are always good. There was a time when you bought tokens for NY City subway fare. Then they introduced the MetroCard, and did away with the tokens...after a certain date your tokens could no longer be used and if you had any they became a worthless souvenir of a bygone era. The point is that Bermuda could decide to discontinue accepting tokens. I'm not saying they will take this step, but you can't assume "they are always good."
