 (1)!please recommend a reasonable and reliable place to park, other than by the cruise ship,

 

Are you asking about embarking at Cape Liberty and parking someplace other than at the cruise terminal?   If so, you should ask that question over in the East Coast Departures forum, where the topic comes up repeatedly.

If you get a chance before you get off the ship to snap a couple photos of an accessible balcony cabin, I would love to see them! They are on deck 6 and 7, on either side of the midship elevators.

Thanks!  And great photos so far.  Looking forward to the rest of your week.

Hello everyone and good day. . . My plans got changed a little and I did not start off at the Dockyard. I decide to go back to Oleander Cycles and rent a scooter for the day. I have to take it back by noon tomorrow. I really wanted to go to Horseshoe Bay Beach. I came to Bermuda twice last year (Sept/Oct 2018) but did not have a chance to go to that beautiful beach. There have been some changes made since I was there last. The parking area, Taxi area, and scooter parking areas have all been increased. They have added Danger signs for people who wanted to climb the cliffs. One thing that hasn’t changed is the beauty of Horseshoe Bay Beach. It may be one of the most delightful beaches I have ever been to.

The pink sand, the caves, and lagoon are still there.

 

I then drove back to the National Museum of Bermuda. This is located on the big fortress that everyone can see when they arrive by Cruise Ship. The cost is not bad ($15.pp) and there is a lot to see. The National Museum of Bermuda used to be called Bermuda Maritime Museum until the name was changed in 2009. The Museum explores the maritime and island history of Bermuda.

 

Today was a perfect weather day with warm temps (77F) with a slight breeze and sunny skies all day. I am looking forward to one more day in Bermuda.

 

Here are a few pics from today. . .

That is a bit high but given the location (and the fact they aren't exactly harvesting their meat on the island) that is a decent price.  Still hard to stomach.

 

Thanks for this detail.

Who is the Captain on the Summit? I heard Capt.Kate would be on it in June. Anyone know.

 

Thanks

I have a question. How does one go about taking a motorcycle on board? I have never seen that before, but does seem rather handy.

 

The photos are amazing and looking forward to my aft Cabin in a couple of weeks. Hopefully the will have to service tenders on port side and the ship facing out! Either way get a great view.

   We are sailing 6/16/19, our first time on Summit and first time to Bermuda. Your lovely pictures have really excited me for our trip.  The ship looks amazing!  I hope your weather holds out....as well as your luck!

Trish,

 

There is a group for the June 16th sailing, if your interested.

May seem pricey but you can pay those prices in many tourist places. Also, a cheeseburger at Tobacco Bay with no fries or drink is $13. I would have thought that prices at both places would be about the same.

I can't help with that I'm afraid, but it does seem more common than I thought.  I wondered how we kept seeing this large group on every island we visited until we saw them waiting to board Silhouette, here in Dominica.

Who is the captain on the Summit. Why is it such a secret?? Just wondering. Rumor was Capt. Kate was going to be on Summit in June. 

 

Thanks

Good morning and Welcome to DAY 6 of "LIVE" from Celebrity Summit. The last day in Bermuda will be a very sunny day. The forecast is for sunny skies, and a high of 75f. I am very happy about that. 

 

I was able to have dinner last night at Qsine and it was very good and very entertaining. Do not eat lunch if you plan in going to Qsine for dinner. I ate so much that I have to go to a Well Being Seminar tomorrow. "Secrets to a Flatter Stomach"

 

I was able to stay up for the Moon Dance Party last night. There wasn't much dancing but the music was very good.

I may scoot around this morning but I can't go for long as my scooter must be back before noon. I should have time to do some shopping at Clocktower Mallor or some of the vendors here at the dockyard. All passengers are kindly requested to be back on board no later than 2:30. Celebrity Summit will pull away from the pier slowly by 3 p.m. this afternoon.

 

Here are a few pics from last night and this morning.

 

Thanks for tuning in.

Radio, thanks once again for taking the time out of your trip to do this, and also for your beautiful photos.  I'm glad you are getting some good weather!

 

Regarding Qsine -- has anyone on the staff mentioned whether and, if so, when, it will be turned into Le Petit Chef?  There have been some rumors here on CC about this happening in August (it was supposed to have been March),  but so far that's all they are.  (Speaking only for myself, I hope it remains as Qsine but I don't think it will.)

 

Enjoy the rest of your cruise!

[TeeRick]

Radio- thanks for the great pictures and taking the time to share your experience with us.  We love Summit and now cannot wait to sail her again.  Celebrity should offer you a commission for getting all of us eager and excited!

I Am sure I missed it, what camera do you use for your clear and sharp photos.... jealous!

I have sailed on Norwegian Escape, and even though Celebrity Summit seems big to me, she is dwarfed by the massive Norwegian Escape. . .

Thanks for the nice comments Bo1953, I love doing "LIVE"  reports onboard and I have posted over 50 "LIVE"'s on Cruise Critic.

 

I use several cameras but for this "LIVE", I have been using my GoPro Hero 7 and and a Google Pixel 3.

Thanks again for your very nice comments.

You should join my group which I am not allowed to mention on Cruise Critic. But if you wanted to see more "Cruising with Radio" I'm sure you know how to do a search on another Social Media site.

Captain Ioannis (sp) is the Master. Capt Kate is no longer on Summit. She's on vacation for several more weeks, back to EQ in Julyish, then onto Edge in August thru September.

 

BTW it isn't a secret, this was posted previously and maybe Radio didn't see your question?? Sometimes CC is wonky.
