I was trying to edit that in from PC and it told me I had timed out. 😱 No idea, sorry. Thought I took a picture of the store front. But can't find it. https://bermudarentalcar.com/ looks like $150 per day for little one, and $200 per day for the other one I'm back on phone now. Not sure I like using PC with phone attached.

Ships at that time were still docking at St. George and Hamilton. Though there were shops and things to do at the dockyards it didn't seem all that commercial. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll cover it coming up, but Dockyards has ferry port, bus line, restaurants, beach (for fee), museums, shops, bars/pubs. 90%+ housed in original British buildings Things are a little on the pricey side Map, obviously not all shops or restaurants are listed Edited October 27, 2022 by John&LaLa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted October 27, 2022 Author #457 Share Posted October 27, 2022 One thing I will comment on is a std theme across Royal Caribbean, and likely every cruise line If and when they have port talks, they never really explain how to get the most of the local transportation, location of nearby attractions, etc. All they want to share is how to spend money in shops. Their shops. Obviously this is a ploy to steer you towards their shore excursions I'm anticipating a major information disappointment on the World Cruise I recall being in Crete or Cyprus years ago, and they never let us know their was a free shuttle into town operated by the local government. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted October 27, 2022 Author #458 Share Posted October 27, 2022 This hybrid approach isn't working. Need to move photos to PC then post or go back tobjust using phone. Definetely need a better system in place before UWC. I am looking at replacing PC soon. My old Dell is about 7 years old. This discussion can carry over to the Bella thread if y'all don't mind. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

American Express is offering a great cash back offer right now if you purchase a Dell on-line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare John&LaLa Posted October 27, 2022 Author #462 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Back to departure day Left cabin just after 7 and headed up to Chops for final breakfast. Starboard elevator lobby was closed and the port side one was full of folks with luggage wanting to depart. Kind of a log jam, but not unexpected. Kind of shamed folks into not going up to go down, and our wait wasn't bad. Breakfast was nice, had my first Eggs Benedict. Said farewell to some Pinnacle friends and left around 8am No elevator wait outside WJ, and pretty much walked right off ship. Grabbed luggage, went thru face scanner and off ship at 8:15 Called Jerry, and he was there in 20 minutes. Easy and cheap. Sorry I didn't investigate the garage parking situation. I do think they use a pay before you get to car like a hospital. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
