Our 2nd Carnival Venezia B2B - 14 more days of "Fun Italian Style" (with pics) - 8/31/24

[DanJ]

We were also on that 930am ferry. Wish they had a later ferry back that day as we were there for too little time and no way was I riding the bus all the way back lol

How is it that we never met on this cruise? I'll be posting our day in St. George shortly. Let me know if Patti caught you with her camera.

We make our way over to the ferry slip. Here are the Venezia and the Vision OTS docked at the Dockyard…..

 

 

 

There was quite a large group of people waiting to take the ferry, and the line for tokens was pretty long. No problem as they also take cash onboard. Paying cash is $5 pp, and tokens are $4.50pp. The ferry easily accommodated everyone, and we sat at a table in the back on the lower level. Once the ferry started moving, Patti went out in the back to take pictures. Here are some views as the ferry left the Dockyard…..

We are cruising along the North shore of Bermuda as we head to St. George…..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We are now sailing past Fort St. Catherine…..

I'm 6'5 and I'm pretty sure I was wearing a blue Toronto Blue Jays t-shirt in St George if I stick out in any of your photos lol. 

[Jamman54]

We are now sailing through the Town Cut and into St. George Harbour….

 

 

 

 

 

 

The ferry drops us off at Hunter’s Wharf….

 

 

We make friends with the Towne Crier……

 

 

 

Here is a map of St. George…..

 

 

Patti is checking out the gas prices here. That converts to $8.74 a gallon!!

 

 

 

To be continued……

[Jamman54]

We walk into Somers Wharf……

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After walking for a while my hip was starting to bother me again, so I needed to find a Husband Daycare. This place fit the bill perfectly……

[Jamman54]

Here are some views inside the WhiteHorse Pub & Restaurant…..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’m in my happy place now…..

Great memories there! I've had MANY....MANY drinks there 

[Jamman54]

Patti is checking out the King’s Square…..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the dunking stool. They usually dunk a wench at noon, but not on Tuesdays. Apparently wenches need days off too!

Looking at Patti's photos we so want to try again. WE had a great time in Manhattan for 3 days in 2019, headed for Bermuda and Humberto happened. We have sailed many times since but have yet to reschedule that trip. Looks like it's going back on the list. Thanks for the inspiration Jeff.

Hey Scott,  I didn’t realize that you hadn't made it to Bermuda. I know that you've been to Charleston. Lol. You need to book it. Bermuda is a great island! 😎

Hey Dan! Is the tall guy in the blue shirt you? 

 

[Crusin Karen]

Sorry about your Patriots! Now you can devote all your attention to the NYY! ⚾️👏 I loved the Enchanted Princess. First time in 17 years 11 months on a non CCL ship. But looking at Patti’s pictures of Venezia that I’ve cruised4x makes me feel homesick! I’ll be back next May! Can’t believe we used to sail thru that cut on Horizon and Zenith!  

[Jamman54]

Patti continues her stroll around the town of St. George…..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Patti catches a native in their proper work attire…..

 

 

To be continued…..

[Jamman54]

Patti is thirsty and hungry, so she returns to the WhiteHorse Pub & Restaurant for a drink, and we ordered some food for lunch…..

 

 

 

Patti had a cheeseburger and I had a breakfast platter……

 

 

 

The Towne Crier came in to cool off, and when he wasn't looking I stole his bell and became the Towne Crier for a few minutes……

 

 

We hung out here until it was time to catch the 2pm ferry back to the Dockyard. If we miss this ferry then it’s a long bus ride, or an expensive cab ride back. We make our way back to Hunter’s Wharf…..

 

 

 

The ferry leaves right on time, so we are heading back to the Dockyard…..

 

 

 

 

 

To be continued…..

[Jamman54]

Once again we are sailing through the Towne Cut…..

 

 

 

 

The Vision OTS has left the Dockyard and is heading back to Baltimore….

 

 

We were back in our cabin by 3pm, where we found that Jason had left today’s towel creature…..

 

 

We sat out on our balcony and watched all the action out in the Great Sound…..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To be continued…..

[Jamman54]

The ferry that we were on today passes by…..

 

 

 

 

It looks like the people on the Restless Native are having a good time…..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Glass Bottom boat passes by…..

 

 

 

To be continued…..

[Jamman54]

We waited until 6pm when it was cooler, to leave the ship and head over to Bermuda Fun Golf……

 

 

 

Here are some more of those free range chickens disrupting traffic…..

 

 

 

 

 

We have arrived at Bermuda Fun Golf……

 

 

This is a really fun course. The “sand” traps are really white rugs so that you can putt in them…..

 

 

 

 

 

To be continued…..

[Jamman54]

Here are some more Fun Golf views as Patti and I played the course…..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Darn!! I’m in the sand trap again…….

 

 

To be continued……

[Jamman54]

The sun is starting to drop in the west…..

 

 

 

 

This looks like a nice comfortable fishing spot…..

 

 

Here are a couple of views of Snorkel Beach and the Fortress…..

 

 

 

Patti and I continue to play on…..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To be continued…..

[Jamman54]

We didn’t play as well as we did the last time we were here, but I managed to beat Patti by a stroke 70 to 71. Afterwards we grabbed some drinks and went up on the Sunset Terrace which overlooks the Fun Golf…..

 

 

 

 

 

Here are some more views from the Sunset Terrace…..

 

 

 

 

Good Vibrations is heading out on a sunset cruise…..

 

 

We stayed up there enjoying the cool air until it was almost dark, watching the lights on the golf course pop on. We say goodbye to Fun Golf and Snorkel Park, following the big foot prints back to the ship…..

 

 

 

 

Once back on board we made our way up to the Lido Marketplace to grab a bite to eat. Patti made herself a salad, and I enjoyed a plate of fried chicken and mashed potatoes. Afterwards, we grabbed some ice cream and made our way back to the cabin for the night.

 

Coming up next: Our final day in Bermuda and a Cruise Critic meet up!
