Default NCL Transfer to Horseshoe Bay in Bermuda

I see that NCL offers a $25 transfer to and from Horseshoe Bay. If we are docked at King's Warf for three days, is this transfer good for those three days? Or, is it $25 each day one wants to go to Horseshoe?

I have one NCL excursion booked and thought I would go to Horseshoe the other two days.

Does anyone know how this transfer works?

I understand there is quite a line for buying passes for the public transportation system and would just like a way to get to and from Horseshoe.

Thanks.

Don't do it. That's for one roundtrip to Horseshoe Bay.

Buy the transportation pass which is $28 for a 3 day pass and unlimited number of trips. You may not need a 3 day and could get away with the 2 day pass for $20 but the passes are consecutive days and that needs to be taken into consideration. The lines aren't all THAT long.

Not only is it a good deal, but Bermuda provides public buses from King's Warf to Horseshoe Bay with no other stops. These buses are marked "Special" and you can use the transportation pass on them.

Yes the two or three day passes are the way to go and that is for the busses and ferry. We went to St. George by ferry and Long Bay by bus. This way you get to see so much of the island.

I agree with the others.

A transportation pass is the way to go. Unlimited bus and ferry passage is what you get. And getting around the island is VERY easy. When the ships are in port, they add special busses to the fleet to get pax to and from Horseshoe, and all along that route.

Make sure to check out if they sell the passes on board!

If you are going to St. George, check out the schedule for the SPEED ferry. It will obviously get you there faster, so you have more time to walk around.

There are two places in the Dockyard you can buy passes. The busy location is on the pier just after you exit customs. The second location is in the visitors center; which is on the same side of the street and just past the Dockyard bus stop and ferry stop; which is across the street from the red British style phone booths.
