Has anyone had success pre purchasing bus tokens i Bermuda?

We will be docked at Crown Bay on Celebrity in 11-23.

Taking an excursion to St. John.

Does the ferry pick you up at Crown Bay or somewhere else.

Thanks.

God willing, we'll be taking a cruise to Bermuda in October 22. We'll be arriving the first night at 7:00 p.m. and spending the next two days there leaving at 4:00 on the last day. We want to make the most of our time there. I can find plenty of suggestions for the daylight hours but nothing for the evening hours. For those that have traveled there by cruise ship, do they have a curfew? And what would you suggest one do or see at night? TIA. 

Following, on RCI 10-16-22

Do ship passengers have to submit a covid test before debarking in Barbados?

Usually do fttf bht with lower passenger load didn'tdoit on 8-30-21 Mavi  out of Canaveral. Would have  een a waste if money. Basically walked thru all check points and boarded. Maybe different in Oct .

I am thinking of taking a taxi from Amber Cove to Luperon to see the area.

It is about 45 mins to get there. 

Any experience with this trip or cautions will be appreciated.

Anyone know when Carnival will be embarking from Ft. Lauderdale again?

What is your opinion on November 21 sailings happening?

Thanks

Sure, it’s smart to research early! 😀

Most folks choose one of the ship excursions, either the Rebel Yell cat or the inflatable powerboat. The problem with any non-private charter is your time in White Bay is limited to 2 - 3 hours.

 

The other reasonably priced option is the public ferry out of West End. The ferry leaves West End at 10AM and leaves Jost at 2PM giving you ~3 hours in White Bay.

You would taxi 20 - 25 minutes to the New Horizon ferry terminal, ferry into Great Harbor and take a short taxi over to White Bay. Figure ~$68/pp for round trip using the taxi/ferry/taxi option...

 

How do you book the taxi/ferry/taxi option?

Duty Free and a good selection of shops and stall are in and around the port area.  Small supermarket through the tunnel by the Bay.

Caution:  If flying home, check the alcoholic strength of local rums as some are up to 99% (Carriacou)

Also, some "Bush Rum" may look attractive,  reasonable, fun, but the "Local Erbs" inside the bottle, used as infusions, may cause an arrest at US Immigration.

Is there a sidewalk in the tunnel?

Flew in to Nassau a few times in the 80's. Had a great time.

Took mopeds all over the island. Found local restaurants we went to after dark and felt very safe.

Started going there on cruises in 2010 and every year it has degraded some shop owners are outright crooks. Avoid it now. 

That is a real worry

And next will be August 31, and then September 30, then October 31, then November 30 ....................

I have a deposit on a November cruise with final payment due in August. My options seem to be to cancel and lose deposit, make final payment and take cruise if it sails or get a fcc if it is cancelled. 

Another question is will the Caribbean ports on the itinerary be open or will it end being a cruise to RCI private islands.

Time will tell.

We drive to our departure port and hand our luggage over to the handlers while keeping a small carryon bag with us.

Under this scenario, has anyone experienced a loss of the checked bags?

I have not but wondering if I still need a carryon.

From another site an interview with Mr Baley

 

"I think in the beginning, there will not be a buffet in the beginning, that's how I see it. It depends again upon the timing. We will utilize the space, we will utilize the Windjammer, but in all probability it won't be a classical buffet. It will be something more akin to a restaurant."

Like Morrisons?

I heard that some ships are being refueled by barges while anchored in the Bahamas

Can you post the ncl link to the letter

I have been following current ship activity on Cruise Tracker. Most of the ships off Florida appear to be anchored with some moving. The anchored and the moving seem to change daily. What is going on with that?

I wonder how they’ll be conducted moving forward on some ships. I love the ones held in the theater, bars, dining room etc. the ones outside shoulder to shoulder... maybe not as much. 

Princess was held inside at various locations, great. Hate having to fight to get to the muster location and stand and wait for latecomers. unfair to the rest.

I would like to but am hesitant due to my husband being over 70 and  requiring a doctors note.  

The drs note was required under temporary rules. Waiting to see if it becomes a permanent rule. Carnival doesn't reference a drs note.

I am and I am

We all have our ways

I figured they have fake service animals I’m sure someone can make up a fake Doctor. I hope they can afford the malpractice insurance. 
 

In my opinion 

Malpractice would come in if you sue your dr. Rci wants the letter as a defense against your action against them. Prob already covered in the cruise contract.
