js Posted April 4, 2014 #76 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Hi. For our party of 6, Coco Reef Resort will be $354, which includes, as you know lunch. Would you think this is a nice day for $354? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. I don't see any need to do day passes on Bermuda. But if thats your thing I am sure it will be a nice day. All who have been there have made positive reports. ( I am not opposed to day passes. Some islands I consider them a necessity and have done a bunch. But Bermuda I prefer doing freestyle. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjde Posted April 5, 2014 #79 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Several have mentioned 6 in a taxi--do they use vans or something? How is the weather the end of Sept? I doubt we'd swim, so would it still be worthwhile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt we'd swim, so would it still be worthwhile? I have gone in September and the weather was good and the water temperature was good. It is a great time to go except for that it is hurricane season. So there is a chance you could go to Canada or the Bahamas. That never happened to me but one year in September we had to leave Bermuda a day early. The weather was perfect in Bermuda but a hurricane was coming up the east coast so our ship had to go south and come up behind the hurricane rather than sail thru it to rerurn to New York. In spite of that one experience I have booked in September several times since then because the weather, air and water temperature are pretty good. I don't think the odds of a hurricane effecting any one sailing are actually that high. It is only a possibilty. In July and August it can be hot and humid in Bermuda and the ships full of kids. May I have found rainy and the water temperature too cool. This year I am going in June but I considered a September sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjde Posted April 5, 2014 #82 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I keep reading Horseshoe Bay is the prettiest beach on the island. How does this compare? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles4515 Posted April 5, 2014 #83 Share Posted April 5, 2014 (edited) I keep reading Horseshoe Bay is the prettiest beach on the island. How does this compare? Horseshoe is the prettiest public beach that I have seen. I have seen a very pretty private beach but none of us will be able to use that one as you have to be a member of a golf club. Horseshoe has facilities and chair and umbrella rentals. It has lifeguards. It will also be the most crowded beach because it has the faciities. Farther to the left when facing the ocean it is a lot less crowded as people tend to congregate close to the facilities. If you walk farther to the left beyond the main beach there are pretty coves with few people. There are pretty very beaches as you walk farther along but no facilities. Horseshoe is the closest south shore beach to the Dockyard. If the weather is good Horseshoe is the beach I will go to in June. The beach near Elbow where Coco is located is somewhat pretty but not as pretty in my opinion as Horseshoe. YMMV. It is also closer to the sewage outflow...

sjde Posted April 5, 2014 #86 Share Posted April 5, 2014 And Horseshoe is a closer cab ride from the Dockyard area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SailBadtheSinner Posted April 5, 2014 #87 Share Posted April 5, 2014 And Horseshoe is a closer cab ride from the Dockyard area? Horseshoe is about a 20 minute cab ride from the Dockyard; the distance is about 10 miles. The new fare will be about $35.00 for up to 4 passengers. You wrote - Horseshoe is a closer cab ride from the Dockyard area - Closer than what???? SBtS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SailBadtheSinner Posted April 5, 2014 #89 Share Posted April 5, 2014 The beach at Coco Reef Resort Yes, Horseshoe is closer to the Dockyard than Coco if traveling by bus, scooter, or taxi; however, many, that have been to CRR, recommend first taking the ferry to Hamilton, and taking a taxi to CRR from there. This brings the taxi fare down to about $15.00 for 4 passengers, but there still is the ferry fare. SBtS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
