Interesting docking.  Watched NCL and others over the years and they normally go farther out in basin and do a more gradual turn then side dock last minute.

Breakfast in the restaurant.  Fresh squeezed orange juice and eggs Benedict. 

[Mycykfamilytime]

Sharing the dock with Mariner of the Seas.

Our view for the next 3 days!

We’re on a boat…yet another one… to St. George!

It was fine for me this morning because I am seriously struggling with all the consuming I’ve been doing!  But I’d agree if I was really hungry!  I’ll ask for extra sauce on the side next time.

St. George sights.  Town Hall, perfumeries, history museum, St. Peter’s Church, the Slave cemetery, and the walk to Tobacco Bay.

Tobacco Bay, St. George.   Dark and Stormy 🌊

Walk back to the ferry.   The big white building is the newish St. Regis.

Best meal of the cruise.  Hugo spritz and a room service freshly made pepperoni and olive pizza eaten on the balcony…  It was seriously good!

That pizza looks so yummy and I’ve lived in NYC having access to the best pizza in the world.  😋

I love St. George’s.  So beautiful and the beaches are great.  We love St. Catherine’s beach the most (by the St Regis Hotel) but they’re all wonderful in Bermuda.  Enjoy!

Deep couch sitting.  Getting in some quality book time.   Reading hotel Nantucket, I like the occasional chick lit as the break from my usual British mysteries.  I read a lot of international news so when I read for fun I’m not very sophisticated.  
 

Send me your drink suggestions!!!  I’m not a huge drinker normally but I’m trying to do my part this cruise.  For cocktails, I tend to like tart and fruity but necessarily super sweet.  I like gin… That being said as long as it doesn’t have bourbon, I’m down for trying it.

Ahh shoot we debated walking over there to look for Seaglass but we were scared off by the St Regis and whether we should try to catch the 2:00 ferry back.

Next time!  😀.  Also, don’t be scared off by the hotel being there.  The beach is public right next to the hotel section of the beach (same beach slightly to the left of the hotel).  There was only one other person there with us when we went in July.  And we didn’t have to pay $1,000 per night to enjoy it!  Yes, there is sea glass on that beach too but be careful taking it; I believe they may confiscate it from you at security.  You can also buy Bermuda sea glass crafts at the Dockyard Craft Market if you want to take some home.

Apparently, there’s a beach club on the opposite side of the Fort that all the cruise staff go to to party.  Might be a fun time for anyone who can stay up later than me.  AND there’s a big street festival in Hamilton.  I need to take a nap! 

[Mycykfamilytime]

Bon Voyage, Mariner!   Ive always thought Mariner seems like a nice  boat.  All the fun things, but not quite as big as the Oasis Class.   I’ve never sailed her though.

Love love love pizza on MSC!  Love their crust!  2 MSC cruises ago, DW threw away my half eaten crust when I went to get drinks.  To this date I still tease her that she owes me 2 pieces of pizza crust from MSC.

Showertini

[Mycykfamilytime]

Pre sunset, post shower, pre dinner balcony chill.   Audiobook: “The Summer I Turned Pretty”. This may have put me over the chicklit edge.  🙄.  I’m going to finish it but seriously.

My kids enjoy having a "shower beer". You are much more classy with the shower-tini! I'll have to remember that for my next cruise.  On our last sailing I had the Tiramisu and mentioned to our waiter I like when they are made using rum, so he got me a huge shot of rum to pour over it!  It wasn't quite the same, but gave us a laugh, especially when he brought some rum with my husbands order a few nights later.

Showed my DW the showertini picture and she’s planning on doing that on our MSC cruise this December!
