awatt Posted July 24, 2004 #1 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Are these offered in both Hamilton and St George's and is there a reason to do this in one place vs the other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueberry2 Posted July 25, 2004 #2 Share Posted July 25, 2004 They are offered in both towns. Have done it in Hamilton and got into residential area away from main part of town which was interesting and different. Have never done st. Georges.

CruisFran Posted July 25, 2004 #3 Share Posted July 25, 2004 We have done carriage rides in both Hamilton and St. George. Both are great. Take the 1 hour in Hamilton, 1/2 hour doesn't get you out of the hussle bustle of the "city". Enjoyed the St. George one also...it goes out to Gates Fort to view Town Cut (where the ships come through), and all the way around, past Ft. Catherine, Alexandra Battery, Tobacco Bay...and back in the square. Both are worthwhile IMO, nice relaxing way to see the area sights. Happy planning!!!

awatt Posted July 25, 2004 Author #4 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Do you have to book them through the ship? Or can you just walk off the dhip and find your own driver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueberry2 Posted July 26, 2004 #5 Share Posted July 26, 2004 You can just walk off the ship. In Hamilton they are right next to the ship. In st. Georges they were in the square in town- you can't miss them. No problem to grab one when you want to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistachio42 Posted August 1, 2004 #6 Share Posted August 1, 2004 What is an average cost for a carriage ride for 2 people in Hamilton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisFran Posted August 1, 2004 #7 Share Posted August 1, 2004 It's been a few years Pistachio, so I'm not up-to-date on the cost. My guess would be about $40. Hopefully someone else has a more recent rate. Fran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macdays1 Posted August 17, 2004 #8 Share Posted August 17, 2004 I have taken the carriage ride in St. George, but I have booked through the ship. I recently read somewhere that these can ONLY be booked that way. I would double check on that, if I were you, because you don't want to miss out.

Newcruiser00 Posted August 17, 2004 #9 Share Posted August 17, 2004 Hi....We were on the July 18th cruise....Boston to Bermuda..... We booked the St. Georges carriage ride through NCL. It cost $33 per person and it lasted about an hour and a half. We had a great time!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selliott Posted August 21, 2004 #10 Share Posted August 21, 2004 We just returned on 8/15 from the Empress of the Seas. We took a carriage ride in Hamilton and the cost was $30 for 1/2hr.. I was with two 11 yr. olds that really didn't want to do more than 1/2 tour. It was very nice. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selliott Posted August 26, 2004 #12 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Hi, The 1/2 hour carriage ride was $30 for the entire group, not per person. Have a wonderful time. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
