I haven't been since before (you know what) and back then payment for transit fares was cash only. Is that still the case at the Visitor Center by the Dockyard or in Hamilton?
Thanks
We took an Uber back in 2022; we had to walk a block to get picked up. Amtrak is close by. The bus was running regularly. And the train station is quick to the tracks, not a maze you have to navigate.
I rode from the dockyard a few years ago. Brought the bike back on the ferry. Make sure you get a good map. The trail wasn't always well marked and some places it was the main road - often with no shoulder, you're riding along a wall. Also hilly near the golf course. I probably felt safest riding down Front Street into Hamilton, the drivers gave me room.
Make sure you bring water (and a helmet).
I've had the corkage fee imposed less than half the time. Bottle not hidden in my carry-on, if they send me to the table, I go, if not, I just board without being charged.
If you ask...
The walk back up is brutal and with kids... worse. And the buses have restrictions on what you can carry on if you had your own chairs or whatever. Sometimes revealing bathing suits unwelcome, also wet ones.
As someone who has won a lot of trivia contests (both onboard and in bars) I hope they get rid of prizes of value; it gives people incentives to cheat over nothing (and causes bitterness when someone feels they have been cheated).
People who typically do well are more interested in how well they do and not some marker or luggage tag...
They can't do that. With passengers overtly cheating, they'll have more conflicts over prizes of value than for useless trinkets. If someone wants a highlighter so badly that they'll cheat at a silly trivia game, they can have it.
I gave up on the games last year; we had a group that showed up for every game who had been on the ship the week before and knew what the questions would be... not the crowd I hang with.
I asked about museum accessibility for a friend a few months ago. Response was:
"Yes, the Museum is wheelchair and electric scooter accessible friendly and there is an elevator in our Commissioner’s House that can take you to the 2nd & 3rd floors. You access the house through our Defense exhibit on the lower level. You may ask the Ticket Office Concierge to direct you when you arrive."
It's more similar than it is different. We prefer to lock in our dining times the first night on my Time dining, Wear pretty much whatever you want regardless of the "suggested theme" for the night.
