  1. We did a family cruise for my 70th.birthday many years ago.One of my children contacted Old Navy .They printed shirts with what we wanted to have .
  2. Hamilton,in my opinion is the nicest city in Bermuda.I was never in Bermuda in a September but I was there in several July’s and it was never excessively hot. Enjoy your cruise.
  3. We booked an inside cabin once and a porthole cabin once. Two cruises with balconies and one with a suite. We never requested a suite but had a horrible experience on a cruise so bad that a representative of the cruise line offered a suite at the cost of an OV. Every other cruise has been a OV,our preference.We very rarely went on a cruise less than 14 nights.
  4. My first cruise in 1973 on the Cunard Ambassador the seven night cruise for my wife and I was $699.00 including taxes.
  5. On our first cruise in 1973 in all the pictures of Mrs.66 and I no formal attire.
  6. We were at a street fair and a woman had a booth with a sign identifying herself as a TA .We went to speak to her and she said that for every cruise booked she gives a gift.We booked a cruise and received a travel bag.For our second cruise she gave us good quality binoculars .For our third cruise a good quality carryon.
  7. In 1973 we spent a day at the Hamilton Princess Hotel.It was a pink building with pink sand on their beach.
  8. Every coin is sold with a Certificate of Authenicity.The mint is actually called the Bermuda Monetary Authority.It is located in Hamilton. When we returned to the ship we went to Guest Services and requested that they put the items in their safe rather than the cabin safe.
  9. I was in a lot of pain during the night but I am feeling better now. I go back to the Oral Surgeon Thursday.
  10. I tried to catch up on all the posts I missed from not being on line that much recently for various reasons,however there is just too much to go through . I hope your granddaughter will feel better very soon.
  11. An interesting place is the Bermuda Mint.We went there about 10 years ago and bought gold coins as well as silver coins.We never met anyone who also did that .
  12. We have been to Bermuda 12 times.The first time in 1973 .We were young and healthy.We walked and went to many places . Subsequent visits we toured by bus and ferry.The highlight of our first ferry ride was when we saw a deckhand wearing a Brooklyn tee shirt.He lived in Brooklyn but his parents were born in Bermuda .
  13. I am not a steak person .However,I have friends who are and over the past 50 years I have gone to many steak specialty restaurants.The best in the opinion of my friends is Gallagher’s.I personally eat their shrimp dishes .
  14. It was a 7 night cruise from NY to Bermuda.We were in Bermuda several days and found activities for every day..There were also night time movies on the ship.Although my wife and I traveled alone we became very friendly with other cruisers as well as many crew members.One night we went to a night club with both crew members as well as other passengers.
  15. I have never not been able to sleep at night.I meditate a few minutes before going to bed.That always works for ms.
  16. Our first cruise was in 1973 on a Cunard ship.There was only one restaurant.Passengers were assigned to tables but they had the choice of tables for 4 or 6.There were no shore excursions. The only activities were skeet shooting,shuffleboard and a pool. The evening shows were great ,outstanding well known singers and comedians. Every cabin had a porthole.
  17. Thanks,MJ.One of the people working in the dentist office highly recommended ice cream.The medication that I am on causes extreme drowsiness and I am sleeping a lot more than usual .
