Host Caroline Posted July 5, 2011 #2 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Just curious about whether a person can a buy a drink any cheaper in Bermuda than they can on the ship? No, nowhere that I've been. I will say a Guiness draft was $6 and it's same price here but my favorite Bermuda drink (Raspberry Jolly Rancher) is $9 and worth ever sip of it! Very similar drink here is $7.

Rare Laszlo Posted July 5, 2011 #3 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Not even close. Two weeks ago my wife and I went to the Frog & Onion in the Dockyard. We had fish n chips, I got a beer $10.00, my wife got a mixed drink 13.50. Almost double the price of the ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SailBadtheSinner Posted July 6, 2011 #9 Share Posted July 6, 2011 King's Wharf does not have another name. It is one of the wharves located at the Royal Naval Dockyard (Dockyard for short); the other wharf at the Dockyard is Heritage Wharf. Cruise ships that are unable to dock in Hamilton or St George will usually end of at either of the 2 wharves at the Dockyard. BTW, the Dockyard area is sometimes referred to as the West End. I've attached a map of the Dockyard to clear up any confusion: SBtS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmreddin Posted July 6, 2011 Author #10 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Thank you. That is very interesting. Now I understand. Glad we don't have to tender to the island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njhorseman Posted July 6, 2011 #11 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Thank you. That is very interesting. Now I understand. Glad we don't have to tender to the island. Too bad not all the cruise lines understand. Some still list the destination on their itinerary as Kings Wharf (which until a couple of years ago when Heritage Wharf was built was the sole pier at the Dockyard) even if their ships berth at Heritage Wharf.
