Firetrk Posted August 21, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I need your opinions- We will be in Bermuda for 1 day next month on a Saturday from 8-4. We have been to Bermuda before but never got to see St George. Plan A- Go see St George area. Unfortunately it looks like the ferry does not run there on Saturdays. So I don't think we will have enough time to see St George. If we go by bus I'm not sure that gives us enough time to really see things. I'm worried about seeing everything and getting back to the ship in time. Plan B- Take a bus or taxi (Not sure how much it is for 2 people) to go see Gibbs Lighthouse, go check out the sea glass, maybe go to the Swizzle Inn for lunch and then head back to the dock area and walk around. Not sure if all of this is feasible by bus. I think we would take bus 7 or 8 for all of this. Is that correct? If anyone has any opinions or tips I would appreciate it.

sebas030 Posted August 21, 2014 #2 Share Posted August 21, 2014 On the date I am travelling to Bermuda there is also no ferry, but Ncl has a ship sponsored excursion to St-George via ferry. Maybe there is the same thing on your ship ?? If not, you could always try to find someone on your roll call that would like to see the same things as you and you could split a cab ? Have fun ?

Firetrk Posted August 23, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I will have to look and see if they offer this as an excursion through Royal Caribbean. Don't really want to pay the ships prices but if we want to see St George we may just have to. That's a great idea checking with my roll call. I will do that also. Thanks!

What date are you arriving in Bermuda? The Dockyard to St. George ferry usually operates Monday - Friday but I will confirm once I know your date of arrival. If you have any other Bermuda questions, let me know. Your New Bermuda Friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go by ferry to the City of Hamilton and the bus to St. George you will be pushing it. Plan B would be better but let me take a look at the Plan again and I will get back to you. If you have further Bermuda questions, let me know. Your New Bermuda Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your New Bermuda Friend Do you know if the new HBB shuttle can be purchased for one way only? Or is the $16 per person round trip price the only price available? If you can purchase one way, do you know what the price is? Thanks in advance. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComeOnLetsGo Posted August 29, 2014 #10 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I spoke to one of the operators and they stated yes, you can purchase a one way fare of $8.00 as they understand people do choose to visit other locations before or after the beach. I spoke to the person this morning and the information could change without notice. Your New Bermuda Friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
