meatball_nyc Posted September 7, 2014 #26 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Hi everyone! Went to Bermuda for the first time. We went to Horseshoe Bay last Sept 3. Took the #7 bus from the dockyard w/o any problem. Going back to the ship we took the bus with the sign "special". Two "special" buses arrived around 3pm. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Thank you for this info. Hope you had a great time! ~Robin Every Day at Sea is a Great Day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin MarcnFran Posted September 7, 2014 #27 Share Posted September 7, 2014 We will be on the Celebrity Eclipse arriving at the Dockyard on 11/11 for a day and a half visit. Does anyone know if this shuttle service will be running post season? Or how any of the transportation services are post season? We definitely want to visit Horseshoe Bay Beach.

x lindsay x Posted September 9, 2014 #28 Share Posted September 9, 2014 My husband and I took the $16 "shuttle" last week - on Tuesday the day the Summit and Breakaway both get into Bermuda, traditionally the busiest day for HSB and it was super easy. The shuttles were closer to the where the ships dock than the buses and they take you all the way down to the beach area (both of which could be beneficial for those with slight mobility issues). The vans we were in took no more than 10 people on each trip so there was plenty of room and no waiting or schlepping back up the hill. If it were just the two of us I would use this option again because of its convenience factor. If you are super committed to buying the 3 day pass I would probably wait for the bus and go up and down the hill but for us it just wasn't worth it.

Do you just pay cash to the driver, or do you need to get a token? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Hi, Not sure the shuttle will be active in November... Busses and ferries are on a winter schedule, but active ( no ferry to St-George ) on limited hours... But of course the regular busses are always in fonction, it's also the regular transit system for the residents. Take bus #7 from Dockyard, it's 4$ per way and about 30 minutes away.

jules71 Posted September 12, 2014 #31 Share Posted September 12, 2014 We took bus #7 this past Sunday. It dropped us off at Black Bay and continued on to HSB. What time did you get on the bus? We will be on the Grandeur and don't dock until 3pm Sunday. Wondering what are the chances of getting the bus to and from HSB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njhorseman Posted September 18, 2014 #33 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) What time did you get on the bus? We will be on the Grandeur and don't dock until 3pm Sunday. Wondering what are the chances of getting the bus to and from HSB? According to this poster who just returned from a cruise on the Grandeur, the only way to get to Horseshoe Bay that late in the day would be to take a cruise ship excursion or a taxi: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showpost.php?p=44148202&postcount=4 Edited September 18, 2014 by njhorseman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x lindsay x Posted September 26, 2014 #34 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Do you just pay cash to the driver, or do you need to get a token? You get a paper ticket, they are sold at the same spot you get the tokens/passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsideCruiser Posted November 5, 2014 #35 Share Posted November 5, 2014 We were there Sat Oct 25th on Explorer of the Seas. Took the "Special" Express bus from Dockyard to Horseshoe. Took the #7 back from Warwick to Dockyard. Everyone very friendly. Ticket counter, drivers. Great experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatball_nyc Posted November 5, 2014 #36 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Good to know. Thanks for the info. ~Robin Every Day at Sea is a Great Day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebas030 Posted November 6, 2014 #37 Share Posted November 6, 2014 We went to HSB on Sunday when we arrived on the 26th and the "old" 7$ per person per way shuttle system was still available. We had priority debarkation, so we left the ship within the first group of people and we waited about 10 minutes for the small van to fill-up and we headed to the beach...we were the first to arrive at the beach. The other shuttle at 16$ per person round trip arrived about 15 minutes later. We had a blast like always !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
