I watched you guys dock this morning, looks like it's going to be a beautiful day in Bermuda.

 

Thanks for your thoughts earlier on the room. It looks amazing...the balcony may be small, but the views look outstanding. :D

 

Great work on the review!

I am wondering which side of the ship has the better view? I am most likely going to book Escape in 2018 and want to know whether to book a port or starboard balcony. Thanks again for the live review!!

There's no real way to know which side of the ship will be facing the dock. It varies from week to week. The view from both sides is better than my window at home though. :)

I have been watching ship in port webcam. Last week starboard side is close to dock this week port side is next to dock. So if this pattern holds next week when I'm on Breakaway starboard will be next to dock. I have aft balcony that will mean I will have view of water. Would rather have view of island but like stated earlier it's better than my view at home.

Please Let us know if you see a lot of America Cup boats practicing. I thought I read that the grandstands were going to right there at the dockyard.

I have seen a few boats sailing haven't been able to make out anything that looks like grandstands but viewing on my phone. It's easy to get on webcam website is http://www.portbermudawebcam.com

Looks like a gorgeous day! Have a great time exploring!

When the camera pans all the way to the right, it does look like there are some event-type structures under construction. I bet that's where they'll be.

[Sue1260]

I thought I saw those structures also but isn't prelimarory cup events starting in 2 weeks

[AndyT3]

Looks like your having some beautiful weather!

 

Watching the webcam makes me wish we were back right now!

 

Anyway, thank you for taking the time during your vacation to keep up on this thread; we all appreciate it greatly!

Loving this review. So tempted to try the Bermuda from NY some time soon

Depends on the time of year. This is an example of my back yard in the fall:

Your view is significantly better than mine! ;)

Good Afternoon Cruise Critics! We made it back onboard after a perfect morning at Horseshoe Bay

 

 

Phone battery is fried, heading to get some food, then will post a bunch of pictures and impressions. There is an America's Cup Village being built (built) right down from the dockyard. It was tough to get a good picture in the taxi

 

 

 

Did not see any boats practicing, but our taxi driver said they are around.

 

Thanks for the nice comments and glad it is enjoyable. Also as we pulled in I thought we would have a dockyard view but we turned at the last minute and we have the ocean/island view.

The grandstands are to be built on the bay side of America's Cup Village facing the course.

I have been watching ship in port webcam. Last week starboard side is close to dock this week port side is next to dock. So if this pattern holds next week when I'm on Breakaway starboard will be next to dock. I have aft balcony that will mean I will have view of water. Would rather have view of island but like stated earlier it's better than my view at home.

My wife and I will be on the ship with you

I agree with you. I believe my Starboard balcony will have an island view next week

This week can't go fast enough packed and so excited. Did you join the roll call? They scheduled a meet and greet.

[waterfal13]

This is so awesome! I am late to the party, but leaving on Sunday on the same trip and super excited. This is our first time in the Haven. I LOVE all your reviews, photos and videos. Thank you so much for posting!

We took a taxi this morning and the cost was $32 the two of us. (Edit Mrs. S told me it was $32 )

 

 

On the way back we took a packed mini van fir $7.50 pp. Total with $2 tip $17

After grabbing a quick snack this morning we headed off just as they cleared the ship. Our plan was to taxi over directly to Horseshoe Bay as the weather looked to be spectacular-

 

Our port-mate Celebrity Summit has a blocky butt

 

 

Breakaway's is way more round and smooth? Maybe the age difference as Summit is much older ;) (sometimes I crack myself up, if no one else)

 

 

Notice the cost to Horse Shoe Bay, obviously I did not in my first response to the cost to get there doh!

 

 

Loaded up we headed out, right at the end of the Dockyard you can see the America Cup Village coming together. Our taxi driver indicated they have been told to expect 14,000 visitors along with the cruise ships porting. He was not enthusiastic at the thought of so many people arriving.

 

 

It is such a nice scenic drive through Bermuda

 

 

Cont..
