I promised some shots of Bermuda taken during my visit there last week, so here you go. The
MAJESTY departs Boston and docks in
St. George, Bermuda, where it stays for 3.5 days every week this summer. In order to get into the port, the ship has to pass through an incredibly narrow opening in the bay...it felt like there was only about 10' on either side of the ship between the rocks and us as we sailed through. St. George is the smaller of the two main towns on the island. Hamilton is the other. St. George it incredibly quaint, with 20-30 small shops and restaurants that cater primarliy to cruise ship passengers. The port looks like it will only hold two ships at once. We were there with the
Norwegian CROWN on one day, and RCCL's
EXPLORER OF THE SEAS on another. Bermuda is one of the best islands to visit because of its friendly people and safe, beautiful environment. It also has some of the top-rated beaches in the world. I didn't get to try those, but maybe next time!
This is the
MAJESTY docked in St. George. The
NCL CROWN was docked behind us.
Each Tuesday during the summer, St. George has a Summer Festival night with local music and entertainment. The guests from our ship really enjoyed the taste of local culture!
Life moves at a slightly slower pace on the island. This carriage takes guests from the ship on a leisurely tour around St. George. Its a great way to hear about the island from one of it's own resident tour guides.
Here is the cut that all ships must pass through to make it into St. George. It is even more narrow than it appears in the photo. Only smaller ships can make it through the pass - its a lot like threading a needle!
Dale Rutherford, Kelly Hirt Evans (Kelly just got married to Steve Evans) and I went on a couple of long walks around the coast near the ship. They are both major health freaks and went on long walks a couple of times a day between rehearsals- I went along for moral support! All of the beaches have rock outcroppings like these. Very striking!
Here is a small beach in an alcove near the ship. The locals come here to sunbathe and snorkle.
