3 Days in Bermuda: The Best Excursions & We Did it Ourselves
If you're sailing to Bermuda but don't know what to do, then this is the video for you. We experience three great days exploring beaches, historic towns and forts on this beautiful island. If you've never been to Bermuda before or even if you have experienced this wonderful island, we bet you will learn something you did not know before.
We board a one-week cruise with our friends Amber and Shawn and we sail from Manhattan, New York to Bermuda aboard the Norwegian Joy. We leave the ship with very little idea of what we are going to do each day. We still manage to have three extraordinary days seeing some of the best sites on Bermuda.
Our first day is spent lounging on the sand in Tobacco Ba...

    Hi everyone, may I ask why Amber & Shawn have only been ashore once in Bermuda out of 6x? Was it by choice, cruise length or weather problems? We are going on a 7 day NCL cruise in the end of October for our 30th wedding anniversary & are starting to book some things already so I was just very curious. Thanks for the wonderful video by the way🩵

    Hi. Nice tour. We have been in Bermuda twice (With NCL) and want to go again. On your video at 46:31-46:38 you can see the 3-mast tall ship. That "The Spirit of Bermuda". It's a replica of the very famous schooner. Visit it next time.

    • @HalfFastCruisers
      @HalfFastCruisers 2 месяца назад

      Yes, it is pretty dark, and very damp. Also, they frown on photos and video because they need to keep the tour moving, and don't want people stopping every few feet to get the perfect pics. If you are going to try to take photos or video please do not use lights or flash as a courtesy to others on the tour. We suggest you concentrate on the absolute beauty and majesty of an incredible and unique place on Earth. We hope you enjoy your trip.
