Thanks for subscribing. Shawn & Amber had terrible luck with weather, and this was why they really didn't get to see everything on their previous trips. However, despite this they still greatly enjoyed the cruises themselves.

It sounds like you have the perfect itinerary planned out. You are absolutely right that it is a very easy place to visit even if you're not sure what you want to do. Thanks for posting.

The cruise lines do not want to associate themselves with these vendors or be seen as encouraging their customers to rent scooters ashore for liability reasons. While we are mostly comfortable driving abroad, many cruisers may not be comfortable with local traffic laws and regulations and may be more prone to accidents.

Bermuda is a British island. They drive on the other side of the road , so your driving instincts are off. Many scooter accidents, so the cruise ship doesn’t recommend you rent one.

Thank you too! We are so glad you enjoyed it.

Sorry to reply to you so late. We didn't really go all the way down south. We will say that Sorrento is pretty centrally located with a lot to do around you like Ercolano, Pompeii, Capri, and the Amalfi Coast. We truly enjoyed Gaeta, although much of that was due to the holiday decorations. Taormina in Sicily is definitely on our list for a return trip. Hope this helps.

@@HalfFastCruisers Thank you ))

We're so glad you enjoyed it. We'll be releasing some new cruise videos soon. Thanks for subscribing.

@@HalfFastCruisers we just put out my hubby's first video edit on "Who did it best?" Virgin, Royal and Carnival Sail Away. Will be looking out for your new Cruise videos soon. Continued Success

You are most welcome. We had a great time there, and we're sure you will too. Have fun!

The pleasure was all ours. You have a beautiful home. Thanks for providing all these locations for our next visit. We are looking forward to a return to the island. Very interesting about Coopers Island.

Yes, we had a feeling they were just trying to scare us into not missing the ferry back. Thanks for providing this information.

This warning is not limited to Bermuda. The cruise companies generally give that disclaimer everywhere they stop. They have safety concerns for a number of reasons, and I'm sure they have liability concerns as well. We will say that driving a scooter in an unfamiliar place with questionable traffic laws and customs can be very challenging. Please be careful.

We're not sure if there is a customary amount. We've seen some give $5, $10 or even $20, and then others giving nothing. Our decision is usually dependent upon the level of service we receive. Hope this helps.

We really didn't get a chance to sample much of the local cuisine.

Yes, one of the other commenters said they did it for around $100 for four people and that included a tour. They were probably just trying to scare us into not missing the ferry. Thanks for the post.

Thanks for the compliment. We are currently using a GoPro Hero 11 along with our iPhone 15 Max's. We also have our old GoPro Hero 7 that we use for a dash cam and underwater filming. We hope you have fun in Bermuda.

Glad you enjoyed it. We had much more fun making it, I assure you. Thanks for the vote of confidence.

Ouch!!! I hope they at least let you get some good scenic photos along the way.

@@HalfFastCruisers it was a 2 hour tour on the way back. We spit it 4 ways and got some fantastic photos. I was just letting you know it was $100 return by taxi. Not $250. But it was well worth it.

Well that makes it more of a bargain than anything else. Especially, if you consider the cost of ship excursions. Thanks for correcting the taxi fare, I'm sure our viewers appreciate it.

And that was the tour vost​@@bigdeal99.92

We went the first week in May. The seas were calm, but we had a couple of rainy days when we were there.

We stayed at the Hotel Villa Durrueli Resort & Spa Ischia. It was central to the old town and the port. We walked to the castle area numerous times while we were there.

So cool! Thanks for sharing that information. We were there in May, and we had a fantastic time. We hope to return someday soon.

The vans were lined up when we got off the ship, and they operated like taxis. No prior reservation required. Just keep in mind that you might have to wait for them to fill before they leave. Have fun on your trip.

@@HalfFastCruisers how much were they per person, do you recall

We don't remember the exact cost. Each trip was less than $10 per person. (Possibly $5 each in St. George and $7 each to Horseshoe Bay)

@@HalfFastCruisers that's pretty reasonable. Thank you

You are very welcome. We have a great time making these, and it's nice when the information is useful to our viewers. Thanks for the post.

Congratulations on your first cruise. We hope you have a great time. The "behind-the-scenes" tours have gotten pretty expensive, but once you get to a certain loyalty level they are free of charge. We're happy to show these when we can. Have fun!

@@nicolewiltsey7793 what a coincidence,we are visiting with them right now. They missed several opportunities to go ashore due to weather. They also had to deal with a last minute excursion cancellation without notice on Royal Caribbean which they are still unhappy about. We think these issues are the exception and not the rule so plan away and hope for the best. We hope you enjoy your cruise, wish you an early Happy Anniversary.

@@HalfFastCruisers First off, thanks so much for getting back to me🙂. Second, I truly love that you guys became friends & that you’re w them right now☺️. Third, we only cruise Norwegian (family favorite) which unfortunately my hubby got seasick back in 2016 to the Caribbean & vowed never to cruise again🫤. Brought my son (graduation present) in 2018 to Bermuda & it was just soooo beautiful and felt soooo SAFE that I knew I had to go back w hubby. He only agreed to cruise cuz it was 3 overnights in Bermuda & so much cheaper than a flight w hotel and OF COURSE - our 30th anniversary😃. Thanks for letting me know it was due to weather, hopefully it wasn’t around the end of October when our cruise is😉, hehehe. Also, thanks for the well wishes & please keep up the wonderful videos honey, love them!! 😍💛🥰

We are happy to help with this, and we hope you have a memorable and awesome cruise experience. Happy Sailing!

We consider ourselves very lucky indeed. The coordination is a little easier since Dan retired. We have more options now. Thanks for your comment.

Thanks for your support. We hope you have as good a time in Bermuda as we did. Happy Cruising!

Thanks for the info. We love exploring these old ships, but didn't know they gave tours of that one. It is on the list for our next trip. Happy travels.

Wow, what a small world. But it sounds like you are following us. What a great cruise.

Yes, we have heard that from many people. It is on our list for our next visit. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks, we will put it on the list for our next visit. We hope you enjoy your trip. We are very jealous, and ready to return. Some day...

Yes it was! It was the Villa Durrueli Resort & Spa. Pretty reasonably priced with a great complimentary breakfast. Walking distance to the area around the castle. Need to drive to the Porto though.

It was nice to meet you folks as well. It was a short cruise, but we packed a ton of enjoyment into those few days didn't we? We hope to go back when the water is a tad warmer. I guess it's our Floridian blood. Happy Sailing!

We are glad you enjoyed it. Luckily we escaped without any damage although it was very close. Thanks for your post.

We're so happy you enjoyed the video. We had fun making it. Thanks for the vote of confidence.

Thanks. We loved making it.

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.

@@HalfFastCruisers thanks for your teply🙏

So many churches but do not see many people!

Where are the people?

Beautiful light displays!

They heard how Dan drives and our cowering in fear in their homes. Ha Ha!

Yes, it was a once in a lifetime experience.

They are! The whole place is simply stunning.

Thanks. We hope you enjoy the videos. Thanks for the support. Happy Travels.

We hope you make it!! It's a beautiful city.

Thank you! Cheers!

It really is! We hope to see more of it in the future.

You bet we are. Thanks!

Yes, we are definitely looking forward to a return to Northern Spain. Such a beautiful place. Thanks for your comment and support.
