Nice video. As a Bermudian, when referring to us, calling us Bermudians as opposed to "locals" warms our hearts;) Glad you enjoyed your stay.

[@jenniferbrown2402]

Good point. I cringed every time she said "the locals," and she said it a lot.

[@Buddy869-z9x]

Good to know! I used to live in a beach community, and being known as a “local” was a badge of honor. Since you mention it, tho, I can see how it might be different when “locals” actually have their own nationality and culture.

[@NapoleonDynamyte]

So now locals is a bad word? Come on.

[@ellencoelho16]

There is so much to see on “ our island Paradise”! Bermuda is another world! Proud to be Bermudian!

[@757IsMyHomebase]

How is Bermuda in December? Are stores, restaurants, night festivals open during that time?

[@ellencoelho16]

@@757IsMyHomebase yes all stores are open in December and if you come close to Christmas both Hamilton ( the capital) and St George’s are all decorated and lit up. Plus, the second Friday in December there is a walk about in St George’s where the stores are all open at night plus all the heritage sites are open as well. St George’s is World Heritage Site, There is also dockyard, at the other end of the island with a heritage museum, stores and plenty of great restaurants! Bermuda is not only a beautiful place, but the Bermudian people are very friendly and helpful to our overseas guests! You’ll come once and want to come back again!

Frog and Onion for lunch and beer flights. Loved the aquarium. My 11 year old (this was 15 years ago) loved swimming below St Catherine's Fort because he could swim right next to cannons that had fallen to the rocks below. The rum swizzles were good, but the Dark and Stormy was my absolute favorite!!! I still make them at home weekly.

[@LifeWellCruised]

That’s amazing!! Thanks for sharing. Now you’re making me want to make a Rum Swizzle at home 😂

We just booked a Bermuda Cruise for July. It’s an overnight stay and we cannot wait! Great VLOG as always and we appreciate the information!

[@ronnieviera2294]

I am Bermudian and believe these are some good tips. I would add the Bermuda Aquarium as a stop on the way to Crystal caves.

[@LifeWellCruised]

Thanks so much! I haven’t had the chance to get there yet, so I’ll have to try to go next time :)

[@evankirk333]

[@k8zhd]

My wife and I have been to Bermuda many times, beginning with our 1996 honeymoon (before we started cruising), and it is always a delight. We've toured the island on the public buses and on scooters and on local private tours. It's ALL great! The Dockyards alone could easily occupy a day. Bermuda Fun Golf, on the cliff overlooking Snorkel Beach is a hoot - a minigolf course where each hole is modeled on a particular hole in a particular famous golf course in the world! Accurately scaled down shape, sand traps, etc. You're right on about the Pharmacy too - it's WAY more than a drug store! And in Hamilton and St George, visit the little parks only a couple blocks from the center of each town. They are oases of quiet calm and wonderful trees and flowers. And our favorite find in Hamilton is the Hog Penny Pub, a little dark local place on a steep street, like a British pub in miniature but with better food. Our last cruise together to Bermuda was last fall on Norwegian, where the compact little island was a wonderful tonic compared to the very noisy huge ship. Alas, my wife died this spring, but the memories of Bermuda will live with me fondly forever.

[@torrydooley]

Heading there in April and appreciate the must sees while we are there!

[@robertamott7154]

Hartley’s Underwater Walk - AMAZING!

[@jimbloom7568]

I think this is one of the best cruise destinations. First of all it's safe and the people are very friendly. We had the fish sandwich at a pub called The Anchor about one mile from the cruise port. It was delicious. We had another one the next day. We bought it at the restaurant just as you walk off the pier. It was equally good and the same price as the one on the edge of the city. The Frog and Onion restaurant in the museum building is a must do venue for lunch or dinner. Agreed! Rising Sun provides excellent excursions, and the are extremely courteous. Thanks for the additional tips you gave in this video. Great job on this one.

[@theneverendinghighway]

One thing I think I might add, and if you really like walking. It's to walk along the Rail Trail that goes around a lot of the island. You can get some pretty epic views in different spots and it's free. But, it could be a lot of walking so you could combine it with public transportation or the shuttle boat and walk different sections around the island

[@stardroplet9499]

Great 👍

[@sandraschwan4651]

10 years ago I went and did all of these things except the dolphins and the catamaran. I think I did pretty well considering I was traveling alone with my 3-year-old son. We had a blast!

[@JonathanDyer651005]

If you’re out towards the East end of the island, the Aquarium in Flatts Village and the whole area of Flatts Inlet are favorites of mine as a former “local”. If you’re there during a tide change you can often watch Spotted Eagle Rays feeding in the heavy current flowing under the bridge as Harrington Sound (enclosed body of water) fills or drains under the bridge. One of my favorite places on the island.

[@suzannewhite9777]

I'm not a fish sandwich person, but I tried fish and chips at Bonefish at the dock yard and it was banging! I'm going back to Bermuda next year for it again...along with buying more Jon Faulkner Pottery. 😊

[@vincentsantoiemma5501]

Outstanding video. Bermuda is my absolute favorite cruise destination. I also love the zoo, aquarium and the many shops in Hamilton and St George.

[@keithanddianevanhorn241]

The first cruise I took was to Bermuda. The ships were still docking in Hamilton and St. George. This was in 1977. This past August I went on the Liberty of the Seas. The first time at the Royal Dockyard. It was only a short ferry ride to both Hamilton and St.George. It was good to be back in Bermuda again. It is still my favorite place to visit

[@karenmccullers130]

This is great. I've made notes on my phone of where to stop and how to get there, as well as the fish sandwich and perfume! We will only be there a day but this helps to be mentally organized and not waste time trying to figure it out.

[@RonConley-m3i]

We cruised to Bermuda this past April on the Gem. To say we fell in love with Bermuda would be an understatement. We are already booked on the Breakaway for April '26. I wish we could go in '25, but 2 daughters getting married in '25 kind of takes priority, lol. Cannot wait to be there again. Beautiful island and great people

[@ecas13]

An absolute must get is Bermuda Fish Chowder at the Frog and Onion Pub! 🤤

[@LifeWellCruised]

Great to know!

[@johnfitzgerald6746]

Just came back from our Bermuda cruise on the Summit. A note on Horseshoe Bay Beach. It’s beautiful and well worth visiting, but there is not a spot of shade anywhere on that beach. They rent lounge chairs and umbrellas, but when we arrived at 11am on the 10:30 Summit excursion bus, they had run out of umbrellas. Next time we’ll take the shuttle bus and leave earlier so we can be more comfortable in the hot Bermuda sun.

[@LifeWellCruised]

So true! Thanks for mentioning. Honestly better to go early and on your own :)

[@sandyhartley8328]

Great list, but you missed Hartleys Helmet Diving! It's an easy, interactive and magical way to experience the underwater wildlife! It actually originated in Bermuda, starting with my grandfather Bronson Hartley. My dad still does it today! I'm taking a trip home this week and figured I'd check out videos of things to do there! Thanks for supporting the island!

[@vatriciar2175]

I can’t wait to go back to Bermuda in May 2025! I have been once, we loved Horseshoe Bay. We also went to the Swizzle Inn for rum swizzles, so yummy! We then did a Hartley helmet dive excursion. Absolutely amazing! We loved it. You give a lot more advice on so many things. Thank you!

[@shaytomboy257]

We are heading to Bermuda in 2 weeks on Norwegian. We had such a hard time seeing what we wanted to book for excursions. Now we know to just go there and book there!! We love the list and can't wait to do it all!!!

[@philip6431]

Great video. We were in Bermuda in 2014 and going again in Aug 2024. Looking forward to doing the caves. Thanks for the info!!

[@enigmasky3264]

Local here. Was absolutely lovely to watch this as it was a really great vid for tourists coming down here. Bailey's Ice Cream is actually across the road from Swizzle Inn, and I should note that they are not at all affiliated. I love their ice cream, but for me for summer memories, the sherbet is pure heaven. Yes, rum Swizzle is definitely popular locally but if you're not into fruity drinks, try out a Dark 'n' Stormy. I'm absolute biased about the "Hall of History" painting at the museum, I love Graham Foster's work. He's not only a painter but also does sculpture work. If you're a John Lennon fan you might be interested in the Double Fantasy sculpture he did that sits outside the Masterworks Museum of Bermuda Art which is at the Botanical Gardens outside Hamilton. Sadly, the gardens aren't at all what they used to be. (Edited to correct the Beatles to John Lennon. Had a brain fizzle)

[@LifeWellCruised]

Thanks so much for watching and taking time to comment and share more things we should know, as cruise travellers, when we visit 👌

[@javdestiny]

We have been to Bermuda several times. One thing I would recommend is Fort Hamilton in Hamilton. Not only is the fort interesting but I absolutely love the moat garden. It was such a pleasant surprise. The artists shops at the Naval Dockyard are fantastic, especially the pottery. And do the rum cake tasting even if you don't want to buy.

[@roxmattern60]

When we cruised to Bermuda we hired a taxi at the dock and the driver took us all over the island. One of the places he took us was to the top of a cliff that had a little white church. You could see forever up there. The church had three pews on both sides of the church. Six small benches is what they were. Took us to this flower garden that was beautiful. He should us where some of the stars had houses too. The other thing we did was helmet dive

[@LifeWellCruised]

That sounds amazing. I love a private tour to really see a place. Glad to hear about yours :)

I took a 5 hour tour through the cruise line and part of it was a little bit of time in St. George. The tour guide told us to take our passports into this little office near the ferry dock and they would stamp it. I didn't have mine with me but my daughter had hers and now she's stamped!

There are great Bermuda Triangle midnight cruises and yes they include the rum swizzle. Also ship wreck dives were amazing as well as glass bottom boat tours. There is just so much to do there and having the ship docked for 2 - 3 nights is just an amazing experience.

Crystal Caves are amazing. Swimming with the Dolphins in the Royal Dockyard fort was a lifetime experiance. Loved it There is a beach out closer to Elbow Beach that is beautiful without the crowds of Horseshoe beach. I wish I could remember the name . It is in a public park. Any taxi driver will know what the name is. Been to Bermuda 4 times always deserted. If you go to St George pay for the high speed ferry , the NCL free ferry is very slow if your on an NCL trip. The National Museam is very cool. Well worth the tour. Any of those Catermeran sailing /snorkle 1/2 trips are fabulous. They pick you up right at the dock. Thank you for the video.

Thank you for your tips on Bermuda. We’re going on October and you saved us a lot of money by explaining how many of the fun things to do are just a taxi, bus or ferry ride away. If we only had a day with an “all aboard” in just a few hours, I would book the cruise tour. Now I know we can easily get there on our own, immersing ourselves in the culture in the process. Some of our best vacation memories are of people we met along the way. I printed your informative guide and placed it in my trip folder. We can’t wait to see Crystal Caves, have a rum swizzle and a fish sandwich!!

Hello! I just took my first cruise and all your videos are super helpful.

We agree must buys are a cabin nightlight, a power strip, magnets, reusable waterbottle, and anti- nausea medication. Thanks for your informative videos. It made our cruise wonderful!

I was assigned to Bermuda between August 2002 - December 2007 which allowed me to become quite familiar with the islamd.

I'm not sure of the days it is served now, but every time I had a Sunday off, I would head to Mulligan's (now closed and bulldozed for a new hotel) in St George's for a cod fish and potato breakfast. Sounded strange at first, but I came to love it.

Was there in June 2017 and 2018 on Norwegian. Going again in June 2023, this is a make up cruise from 2020😢. We did Dolphin Quest both times on the first day, that way you can reschedule if weather is not good 1st day. When you go to Dolphin Quest, the Museum is included that day in the price. We do the snorkel park beach on the last day. I'm too paranoid to miss the boat and it it so close to the ship. First trip we did both caves, not for claustrophobic people but just gorgeous. Had good ice cream at Bailey's. I enjoy both the rum swizzle and dark and stormy Bermudian drinks. I haf the fish sandwich at the Bonefish in the dockyard, was good, I had it on toasted wheat, I dont like raisins, and I put french fries on mine. I'm from Pittsburgh PA so that's what we do LOL (Primanti's). Went to Horseshoe bay and Clear water beach. I always wanted to try a Catarmaran.

Great information. It looked like a lot of fun. I loved the Dolphins.

Thanks Dianne! Those dolphins are amazing

[@amandagoodman1272]

@@LifeWellCruisedVery informative video, super well presented, but I have to mention dolphins should not be in captivity.

Crystal Caves is awesome! It's 88 steps down. Also, Mark Twain was the first visitor to those caves, so you're literally retracing his steps!

Thank you so much for watching and for your lovely comments

Everything from our list exactly! Crystal caves are unforgettable! Gorgeous beaches and red phone cabins!!! Also Bermuda is a safest place. We’re really surprised that our Norwegian cruise line offered us ferry service for free. All our cruise experience is in the pre-coronavirus time before vaccination protocol and now we can only go back to our memories with you. Thank you Ilana for sharing your advice.

Thanks for sharing! Bermuda is still quite similar to pre-Covid times so ready to enjoy when you can. It did surprise me that the glassworks and rum cake store are closed

@@LifeWellCruised unfortunately protocol requires a vaccine… 🙄

I am traveling to Bermuda, can someone help me find a job?

Hello Ilana, another great video of my favorite cruise destination. We always check out Swizzle Inn. Swizzle Inn, Swagger Out. Please try the fried fish sandwich with a rum swizzle. Theirs is on a grilled cheese. Huge and amazing. Word of caution on the Rum Swizzle. Split the 32oz shaker cup. Very smooth going down but it will hit you by the time you finish lunch or dinner. I also loved Crystal Caves and many of the other locations you mentioned.

Best traditional BDA fish sandwich is at Seaside Grill. There are usually options on which fish and get the local rockfish (grouper) if available. Also, option to have fish grilled instead of deep fried. Enjoy!

I had the fish sandwich at Woody's in 2017, Very Good! But I hate raisins but they put it on toasted regular bread for me. Going again in 2023 on NCL and looking forward to it again. Also Bermuda pharmacies you can get some US script meds without a prescription. We were able to get my dad some Lasix as he needed more and didn't pack LOL.
