Creator's Key Takeaways

We've been to a lot of ports. I think this is the easiest one.

It's been several years since we've been on it. Excited to be back on it.

We've never been to Bermuda, and we're actually going to be there 2 days, and we're going to be there overnight, so that'll be fun, someplace new.

This is probably the best sail away. It's a good one. You get such great views along the way.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the QR code for parking payment; no app download needed.
If you use a passport, ensure it's valid for at least 6 months after your cruise ends.
If sailing with a birth certificate, it must be an official copy with a raised seal and a matching government photo ID if you're 16 or older.
