Creator's Key Takeaways
I figured out the ferry system that most cruisers miss, and I'm going to save you both time and money by sharing it with you.
I don't think it is pink, you guys. I looked in the gift shops and even the sand that's bottled as pink Bermuda sand. It didn't look very pink to me.
Overnight calls, they're great. They're rare. I've only had a few of them in my own cruising history, which is pretty expensive. And they're always a gamecher. They're amazing.
I highly recommend using a private driver/our guide. Now I would not hire a private driver just to get around. Again, that's a waste of money. Use the fairies, use the fairies.
