Creator's Key Takeaways

Bermuda has been on my bucket list place of destinations for years.

It is gorgeous here. So follow along.

The roads are very windy, windy, windy. So, if you're motion sick, don't sit in the back of the bus.

It's not a cheap island, but man, is it ever gorgeous.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Plan at least half an hour from leaving the ship to catching the ferry.
If you're motion sick, don't sit in the back of the bus due to windy roads.
Use the free Wi-Fi at the ferry terminal to check bus schedules.
Rent chairs and umbrella at Horseshoe Bay Beach is expensive; consider staying off to the side with rocks for shade.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Finding the ferry and bus locationsUse the info booth at the ferry terminal for tickets and transport information; bus station is next to city hall in Hamilton.
Motion sickness on windy bus roadsSit near the front of the bus if prone to motion sickness.

YouTube Video Description

Jill's bucket list destination finally arrived - Bermuda! We're showing you exactly how to explore this stunning island on a cruise port day, from the $9 ferry ride to Hamilton to the winding bus journey to Horseshoe Bay Beach. Spoiler alert: the famous pink sand isn't as pink as we expected, but that turquoise water absolutely delivered! We tried every mode of transportation Bermuda offers - ferry, city bus, and shuttle - while discovering why everything costs double what you'd expect. From exploring Hamilton's colourful streets to floating in the Atlantic Ocean, we're giving you the honest guide to spending a perfect day in Bermuda. Plus we discovered the friendliest people we've encountered anywhere (except maybe East Coast Canada), and Jill declares this one of the cleanest, most beautiful islands she's ever visited. ▬ Contents of this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 0:00 Bucket List Bermuda Morning! 2:10 Ferry to Hamilton ($9 Each Way) 6:43 Exploring Hamilton City 11:19 Bus Adventure to Horseshoe Bay 12:51 First Beach Glimpse & Pink Sand Hunt 14:40 Swimming in Bermuda Waters 16:15 Return Journey & Ship Pool Time 19:09 Evening Prep & Dinner 24:14 Entertainment Venue Hopping 28:48 Late Night Buffet & Wrap-up Hi, we are Jill and Jerry, and we invite you to subscribe to our channel.
