Planning my first cruise for the first week in November. 7 day NCL NY to Bermuda on the Breakaway. Anyone been on this cruise before? How was your experience? I’ll be at Universal Orlando the week prior, so I’ll be just looking to relax on the cruise and in Bermuda. Horseshoe Bay beach looks like where I’ll want to be for the entire time the ship is in port, as long as it’s warm enough. I’m not a drinker but an endless supply of rum swizzles seems like a fun time on the ship and off.
I live in Bermuda.
Horseshoe Beach is awesome, but it is 50/50 that you will have good beach weather in November.
Other options:
Rent a side-by-side electric car and tour the island.
Round of golf at Port Royal--public course, hosts a PGA tourney.
Bermuda aquarium.
Waverunner tour of the Great Sound and shoreline, including a cool wreck. Or you can rent a pontoon boat. The water is always warm even if not beach weather.
Maritime museum right at the dock yard.
There is a semi-private poker club, if that's your thing. I can get you a game there.
I get lots of visitors through the year and we do all this stuff.
Edit: some good restaurants in Hamilton--
Ruby Murry's for curries.
Pearl for sushi.
Little Venice for Italian.
Bolero for upscale/modern/eclectic
Port o' Call or Harbourfront for fresh local seafood.
