Saint George Travel Blogs

Background: Bermuda was first settled in 1609 by shipwrecked English colonists headed for Virginia. Tourism to the island to escape North American winters first developed in Victorian times. Tourism continues to be important to the island's economy, although international business has overtaken it in recent years. Bermuda has developed into a highly successful offshore financial center. A referendum on independence was soundly defeated in 1995.

This week started with a knock on the door at 9am the morning of disembarkation/embarkation day. We were told that we would have to move cabins. We were still being put in pax cabins, but we had to move across hallways, and to the opposite end of the ship. The rooms are very similar but we joke that we’re now in the ghetto, as there’s tape covering holes, loud rumbling noises, and dirty pillows. We also miss our old room stewards, as those guys took great care of us and become our friends. We learned just how spoiled we were by [View Full Entry]

Hanging Out
MONKEY!
The Cut

This week I was assigned to the teens program. With only 7 teens on the manifest, I was worried about the whole program being cancelled, so I actively sought out those teens. I went up to the “Sail Away” party out on the pool deck, as we left Philadelphia, and met two teens that I gave info to. Another joined us on her own accord the first night, and then with the help of me making fliers to drop off at the rooms of all the teens on my list, I managed to scrounge up another. All week I’ve had 4 [View Full Entry]

This is the view of St. George from the ship
Bermuda has been a very enjoyable visit. We arrived Monday and leave today. We’ve been able to get off the ship a few times. Our first day in port, Nicole, Steph, and I walked through the town of St. George’s to Tobacco Bay Park, where there was a small but decent beach and beautiful clear water within beautiful jagged rocks. We swam and tanned and enjoyed the Bermuda sun. The second time off, Linda (supervisor), Kate, Nicole, Steph, and I went out for pizza at a restaurant right next to where the ship docks, called Whitehorse. GOOD pizza! The third time [View Full Entry]

Robby loved throwing pennies in the fountain.
We went sight seeing over the past couple of days and saw some pretty neat things. The houses and other buildings are all different pastel colors. I noticed that all the roofs are white. I later found out that Bermuda has a big problem with fresh water. If you don't collect your own off your roof you don't have water for your homes. Most Bermudians bathe once a week to conserve the water in private underground tanks. This is the reason for the white roofs. After walking what seemed like miles we finally came to Kings Warf. Lots of fun little [View Full Entry]

Bermuda is as beautiful as all the pictures I've seen! The water is just so incredible. This crystal jewel blue is the only way I can explain it. Breathtaking really. We have 7 amazing days to spend here and I am not going to waste any time. We went to Tabacco Bay beach the second we got here. It was quite a hike but we did it. I would say it was a two mile hike up, down, and around curving streets and pathways. I had both the kids in the stroller and Grammy Peg pushed Robby and I pushed Meg. [View Full Entry]
