North America » Bermuda » Saint George October 2nd 2008

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 them. Our trip back to Bermuda wasn’t too bad this week. We thought we were in for some pretty rough seas and storms, with Hurricaine Kyle passing through. We did take a detour, which delayed ... read more

Day 90- Saturday Our trip to Boulder has been booked as long as our overall package...for the purpose of visiting Connie's number three sister...Colleen, mother of Kat, whose company we enjoyed in Chicago and then Boston. Connie merely said that it was a university town near Denver , perhaps similar to Armidale. All I could imagine was a single rock, presumably in the middle of no-where, like a desert. How wrong could we be! After flying across the praries, with only occasional signs of activity we reached the airport. In the distance ahead, we could see the Rocky Mountains. Collen collected us from a state of the art airport, definitely the best so far and transported us 25 miles, about 40 minutes along a freeway, bypassing Denver itself. Connie's prediction was correct...a charming town. A population ... read more

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 teens come out to programs, although sometimes only getting 1 or 2 of them. Unfortunately, I’ve had to cancel a lot of the programs, as they required big numbers and we just don’t have them… ... read more

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 off, we wandered a bit further to St. Catherine’s beach. It was WAY less busy, but not as pretty. It wasn’t shielded by rocks so it was also a little dirtier (seaweed) and had waves. ... read more

We settled in for the six day ocean crossing. Since it was also the last ten days of the world cruise, it meant busy days and nights on the Voyager. Even though the world cruise was ending on April 30 in Ft Lauderdale we were going to do another lap. We decided last summer that we would prefer to cruise home rather than fly home and Cruise Specialists was kind enough to assign us to a coast to coast cruise. On the same day of our arrival in the US, we would transfer over to the Regent Mariner for a sixteen day cruise through the Panama Canal back to San Francisco. Since we had four different destinations for our belongings, it all had to be separated accordingly. We were leaving four bags in Florida, we were ... read more

After 5 fun filled days crossing the Atlantic, there was a buzz around the ship that we would be arriving in Bermuda a full day early. The Captain confirmed this and announced that we would be docked next to our sister ship the Mariner. Everyone was excited about the extra time and especially about the prospect of visiting the Mariner. We had spent 54 days on her in ‘01-‘02 on her inaugural circumnavigation of South America. It was not only our 1st long cruise but also our recuperation from Chuck’s triple bypass 12 weeks before on 9/21/01. So we had many fond memories! As we cruised into the main town of Hamilton; the turquoise water, the pink sand beaches and the multi colored pastel homes with manicured gardens were as impressive as we remembered. There’s a ... read more

North America » Bermuda September 29th 2007

Ahhh finally...BEACHES!! Its been a year since I've seen a real beach (petty lakeside beaches don't count). So after an eerie flight through the mysterious triangle and some storm clouds to make it extra exciting, me and Leonie make it to Bermuda. Well what a change in temperature, what a hot walk along the runway and what an awesome welcome! We had two guys playing the electric guitar and steel drums singing for us as we entered the airport terminal. Never felt more like a celebrity. So as usual I stay at the worst hotels ever (5 star *cough cough*) the Fairmont Southampton and the Hamilton. A free ferry between hotels means you enjoy the luxury of both places. Enough about that. The people here in Bermuda were much kinder than the roads they drive ... read more
