1st port - Bermuda was a blast. Ferried to St. Georges from Royal Dockyards. We walked St. Georges, then spent the day on Tobacco Bay Beach. Mid May water was a little chilly when you got to the ocean, so glad we had wet suits. Also hit a "Glass Beach" about a mile from our berth near the Royal Naval Cemetary, very cool. 



Hamilton

Took the free trolley to El Morro, nice drive & it took us all the way to the gates. Very pretty scenery & simple trip. Started raining at 3PM, so we retreated to Chicago Burger near the cruise terminal & watched the Flyers game on NBC. Pretty slim sports offerings on ship TV channels. 


San Juan

3rd port - St. Thomas. Planned on doing the cable car ride, but after our taxi to Coki Beach - we were vista'd out. Tremendous views of Megan's Bay from the hilly terrain. Coki was the top snorkel of our trip! Scads of sea life. Not really wowed by the shopping in town, got some rum, tobacco & t-shirts. 


St. Thomas

It's a postage stamp of an island. Had planned to fish there, but the Department of Resources was on a long lunch. Bailed on fishing & went to Pillory Beach. You really need to swim out a ways to see much sea-life, and not near the diversity of Coki. Kathy Williams of "Kathy & Jack" taxi was our ride. From Pillory, she got us to Barbie's restaurant for conch fritters, cracked conch & refreshments. She picked us up about 45 minutes from drop off, gave an informal tour of the Salinas (pelicans, flamingos & other neat birds). The random roaming horses, donkeys & cows were a crack-up. Margarittaville's beach probabaly had better snorkeling than Pillory in hind sight, but we were more interested in libations at Jack's Shack & the M-Ville swim up bar. 


Grand Turk

Slept well in a nice Oceanview. Mid-ship location seemed to be better when we did have some rough seas.

Captain & crew did a pretty good job at weather avoidance on our homebound passage.Exceptions were frogs legs (kind of boring sauce) & a pretty tough NY Strip Steak that was also over-cooked.
