Cbb Posted May 7, 2022 Report Share Posted May 7, 2022 We are going to Bermuda in July. How does the debarkation work when arriving at dockyard port. Can you get off as soon as you walk up or is there a formal dismissal process? Trying to figure out how early we can get off to book a boat rental. I see excursions do not start until 9:30 A.

shof515 Posted May 7, 2022 Report Share Posted May 7, 2022 you can get get off once the ship is cleared by the officials. expect long waits and longer time to get off due to crowds once they make that all clear announcement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Done Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 People get in line to get off at least a half hour before the all clear is given. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy the boat rental. We usually rent a 13’ Boston Whaler…or, if there’s a lot of us…a 23’ pontoon boat. Fantastic time motoring around the Great Sound. They provide a map with photos showing how far you can go, which is virtually all of the sound. Including little tiny islands where you can anchor and just hang out on your own private beach. There’s a few water sports companies you can use, including one just as you get off the pier. Enjoy! Cbb and FoxboroCruiser 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cbb Posted May 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 BrianB - In your opinion would a 10:30 boat rental be ambitious? First RC Excursion is 9:30. Glad to meet someone who has done the boat rental. I like the idea that we are not tied to time or a tour guide and can go wherever/do whatever. Traveling with 2 teen boys. I think they will love it!

BrianB Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 @Cbb That time is fine. You can go online and check out the available rentals, prices and companies. Then you can call and make a reservation. You can also research reviews and check out the experiences of others. The thing I like best about Bermuda is that it is a safe, clean and very visitor-friendly island (actually group of islands) with honestly nice and welcoming people. Of course I take nothing for granted and am always as careful as possible everywhere I go…but I feel the most comfortable in Bermuda. We have explored much of the beautiful islands on our own, especially on cruises that dock over two nights. Bermuda is our favorite destination! Enjoy your cruise and the Bermudian experience!
