Bermuda on Sunday

[cruisetarp]

We will be in Bermuda from 8AM - 5PM on Sunday August 19th. Anyone have any idea of what will be open and what won't be. We have been to Bermuda many times before but never on the weekend.

We were in Bermuda on a Sunday last year, and the people who went into Hamilton said the town is pretty well closed. You will find some stores open, but not too many. The stores at the Roal Dock Yard will be open. We went snorkelling, then hit the stores before the ship left.

Thanks Howard. I had a feeling that the shops in Hamilton would be closed but am glad to hear the shops at the Dockyard would be open. My old Bermuda sweatshirt is in bad shape and needs to be replaced. LOL

If you're familiar with the "critical" board, they have a big article on Hamilton. Of course, what you do depends on where you'll be docked, whether you want to go to a beach or play golf, etc.

If you don't want golf or a beach, try one or both of the following

1) The new and wonderful Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute. Great fun, especially the simulated "deepwater submersible trip". Open every day 10-6. If you're a member of a science museum at home, you might even have reciprocal free admission.

2) Afternoon tea at a hotel such as the Fairmont Princess Hamilton.

Do some research on Bermuda web sites. There's lots to do, even if stores are closed. If you're at the Dockyards and don't want the maritime institute, try a ferry ride to Hamilton and a bus back--or vice versa.
