King's Wharf, Bermuda
Roberta Saunier
When we were forced to dock
at the Royal Navel Dockyard because all the other ports were filled, lots
of people on our ship were very unhappy. They felt we were too far from
everything, especially the shopping district. Since shopping is not
something I look for in a port, that didn’t matter at all to me. Unlike
many other people on our cruise, I really enjoyed the dockyard. It is
quiet, but there is plenty to do there. There are shops and crafts (glass
blowing & pottery) as well as the Maritime Museum, Dolphin Quest, and the
ruins of the original dockyard.
You can rent scooters, but I would really recommend getting the public
transportation pass if you’re going to be there a few days. We used it to
go to Horseshoe Bay, which is beautiful. My husband had his own snorkeling
gear and was able to snorkel there. He found an interesting little
underwater cave. We also used to pass to take the ferry to Hamilton. It
probably would’ve been quicker to take the bus there, but the ferry ride
was more scenic. We were going to go to the Lighthouse, but it was raining
and visibility was poor so we skipped that.
This is a beautiful, tranquil spot. I would definitely go back.
