For those sailing the Magic to Bermuda this month, please post your experiences so those sailing later in the month will have some ideas of what to do/not do both on-board and in Bermuda.

Thanks!!

I was on the Transatlantic sailing with a stop in Bermuda. I did the Mysteries of the Bermuda Triangle excursion. I really enjoyed my time on this excursion, however the title is a bit misleading. The mysteries of the Bermuda triangle is a really small part of the Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute. The website says:

• Start your exploration of this amazing museum with a section focused on the history of the Bermuda Triangle.

Section is right. You can spend more time on your own here, but it's hardly enough to justify the title.

What I liked about this excursion, it felt like value for money. I think if I had to pay for this by myself, it might have been a bit cheaper but not much.
It was about 45 minutes by boat going to Hamilton, 35 minutes back. Zoë and David were really fun and knowledgeable about the island, they are natives. Hannah at the institute was very passionate about her job and all they do there.
Being out on the water was really nice. Also that it's a half day excursion is a plus. When you return you have time left to lunch, shop, explore the harbour.

What I also liked is that it's a late arrival in port. Ashore time is around 10am, which gave the ship a very laid back vibe in the morning. People were taking their time to have breakfast, lounge around the pool. There were characters exploring deck 4 as we docked.

Thank you! Please tell me about the boat ride - we are thinking about taking the ferry over to Hamilton. How rough was the water? I was thinking it wouldn't be that long of a boat ride and we don't do well on smaller watercraft.

The water was not rough at all. We were so lucky with the weather on our sailing. On the way to Hamilton we took it a bit slower so Zoë could tell us more about the island and we could admire the scenery.
It was really relaxed.

It was executed by Captain Kirk's Coral Reef adventures. https://kirksadventures.com/
