Favorite things to do in Bermuda & Nassau?

Can you rent chairs at Tobacco Bay beach? I'm thinking about booking a cruise on NCL. We usually book excursions through the cruiseline, but I feel like there's no need to in Bermuda.

They have snorkel gear, food, chairs etc.

I didn't know DCL was offering a cruise that goes to Bermuda.

If you go to https://disneycruise.disney.go.com/cruises-destinations/list/#bermuda-cruises you can see the cruises DCL does to Bermuda. (Just go to the main DCL page and click the "Sailing To" option and select Bermuda or whatever other destination you want to visit). Most are from NYC including a repositioning to Puerto Rico. A couple are from Port Canaveral. My wife and I are doing one of these in 2 weeks

I Love Horseshoe Bay beach. You can pick up a shuttle right at the ship. Beach is gorgeous. Bathroom, food, bar and rentals.

I was there in 2018 and I will be there this November.

Sorry about double post.

We also took a tour of the island. It went to the lighthouse, Hamilton and St.George, plus a few other stops.

I didn't know DCL was offering a cruise that goes to Bermuda. I've been looking to book Bermuda on NCL for June 2024 since they are there for 2.5 days. I always see Horseshoe Beach recommended. All the videos I see of it show it being jammed pack. Do you know of any beaches that aren't so crowded. All we'd need is one that has chair rentals and restrooms. Ever been to Tobacco Bay beach? I also see there's a street festival in Hamilton once a week. Have you been to it?
Thanks

The Dream is going to be sailing out of NYC in the Fall and they have a few cruises that are going to Bermuda and some to Canada. I put this list together for my own reference as I like to see the itineraries in date order.

My husband and I are planning on doing the behind the scenes tour of the BAMZ in a couple weeks; very unlikely but has anyone here done that one before? It is fairly expensive, but I volunteer at our local zoo in my free time, we enjoy aquariums, and have enjoyed some behind the scenes tours at other rehab and husbandry sites very much. I'm hoping this one is worth it..!

Nassau I love Blue Lagoon. There is so much to do there or you can always just lay on the beach. I like that its a private beach. We've done dolphin encounters there and one of my most recent trips I swam with the sharks!

We did Blue Lagoon in Feb 2022 and did the beach day. My kiddo was 13 at the time and we both had a nice day just hanging out on the beach and playing in the water. I love that it wasn't super crowded and that it was away from the animal section. Lunch wasn't all that great (hamburger and fries) but it worked for us. I am considering going again on our cruise in 2024.

I did this excursion, https://disneycruise.disney.go.com/...rf-bermuda-mysteries-bermuda-triangle-cruise/

While I enjoyed it, the description and the title is a bit misleading. Best part was the boat taking us there, the crew and guide were locals, young people in their twenties, telling us all about the island and what's it like living there.

The museum itself is nice, and it was great to get a guided tour. Only thing.... The title said 'mysteries of the Bermuda triangle', and that's only a small part of the museum. There is a section dedicated to all the theories how the ships etc. went missing. A bigger part of the museum is dedicated to ocean life, preservation, etc. Very interesting and I am glad I went, but it's not what I booked the tour for.

Good part of this tour, it's short. Afterwards I did have time to go to the shops in the harbour and pick up some local souvenirs.
