I haven't been there since September of 2021. The Naval Dock Yard had charming shops and nice locals. My late ex and I were there three times together. We took Norwegian Cruise lines twice, and Carnival once out of Manhattan, NYC and had so much fun!
There are so many places to visit and sites to see. Our way of sight seeing was beginning the 1st day headed out to St. George's Parish and Hamilton.
We were very cautious in getting around. The drivers were not very safe, and at times, we felt that we were better off taking the ferry and not the public transportation, the bus, nor renting a scooter.
Other than that, the experience was amazing!
The first day, while at St. George's Parish, we stepped off the ferry and were surprised by how beautiful the area was. Some locals were having a wedding, and we walked through the park and up the hill to the unfinished church. Once on top of the hill, we saw the beautiful scenery.
We shopped at the quaint shops and talked to the locals.
After we got back on the ferry, we headed back to the Naval Dock Yard and took another ferry to Hamilton.
Hamilton was great. We walked around the town and went to some of the shops and to Robinhood Pub and restaurant. It was within walking distance from the ferry. We had lunch there. It wasn't overcrowded. The food was good.
Later that afternoon, we'd head back to the ferry and take it back to the Naval Dock Yard to the ship to rest and get ready for dinner.
The next morning, bright and early, we would take the public bus to Warwick Long Bay Beach, where it wasn't as crowded as Horseshoe Bay Beach. Then, after spending time there, we'd walk to Horseshoe Bay and catch the bus back to the Naval Dock Yard. One time, we tried out the Swizzle Inn. It was okay, the locals were very friendly.
We took the bus back to the Dock Yard and had lunch on board the ship, relaxed, and got ready for dinner.
The last day we were there, we'd go in the Dock Yard and shop and return to the ship in time to stand at our balcony and watch the Dock runners and cheer them on. What an amazing place to dock and visit!
