I was very excited for our second day in Bermuda! On this day, our plan was to get off the ship and explore the port area. Since we were docked overnight, we were free to come and go as we pleased.
This was the Cruise Compass with activities for the day:
We started with a breakfast in the Main Dining Room on the ship at around 8:30 a.m.
Granola Parfait
Seasonal Fruit Plate
Buttermilk Pancakes with Bacon
Express Breakfast
French Toast
French Toast (no berries)–This was mine and delicious! I love french toast!
Buttermilk Pancakes with Banana
The Classic Benedict
Everyone enjoyed their breakfast here. It was a nice change from the busy buffet!
We finished up and were off the ship by 9:30 a.m. Here’s a map located just off the ship in the port area. We were going to walk over to the Clocktower Shopping Mall and do some shopping.
I had to explain what these were to these teens…JUST KIDDING! We couldn’t resist a photo opp though.
Here are some videos from the port area:
Look at our tiny ship!
Here’s a view from the ship into the port:
We were back on the ship by 12:30 p.m. Our plan was to lay by the pool until dinner time. We were lucky and found great seats!
I was realllllly thirsty for something fruity and came up with this concoction…1/2 strawberry, 1/2 mango daiquiri. Several people approached me and asked me what it was so they could order one too!
Little did we know that we had the best seats ever for the Men’s Bellyflop Competition!
This guy was so much fun and participated in everythingggggggg!
We headed back to the cabin to get ready for dinner. Tonight’s menu was “A Taste of the USA.”
Buffalo Chicken Dip–creamy dip with shredded grilled chicken, cream cheese and hot pepper sauce, topped with blue cheese crumbles and crispy tortilla chips
I got to taste this and it was very good!
Baked Potato Soup–rich and creamy, served with cheddar cheese, bacon, sour cream and fresh chives
New York Strip Steak–prepared to order with choice of herb butter or green peppercorn sauce, baked potato, sauteed vegetables
This was mine and it was yummy!
Kid’s Menu Chicken Nuggets and Fries
Royal Burger–1/4 pound patty served on a brioche bun with lettuce, tomato, pickles, fried onions, cheddar cheese, secret sauce and a side of fries
Maple and Bourbon Glazed Salmon–buttermilk mashed potatoes, crispy brussel sprouts and a Dijon sauce
Funny story…someone wanted to order the Lobster Mac and Cheese, but our waiter politely said he thought she should order something else. But that he would also bring some for her to try. He wasn’t fond of the dish for some reason, so we liked that he was honest with us!
Lobster Mac and Cheese–decadent lobster and pasta in a rich cheese sauce topped with toasted buttery bread crumbs
I honestly don’t know which dessert this is! Maybe the brownie from the Kid’s Menu??
Warm Apple Crumble–hot apple compote topped with crunchy streusel, vanilla ice cream
This was mine and it was delicious!
Royal Cheesecake–velvety cheesecake garnished with a glazed strawberry
This was my daughter’s and it is her favorite cheesecake ever!
Royal Chocolate Cake–layers of dark chocolate cake and decadent chocolate mousse
Also delicious!
After dinner, we went outside for some photos. (It was Tropical Night btw.)
Sunset!
We made our way to Some Enchanted Evening Lounge for some 90s Music Trivia. It was a blast from the past, and we knew every song!
After trivia, it was off to the Centrum for If You Know It Dance It!
We were feeling like it was time for a snack, so we went up to the Park Cafe which has late night snacks from 8:30 p.m.-12:30 a.m. These were the offerings on this particular night:
I opted for some pepperoni pizza!
It hit the spot for sure!
Overall we had a really great day shopping, eating, relaxing, and singing and dancing! Cruise perfection!
