Pre-Trip It’s not about Ryan Gosling, but there is a Gosling involved – A DCL Bermuda PTR

As professor Matthew McConaughey states, “alright, alright, alright,” let’s get this
Bermuda PTR party started!

Your eyes do not deceive you. Yes, it is I (or me – lol grammar) who will write or at least begin this PTR.

Here are the basics:

Who’s going on this cruise? Yes, you guessed it…me and @lostpro9het .
410895


Again, the kid is not invited.

When is this amazing adventure going to happen? October 17 – 22

Where are we going? Bermuda. Yes, the same Bermuda as the Bermuda triangle.

Why? Well, why not? It’s our 21st anniversary. Plus, #tonyfromspain will be the club host. He’s been on our past 3 cruises (Dream and Fantasy), so it’s a nice treat for our 1st voyage on the Magic.

The itinerary:

We’re flying to NYC (to LGA – yes, I know it’s terrible) and staying in a hotel overnight. We do not want to chance a same-day flight. We’ll grab and uber/taxi to port the next morning.

October 17 – New York City – We’ve never been, so we’re pretty excited.
October 18 – At sea – this may be the Halloween day. We have costumes.
October 19 – Bermuda – Beach Day; We have a Gosling rum sunset cruise planned for the evening
October 20 – Bermuda – Pirate Night; We have a catamaran excursion planned; Palo dinner
October 21 – At sea
October 22 – New York City – we fly back home on this date.

We have no other excursions planned. Mostly, we’re winging it.

We have another aft stateroom. We really think this is the best location on the ships.

From what I’ve read, Bermuda’s pretty nice. I’ve looked up prices of things, and they’re quite high. I read that everything pretty much has to be imported. Think Disney prices.

We’ve received our luggage tags (it's a sad little folder now), but that’s really it. We’ve yet to really do anything for this trip. One of us will update when something new happens.

If you’d like to cruise with us, I’m sure there are plenty of staterooms left!

It has been so nice being the only ship in port the past day and a half. Nothing is crowded. No one is trying to sell their wares and everyone has been friendly.

If you never considered Bermuda, it's definitely a repeat stop. Horseshoe bay > Castaway Cay.

It's been forever since I visited Bermuda. It's such a lovely island with beautiful beaches. If you get a chance, the shops in Hamilton are very nice, from what I remember. I also remember a perfume place on the island, where they use the flowers in the perfumes.

New York customs was a breeze and finding Disney transportation was easy. It was a rough night last night. We were sailing through remnets of Nestor. Pools were closed all day.
It is suppose to be nice today in NY but this morning while walking the dog the sun was coming up and the sky was red. You know the saying: red sky at night sailors delight. Red sky in the morning, sailor take warning.

And this because I can:

And just like that, we're back at home. Got to the airport around 9 am and changed our flight to 10 am (instead of original at 1:49 pm). Flight was pretty uneventful unlike the one going up. Overall, great trip despite the weather. The seas were rough yesterday and even the patch behind my ear wasn't working well.

A trip report should be coming soon.
