The closest thing you will come to is Don't Stop the Carnival. They depart from the main dock in Hamilton and take you to Hawkins Island (not very far away but it seems like they take forever). On the way you are provided with free dark & stormy or swizzles. On Hawkins Island they have a set up with a stage, kitchen of sorts and washrooms. All you can drink, eat and a kooky band/side show. They shut the bar down about 1/2 hour before you depart back to Hamilton. No drinks on the way back.

Tanya-<BR>Do they also offer sunset cruises? Thanks for your description of the "Don't stop the Carnival". Is it worth visiting for our anniversary?<BR><BR>Been to Aruba 3 times and my wife and I love it there.<BR><BR>Thanks a million.

I'm sure they'd never call it a "booze cruise" in Bermuda. Maybe a "floating cocktail reception."<BR><BR>

Are you saying that Bermudian's are prude? This isn't a cut down, just an honest question.

No Sal, dahling, just too proper to call it something so gauche as a "booze cruise." :)<BR>Haha reginald, or perhaps "a waterborne<BR>libation festivity event."

Try Captain Bob's cruises. He does a sunset cruise where the rum swizzles are so strong that you will feel them after two. His cruise is very informal, fun and small.<BR>

No, they're not prudes - they're British!<BR><BR>Bermuda tries not to fall into the "braid your hair lady"/booze cruises all over the place/"10 tshirts for $5"/party til you puke trap. Party Central it ain't, but you can/should have a great, relaxing time there.<BR><BR>
