We've been back to BDA by cruise in 2010 aboard Celebrity's GTS Summit out of Bayonne, NJ and flew back for an 11 night stay in May 2011. We have made reservations to fly back again for a 12 night stay on June 6th.
For transportation around the island I recommend that you purchase four-day bus passes. They are good for the buses and the ferries. I have a few web sites that I'll recommend to you and some hard copy info if you're interested.
Currently in a rush to get out the door but get back to me at "denny.conrad@att.net" and I'll respond to you later via email or telephone if you provide me with your phone number.
If you've not been to Bermuda since the 1970s you'll notice alot is the same and alot has changed. Regardless, I believe you will truly enjoy the cruise and your visit to Bermuda.
Thanks for your response to my post on our planned visit to Bermuda. We have not been back since leaving in Dec of 1977. From there I went to recruiting duty in Burlington VT., then to COSP HI - and retired in 1981.
I sent you an e.mail and included all the details regarding our visit in May - but forgot to include my phone number. It is (518) 792-6830
Dee,
You will really enjoy your cruise aboard Holland America Lines. My wife and I have sailed with them many times and the accommodations and service are always first class and perfect. Bermuda is on our list too.

I never served at NAVFAC Bermuda; it is just on my list of Holland America cruise destinations. I am retired now from teaching instrumental music in Ohio.
