🧭 How to play this day

CROWD-TACTICAL

The port-adjacent beaches fill toward midday, so head for the water early, then let the afternoon crowds have the sand while you explore Nelson's Dockyard's stone buildings and museums.

Deep Bay, a short ride west of the port, runs noticeably more relaxed than Dickenson Bay if you want a quieter beach without a long trip.

Why is this a little crowded?

2 ships are scheduled today, representing approximately 6,920 passengers of combined capacity.

Compared with other cruise days: Well above average for this port.
