Atlantic crossings can stop in the Azores. Ponta Delgada is not in the Caribbean, and can be cold because it is in mid-Atlantic. Because of its position the island is visited on many Caribbean cruises to and from the UK. Many cruising fans will book this crossing just for the ship and the journey. If you stop in Azores, Doris Bar is on the harbour front, behind Moby Dick Tours and before Atlantic Bowling.

There is a military fort and museum here which is covered in another blog.

Car, bike, and scooter hire. Scuba and boats

If you turn right as you get off the ship, not left into the town, there are outlets in the port buildings for rental and trips.
