Review summary

Overall, I had a fine cruise. I would recommend to folks that you do a 6 night cruise vice 5 to Bermuda so, you have plenty of time to do things. I really liked having a full day there. I enjoyed seeing the Crystal Cave but felt the aquarium was a huge waste. I do wish the ship could've docked at Hamilton (it's too big) as that would've made it easier to see it. The ferry takes 30 minutes to get there. I felt the ship's crew did a fine job. Also, I enjoyed the views of Fort McHenry from the water. The ship doesn't have all the attractions the bigger ships have but, they can't get a bigger ship into Baltimore. I watched the ship sail under the Francis Scott Key Bridge and, it looked me like it only had 3 feet of clearance from the top of the antenna to the bottom of the bridge. The biggest plus sailing out of Baltimore has is the convenience. It took me just 20 minutes to get to the terminal which I liked. I'll definitely sail out of Baltimore again.

Embarkation

2 out of 5
Something went wrong with embarkation because the line was nearly out the door of the terminal when I arrived. I thought them having scheduled check in times was supposed to prevent this.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
I ate at the Windjammer Cafe almost the entire time I was on the ship and, I thought they did a fine job.

Vitality at Sea Spa

I was really pleased with the Fitness Center. Unless I was doing a tour, I was here every day and never had a problem getting an exercise bike.

Entertainment

Centrum

5 out of 5

They had a band from Manila called Rockport which did a good job. Many times, they took requests and they had a large song repertoire. I enjoyed them a number of times during the cruise.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
My cabin steward Yudi was outstanding. He kept my cabin immaculate and left some very neat towel animals.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
My cabin was small which is what you expect for an inner cabin but it was enough for 1 person.

Ship tip

Book your tours in advance otherwise they may be sold out by the time you get on the ship. This happened to me and, I had to go with a higher priced tour which wasn't worth the extra money.

Ports of call

Royal Naval Dockyard, West End, Bermuda

5 out of 5
I very much liked the Dockyard with the various shops and the Frog and Onion Pub. Also, it's easy to catch a ferry to Hamilton from here.

Disembarkation

2 out of 5
We had problems getting cleared by Customs which delayed everyone getting off the ship.
