Hi everyone.....i am ready to get booking on a cruise for August-Oct of this year to Bermuda. I typically also cruise Carnival, but I'd like to try something else! MSC and NCL both have a few to pick from during this time that i really like. But i just do not know what to choose! Any advice? What do you prefer? It's also good to mention, i have two kids that at the time of sailing will be 9 and 5. Thanks in advance!

Royal is an excellent choice for kids! My niece is 11, but has been cruising with Royal since she was 9 and it's her absolute favorite line. I've been cruising with them since I was 11 and they're fighting for Top Bunk with Celebrity for my favorite line (yes I'm aware they're owned by the same company).

Always happy to help when I can. And you will love Bermuda. It is an awesome place. If you are over nighting there consider getting a transit pass for getting around. There is a ferries from the ship direct to St George and busses that go everywhere and unlike a lot of the Caribbean islands Bermuda is relatively safe. If you want a pass look here

My suggestion would be neither. We have not sailed MSC but I have seen enough bad reviews to make me wonder. We mostly favour NCL but as you have kids I would suggest that you look for a 3rd option like RCL who also do a lot of Bermuda cruises and are more kid oriented in their onboard activities.
