Review summary

Overall we had a great time. Biggest complaint was not enough pools. When we wanted to cool off, it was so over crowded that it wasn't enjoyable. Bermuda is beautiful although one more day in port would have been perfect because we could have done another excursion or seen more of the island.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

No lines, very smooth process getting onboard.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Great food in main dining room; nice to have specials of the day along with other choices that were available daily. Buffet was good, casual food. Didn't try the specialty restaurants.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Tough to get reservations for onboard activities. Not enough pools; only 1 outdoor + 1 indoor and they were rather small considering the number of travelers.

Entertainment

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

We loved our 2 servers in the main dining room, Jhun + Shavresh. I don't remember our room steward's name but he was very friendly and helpful. Guest Services staff were extremely helpful and knowledgeable.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Very well cleaned + maintained. Only complaint about design was lack of swimming pools.

Ship tip

Our cabin was very far forward on the ship and we could feel the motion a LOT. Do some research about whether staying on a higher deck or more toward the middle of the ship lessens the motion and chances of sea sickness.

Bermuda is beautiful and there was shopping and mini golf and a small beach right at the port. We did the Sunken Shipwreck Snorkeling excursion and it was great, even though it had to be modified due to high winds. The guys leading the excursion had a great sense of humor. Was our first snorkeling experience.
