Review summary

Cruise.con did not keep us updated with what was needed before leaving. No mention of the extra charges. No mention of Coacay water park. But the Chops restaurant that they gave us free of charge was great

Embarkation

1 out of 5

No notice about paying a $40 charge per person to go to Bermuda and Cococay was presented a free $150 per person. Could not go on the boat until you got tested $100 per person CVS has it for free we missed their 2 day old results

You pretty much need to do your own research.

We always research everything prior to booking; ship layout and condition, ports of call, cabin layout, other ships in ports of call at the same time. Taking the time to do this can pay off and avoid surprises later.

I always do my own research of foreign ports to know what is required such as Bermuda Travel Authorization, Visa, ArrivCan. I knew three months before my cruise to Bermuda about the Bermuda Travel Authorization, applied 6 weeks before. I had my authorization within 48 hours.

It was communicated several times though the cruise lines that you needed testing and a Travel Authorization from Bermuda. This was well in advance of the cruise.

Thanks for the review. It’s always important to do research on what is and is not available on the ship as far as amenities. It’s also important to understand what is and is not included in your basic cruise fare. All of that information is readily available on the cruise website, with a quick Internet search or by reading the documents sent to you to board your cruise. CocoCay is free unless you choose to do the water park.
