Review summary

The ship was kept neat and clean. They recarpeted all the cabins while we were on board, and it really didn't inconvenience us. The crew was polite. There were a ton of activities we enjoyed, and for all ages. It seemed more appropriate for older kids (if any) though there were activities for younger ones. They cleaned the pools frequently which was good from a prevention stand point. They encouraged everyone to clean there hands with sanitizer before they ate (they provided the soap at the entrance).

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

We didn't like the fact that Johnny Rockets and Portofinos had a cover charge. We paid for the cruise, and it would have been nice to have all the food available for the price.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

It was fun climbing a rock wall while sailing

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Many were friendly, but didn't necessarily go above and beyond (like on some cruises). Our stateroom attendant was wonderful though!

King's Wharf, Bermuda

5 out of 5

Easy to get around on the public transportation system. We didn't book any excersions b/c of this. We really liked Horseshoe Bay Beach. Hamilton had some nice shops. The Royal Naval Yard which is right at the exit of the dock was nice also to shop at. It was in walking distance and had a nice little beach called Snorkel Park which was free.

Thumbs Up 0

Pros: All the activites kept us going the entire time.

Cons: The dinner service wasn't as good as I expected/ on other cruises (though it wouldn't keep me from taking this line again)
