Review summary

Loved Bermuda. Great experiences with natives and activities. The ship was another story. Weather caused a lot of changes and the substations were not good or non-existent. Ship's officials NEED A BETTER BACK-UP PLAN!!!

Embarkation

1 out of 5

Late because of weather. Stuck in Baltimore until late on first night. Not much to do onboard.

Older ship. Less amenities.

Clean but we were surprised there was no mini-fridge.

Be wary of booking during bad weather on smaller ships. Weigh cheaper price with less amenities.

Disembarkation

Everybody getting off at once with no luggage assist. Too little supervision and too much chaos.

If you are going to let weather color your cruise experience, then you don't need to be cruising.

Good cruise, but hiccups out of Baltimore

Beautiful Bermuda

Food was awful: VERY limited selection. Chops Grille good food. Too few free activities.
