Review summary

Price made it a good option to see Bermuda. Glad we got to visit. Always like Coco Cay.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Had to spend close to an hour in line outside in the heat and humidity. Went fast once inside. They need a plan to have lines inside when there are glitches.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Miss the free options other ships provide; for burgers, mexican, sea day brunch, etc. Staff did excellent job setting up and providing food at Coco Cay.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Only went to "Oh What a Night" and final night Variety Show, which we really enjoyed. Scheduling dinner and shows is problematic. Side offerings were limited, including seating. l

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Understaffed, but workers were incredible covering for the shortage.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Clean, but dated. Better pool and hot tub layout than some newer ships.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Balconies were more than twice the cost of our 8th floor inside cabin, which was fine with us. Clean and well serviced by our steward.

Ship tip

Prepare to deal with terribly inconsistent internet, no matter where you are on ship. When I think of all the times I googled something and it timed out...

Ports of call

King's Wharf, Bermuda

4 out of 5
Employees encountered at Naval Dockyard were not particularly friendly. Most employees elsewhere were much better. Horseshoe Bay was extra beautiful.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Perfect day, indeed. Lots of jelly fish, but no one to ask if they were the stinging kind. Lunch was impressive effort and result..

Port Canaveral, Florida

4 out of 5

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
As good as it gets. They adjusted the process to deal with NASA launch by trying to get everyone off by 8:30. What they did worked well and they need to do it all the time.

We were on the same sailing. I booked specifically for Bermuda and it did not disappoint. Horseshoe Bay Beach is gorgeous. Also loved CocoCay 😎

Also, 'My Time Dining' is too limited in options. Other ships' let you make short notice reservation with App. We had one 'time' choice of 7:15 that reservations had to be made on day one.
