Review summary

Bermuda is lovely, the weather was perfect. Unfortunately covid hit the tourest industry hard. The bus system is basically non existent. The ferry still goes to Hamilton but the only way to St. George's is by taxi.

Embarkation

2 out of 5

Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be with all the testing but the amount of walking from the test site to the ship was rough.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

We didn't go to the dining room but the buffet was good You still serve yourself, and with only half the amount of cruisers there was never a line!

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

We didn't go to any shows.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

The crew were friendly and attentive It was a little hard to understand some of them because of the masks they had to wear.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5

The pool is way too small. We sailed at half capacity and it was crowded at the pool. I can't imagine what it's like when the ship is full. Plus there are only 8 chairs around the pool the rest are under the overhang of the deck above in the shade. For those of you who smoke on deck 16 is Spice H2O . A really nice area with tables and cushion chairs and a bar.

Cabin / Stateroom

Ports of call

Royal Naval Dockyard, West End, Bermuda

4 out of 5

We went to Snorkel Beach, just a short walk from the ship. Nice little cove with no waves. For 2 chairs, an umbrella, and 2 bottles of water it cost $42 for the day. There is a very overpriced snack shack. $17 for chicken fingers!!!

Please don't be mistaken I had a wonderful time. I just wanted to let people know that getting around the Island isn't as easy or cheap as it used to be. The color coded bus system was great. Taxi's can get expensive.
