Review summary

The best part of the cruise was the service, food and entertainment.  The trip back from Bermuda as smooth and faster than originally planned.  Unforturately bad weather caused the ship to take an alternate course down to Bermuda from Boston.  The additional day at sea caused us to lose one planned day on Bermuda.  We took a shore excursion on a 5 hour mini bus tour of the islands.  We strongly advise NOT to take this tour.  The mini bus was small and uncomfortable and the tour did not allow sufficient time to do any signtseeing in the towns we "drove-by".  The tour guide was interesting with local stops and great vistas.  The snorkel park beach was a disappointment.  There was no good spots to use the snorkel and the beach was more like a pond beach than a beautiful Bermuda beach.  The management of the spot left much to be desired.  We do NOT recommend this as your shore excursion in Bermuda.  You would be better served to take the shuttle to Horshoe Bay Beach.  

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The specialty dining we mixed reviews. Some good and not so good. The Garden Cafe was noisy and the food as average.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
The on board activities were limited. The pool was empty until the fourth day due to the poor weather.

The couple who entertained us most nights were great!

Suggest that you choose a sail date in June or later. May was too soon this year.
