Review summary

I love this cruise. It's so easy to leave out of Boston and Bermuda is beautiful. Simon, the Cruise Director, is really funny and personable, he seems to love his job.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Great! We had priority embarkation so we were escorted to our cabin at 11:30.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The food is good but not great. I like the Venetian better than Aqua but the food is the same. We didn't do any specialty dining.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We did trivia, salsa dancing, game shows, it was all fun!

Entertainment

4 out of 5
My favorite was the Not So Newlywed Game, Second City and the Crew Talent Show. I didn't like the magic show as much as David Davinci's show last year.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Loved the butler (we were in a suite) but the room steward was not friendly.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I love this ship!

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
It was fine, but similar to the mini suite we had last year. I did enjoy the lounge chairs on the balcony but I found that I prefer mid ship (we were in an aft penthouse suite, much less grand than it sounds!).

Ship tip

Mid ship Mini suite is the way to go!

Ports of call

Boston, Massachusetts

5 out of 5
My hometown!

Royal Naval Dockyard, West End, Bermuda

5 out of 5
The dockyard is easy to get around and there are shops and beach close by. We went to Snorkel beach, 5 minute walk. Small beach but nice, there is a lot of coral or rocks in the water, though. My son and niece cut their feet and my sister broke a toe! We took the ferry to Hamilton; NCL also provides a tender to St George but we didn't use it.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We had priority disembarkation so from the time we left our cabin to off the ship it was 15 minutes.

Thanks for sharing your cruise.

I got tired of Simon's pre-recorded exhortations to go to bingo. Woo hoo!
