Review summary

Everything was wonderful. Wish the buffet or free restaurants offered lobster tails at least one night. The staff was outstanding and fun. Be careful if you head to one of the beaches on your own taxi, when the rain comes (it's an island expect showers, usually don't last long) you may wait along time for taxi home if you didn't book through the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We have a balcony connecting cabin on Deck 9 - Mid Ship near front. Made it easy to take elevator to 4th floor when heading out to Bermuda in port. Very quiet, could barely hear the Pool deck party or fog horns when slider was closed. Best location on boat.

Ship tip

Don't do the pay as you go internet plan. Kids forgot to logoff and what they thought was a five min check on emails ending up costing $38. If you must have internet pick the cheapest package but don't do pay as you go.

Royal Naval Dockyard, West End, Bermuda

Loved it! Recommend having lunch before you leave the ship. Cute free train brings you around the dockyard and then drops you off at Clock Tower Mall for shopping (open on Sundays). Note: Bermuda is not cheap so be prepared if you stop at any of the restaurants. Love walking the plank on the Pirate Ship, note says Free Admission but will cost you $5 to jump off the plank.
