Review summary

Negatives: Disgusting clientele--morbidly obese people everywhere trying to get even fatter. Pools and hot tubs too disgusting to use. Smokers and polluted air in many places. Way overpriced wifi access. Tips automatically, inappropriately to bill. Entertainment geared to people with no intellectual curiosity. Positives: nice, accommodating staff. Decent food and choice.

Not a single lecture on the destination (Bermuda). Most activities were banal. Pools and hot tubs were petri dishes full of obese bodies.

Ship tip

Read the fine print and expect surprise charges on your bill. Understand your wifi and phone needs and charges ahead of time.

Floaters2, As long as you steer clear of the haters you should have a wonderful time. Remember, we are only as happy as we allow ourselves to be.

I can't believe you would be so thoughtless to say those comments against fat people. Shame on you. You don't walk in their shoes. By the way I am fat and I probably ate less than you. So look in your own back yard I am sure there are some weeds and something disgusting about you.

Gampy I find it odd that all the post you make are just the one word "nice" even when the post is negative. Do you know any other words? Are you just adding to your post count?

I was on the same ship as you and found everyone very nice especially when you took the time to chat with people. But then again I don’t think I met you. Yes at times there were places the ship had a strong smell of smoke like at the Topsiders Bar in the smoking section and also the cigar bar but those areas were really easy to avoid. In fact I spent time at these areas because there were many interesting intellectuals to chat with!!! The Wi-Fi access is overpriced but it actually worked most of the time but do you actually realize the cost of putting in Wi-Fi access? Why do you need a lecture on Bermuda? If you are an intellectual then surely you wouldn’t need a lecture and at least read up in the place prior to going. I spent virtually every hour I could on the island and found a few surprises. Like the other post stated maybe you should try Cunard.

I'm new to cruising, but I found that the obese, mentally challenged folks on my cruise were a whole lot preferable to the snooty stuck up people who can find nothing better to .do than complain about others. Sorry you missed out on the best partof cruising- meeting new people!

Sounds like maybe Holland America or Cunard lines might be more your style. They keep the smelly, fatties and intellectually challenged on the dock.
