Review summary

Bermuda is breathtaking. This was our first cruise, and we thought it was pretty close to perfect. The pools and hot tub's could have been managed better. It was hard to find one open. We found that people get in and stay in, regardless if someone has been waiting for a turn. The hot tub's that are marked adults only need to be enforced that way. Way to many kids in them. Staff should insist that children under a certain age not be permitted to run the ship alone. We had a few kids using the tables, chairs dishes, rails...you name it, for drums. Parents just left them alone to eat( they were probably around (4 or 5 years old) The ultimate snorkel excursion with captain Kirk was truly an adventure and a must do for anyone going to Bermuda. He was a very nice guy and knowledgeable about the island. The sunset catamaran swizzle tour on the Aristocrat ,gave us unforgettable views of the sunset. The unlimited swizzles were amazing. This is another must do excursion! The personal taxis on St. George island gave us so much history on Bermuda, on our ride to Glass beach. Our overall experience was truly amazing and we will be cruising again! A thank you to the ships crew!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

The pools and hot tubs were great once we got in them. Its a hard time to find room in them. People get in and stay in, leaving others standing and waiting. The hot tubs marked adult only...🙃 well they either need to remove the signs or enforce it. Because it was always full of kids

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Choir of man was a great show. We laughed so hard. I do however, wish that they would put some country music into some of their bar singers and spice club activities. To much head banging music for our taste

Spice H20

The ships crew was always so helpful. Our steward Derrick was amazing. And Rolendo, the bartender at the H2O Spice Club was so much fun.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

A very pretty ship. They do need to sell different things in their shops. I didnt think we needed such a big jewelry store, or a store for pocket books and shoes

The cabin was perfect

Ship tip

Hit the pools and hot tubs early to get a chair. The hot tubs were hard to find open seats. Even the hot tubs marked adults only had kids in them

Bermuda is beautiful. We enjoyed a day at the beach excursion, the ultimate snorkel excursion and the sunset catamaran swizzle excursion. I recommend all of them
