Review summary
Not a fan of the big ships, however when you’re on the island for several days it’s not so bad. Bermuda has ruined all the other islands for me. There is so much to see and do. Grab a taxi at the pier and take a tour of the island, you won’t be disappointed. The locals are full of interesting knowledge and will go out of their way to make sure you have a great trip. Also, don’t waste money booking excursions to the beaches through NCL. Grab a bus at the pier and you can spend more time.Embarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
The Manhattan Room
Service was good, much better then Taste and Savor. Unfortunately, they all offer the same menu.
Teppanyaki
Dinner and a show! Food was good and plenty! There are 4-8 tables going at one time, so it can get very noisy.
Savor
Service was slow, food was good, but offered the same menus as Taste and the Manhattan room. Only difference was the view.
O'Sheehan's Bar and Grill
Great place to catch a late night snack. Menu is limited for meals.
Garden Café
Always plenty of food. Walk around all sides to see what’s being offered, there seemed to be no rhyme or reason as to where things were. Only 2 toasters to use in the morning, so I suggest go there first, then get the rest.
Atrium Café
Always a variety of food, but walk around and see what every side offers! There seemed to be no rhyme or reason to where things were.
Bayamo by Ocean Blue
Service was good, but the food was rather bland. Ordered surf and turf, the lobster had no flavor even with butter.
Onboard Activities
Tradewinds Shops
In my opinion, don’t waste your time. Save your money and spend it on the island(s).
Entertainment
Headliners Comedy Club
The comedians were good and drew big crowds. The dueling pianos were ok, not very dueling since they didn’t play together but individually. Also they say that they play what people request and don’t have a play list, which I dont believe. I’ve seen this show on numerous ships and it seems the same songs are played.

Expect crowds! Entertainment in the theatre was limited to a few shows. If reservations are needed, book early or forget it.
