Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

food was good, didn't care for the first come first served dinner service, the buffet was always an option, main dining room was attractive

Entertainment

3 out of 5

some of the entertainment was excellent, some fair at best, didn't care for crying babies while trying to hear the entertainment

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Ship Quality

1 out of 5

the decor was hideous, the pool area too small for the number of guests on the ship, when we docked in Bermuda it was an hour and a half bus ride to get to the part of the island we wanted to see

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

the bed was very uncomfortable, bring a bar of soap as the shower and sink only offer liquid soap dispensers, room was clean and attractive, only news other than BBC was Fox news, major inconvenience

Ports of call

King's Wharf, Bermuda

3 out of 5

crystal caves is a must see, restaurant prices are very high, used to be Bermuda's main industry was tourism, now it is the banking and insurance industries and it shows...

Thumbs Up 0

Don't Miss: crystal caves

Pros: cabin steward was great, Leo the guitar player outstanding, some of the other entertainment

Cons: the decor, the number of children, the size of the ship, the freestyle dinner seating

Recommends Norwegian Gem? No.
