Review summary

Had a great time. Bars can get crowded be patient. Show were good especially Blazing Boots. Casino was jammed pack every nights so it could get tough to get a machine. The food for me was to salty most days but was always able to find something to eat. I found the ship very clean and everything in working order. Bermuda is awesome. The people are fabulous anything you need to know they are willing to help. The dockyard is easy to get around and have plenty of small shops. We didn’t do the beaches this time. Free NCL ferry to St George run everyday except Sunday. We will be going again.

Ate at le Bistro and la Cucina which were good. Buffet was ok. Needed more of a selection. Found the food to be very salty this time.

Pool very crowded. Tough to find a chair on warm days.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Music was great throughout the ship. Swing for me was disappointing but Blazing Boots I loved

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Staff was good but not as friendly as to what I was use to

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Ship was very clean but they were doing a lot of painting of outside decks. So with that some portions were closed off and the strong smell of paint could be overwhelming

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Cabin had plenty of storage space. Bed was very comfortable. The tub was high to get into shower, so if you have any mobility issues that could be a problem. Steward was great.
