Review summary

Overall the cruise was nice. There were only a few aspects that we were disappointed with. We felt there was limited entertainment, there was only 1 option for included late night food and that restaurant had terrible service. No cabin towel animals which we look forward to. Parties were held inside instead of outside which made for very limited space for everyone that attended. Bermuda was beautiful and was the best part of our trip. We feel that for the amount of money that we spent to cruise this time, we were disappointed.

We sailed on the Gem when it first came out. It was nice but I thought the ship layout didn’t flow. Sailing to Bermuda usually is more money than the Bahamas and the Caribbean
