Ports of call

Royal Naval Dockyard, West End, Bermuda

3 out of 5

This isn't our first trip to Bermuda, and the dockyard sucks compared to Hamilton and St. George; sadly they're no longer accessible ports and also the NEW BERMUDA is nowhere as good as Old Bermuda

We also loved Bar Harbor. Sorry they are going to limit cruise ship passengers.

Sorry to hear you didn't like Bar Harbor. We went several years ago and loved it. Thank you for your positive review. So glad you liked cruising on NCL. It is one of our favorite cruise lines.
