Review summary

This was my 5th cruise to Bermuda. I love being there for three days. I also like the Bar harbor addition instead of another day at sea. The seas were very calm and the weather was perfect.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Best ever! Walked right on no lines. They said they got started early so it made it very easy.

Love Bar Harbor but weather didn’t cooperate. Very foggy and light rain. Luckily we didn’t book any excursions but did some shopping and had to get my favorite, lobster.

We stay on the ship at night but there is no curfew. You just have to be back before ship leaves on the 3rd day.

When you stay at one place for 3 days, how does that work. Do you stay on the ship all night? Do you stay in a hotel? Do you have a curfew to be back on the ship at a certain time at night?
