Review summary

This cruise was wonderful even though we missed a day in Bermuda because of Hurricane Ernesto. The weather was perfect. We renewed our wedding vows on ship. The crew did a wonderful job setting it up. The Captain was gracious enough to perform the ceremony. I would recommend anyone who is thinking of doing this. Do it! It was great!
