Review summary

No clear explanation as to why we couldn't keep the original itinerary of 3 days docked in Bermuda. Wad bummed, but made the most of it.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
No issues. Very smooth process.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
All was good! We did try the Skyy frozen bar - it was different. The vodka shots as part of the price - stunk. Horrible.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
Did not participate in any. Kinda cool to be at the pool and with it being Spring break the hot tubs were full of kids and teenagers.

Entertainment

1 out of 5
Not much room in the auditorium. It was like walking into a school auditorium. Limited size means reservations and nothing available. We did manage to get into the magic show.

Children's Programs

Not traveling with kids.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All were great. It was difficult to form any sort of connection with any one. I attribute this to the ship size.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
First time on a slightly larger ship. I don't see the appeal. The layout is all wrong. However on a positive note, we did love the seating areas outside on deck 6 (or was it deck 8?). I also liked how the main dining area was broken down into 2 additional smaller venues. The acoustics were better in the smaller dining rooms.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Love, love, loved the larger bathroom. The shower was great!

Ports of call

Royal Naval Dockyard, West End, Bermuda

We love Bermuda. Was there last summer (different cruise line) for 3 days. Decided to do it again but with a different cruise line with same basic itinerary. On Sea Day 1 it is announced we would only be there for only 7-8hours. REALLY?? We had u s scramble to cancel the scooters we booked for the initially planned 3 days

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Went very well. Better than the disembarking debacle during the significantly reduced time we were granted at Bermuda.

Would have been nice if they told you a reason Bermuda was canceled
