Review summary

Cruise was changed last minute due to weather. Instead of 3 days in Bermuda they added two sea days and we sailed to Bahamas. Got some beautiful weather so no complaints on my end. Just wish the communication about it was better and we didn’t have to find out from the Facebook group of the previous cruise

Embarkation

Quicker than I expected! No issues!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Didn’t have one bad meal until the last night when my steak was overcooked.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Everything was so busy, we didn’t get to experience any live shows, as we didn’t want to waste our experience standing in lines. I had advanced reservations for MDQ but was still told I needed to be 30-40 minutes early to get a seat. We ended up not going because our dinner at Cagney’s ran later. We LOVED the ropes course, but went to do it a second time and it was closed cuz of weather. The ping pong tables were destroyed by the teenagers who were constantly on them, so by the time anyone else could play, there had nothing to play with. Also, regardless of fitness centre or hot tub rules about kids, lots of parents disregarded them and let their kids do whatever

Entertainment

We loved what we saw, but missed a lot because the cruise was far over capacity

Ship Quality

Once we got used to where everything was, we had no trouble finding anything! Had no issues with cleanliness

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Loved our cabin!! Perfect for hubby and I!

Ship tip

Don’t listen to people who tell you not to book main dining room reservations. No, you don’t NEED them, but they made dinner seamless every night and we had very little waiting. It was great!

Ports of call

Royal Naval Dockyard, West End, Bermuda
