This was our 7th cruise on NCL and our 6th to Bermuda! We love cruising to our favorite island on NCL ships, the best crew and awesome food, outstanding entertainment. The only thing that we were not pleased with was having less deck space for lounging that was taken up by the race track and laser tag which brought many more children on this cruise than all the others. We have been on the Gem, Dawn, Breakaway and Escape twice each and was exceptional. My husband and I look forward to cruising again real soon as we are now Gold Latitude Members!
Embarkation

It was our worst experience of waiting 3.5 hours to board without any explanation. We have never had this before and hope it never occurs again.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
The quality of food and service was superb in all of the Dining Rooms and Specialty Restaurants. The crew in all the dining goes "overboard" and all deserve to be shown more appreciation from the guests.

Ship Quality
5 out of 5
There are too many things for children to do so that brought many on the ship. NCL has the best crew, always cleaning and well maintained.
Cabin / Stateroom

Our cabin was spotless, everything was in order and ready for us to enjoy!
Ship tip
Visit The District Brewhouse first (if you drink) for the best Bartenders on the Joy!
We LOVE Bermuda and this was our 6th cruise! We met friends on our 1st cruise on our 35th on Horseshoe Bay Beach and visit with them each time. This time we enjoyed being almost like we live there with our friends!! The dockyard is amazing filled with friendly people. Bermuda is filled with the friendliest people ever!
