Review summary

Enjoyed it. Bermuda is well worth it. Visit Frog and Onion. Tobacco Bay.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Took 1 1/2 hrs from outside to getting on the ship. The lines moved but if everything is already done it seems like a long time.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Buffet was just ok. The MDR for breakfast and dinner was good. Food was good and delivered quickly. Cagneys was excellent. The Smokehouse was excellent. I was disappointed with the banana pudding tho. We also did the American Diner which was ok but not nec diner choices. La Cucina had a decent pizza.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Pools- there are only 2 rather small pools for 3800 people. People put out towels possibly the night before.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Everything was booked at the start. Saw the Beatles the first night. The Theater isnt big. Wanted to see comedians but couldn’t get in.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Service was excellent. Staff went above and beyond.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Loved the observation lounge at the front. Best Starbucks coffee. Layout is similar to Breakaway and Escape?

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
I bid on an upgrade to pay $500 more for this mini suite. It was nothing more than a balcony with bigger shower. I did RCL Anthem and got an upgrade to a minisuite- it was double the size of this room. Wasted $500. It was tight for 2 people. Good location by elevators.

Ship tip

Check out Observation Lounge. Go to the Smokehouse. and Cagneys Take free ferry to St Georges if you go to Bermuda.

Ports of call

Norfolk, Virginia

So glad you enjoyed your cruise. I was on the Joy in March and loved in so decided to take it to Bermuda Instead of having to fly since we are in NJ. I am hearing a lot about jellyfish. Is horseshoe Bay not open?

The bad thing when you do an upgrade like that is you do not know what you will get keep your money noxt time to spend it on ship or in ports

Appreciate your feedback. Sorry this mini-suite wasn’t as good as the previous one. Glad you mostly enjoyed your cruise.
