Buffet food on the Joy was quite good this trip. I know it’s simple but I love that they have grits for breakfast. Prime rib was delicious.

Onboard Activities

Loved the ice sculpture carving. So fun to hang out on the pool deck when the DJ or band plays. We had a blast at the Glow Party. Battle of the Sexes was hilarious.

Casino

4 out of 5

I always spend too much time at the casino lol. No hand pays this cruise but we did have 4 $600 plus wins. Honestly the servers here are so fun and friendly too. My only complaint was the smoking area ventilation was terrible and I could not stay in that area at all.

Beautiful island.. very clean with the nicest people. I had a great time exploring the caves, zoo and aquarium. If you want a tattoo in Bermuda… go to Smokin Joes! We also ate at the Pickled Onion, very good food.
