Review summary

Looked forward to it for over a year and so disappointed. Talked family members to join us and now feel guilty I did. Luckily Bermuda was beautiful Also had 100 minutes of Wi-Fi that as soon as you signed on started to tick away versus other cruises it ticks away only when you go on line.

Embarkation

1 out of 5

Started off bad and progressed from there! NO PARKING at the port. After having to pick a boarding time waited in line for 3 hours. Got on board and not even offered a glass of water.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5

Only 2 small pools. “Adult” only area was very small and children swimming in the hot tub daily because not enough water areas for the number of travelers. Not enough outdoor areas to sunbath very crowded (I guess no Covid precautions) people jammed in, on the two days at sea unable to find a chair, no quiet areas to sunbath. Focus was on Haven areas and vibes where people pay more. We paid 2500.00 and I guess that is not enough.

Cabin / Stateroom
