Review summary

A fun getaway for a few days - but very crowded. Must get Vibe passes to really enjoy.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

As we had priority embarkation, it was enjoyable. But there was a ton of confusion as to where to go.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The specialty food was really good - except for the “sushi”/asian food. We loved Le Bistro, Cagneys and La Cuchina, but the Hibacchi, the chef added way too much Garlic.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

We spent 95% of our time in the Vibe to avoid people. And you MUST reserve a cabana with NCL for the extra $$$. Saves you from having to save chairs.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Elements show as really good but comedian fell “flat”.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Staff was excellent

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Very well maintained and clean

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The cabin was perfect for 2.

Ports of call

Royal Naval Dockyard, West End, Bermuda

4 out of 5

Love Bermuda. While Horseshoe Beach is a must see, it’s too crowded to really enjoy. Go to elbow or others.
