Review summary

I love Bermuda and I love cruising. I'm happy to be doing both. As far as the ship and food, etc, not the best experience. We went with another couple who have cruised Carnival twice in the past. They said they won't sail on NCL again based on this experience.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
Food was just plain not good. Mostly ate at the main dining rooms and buffet. The few specialty restaurants weren't much if any better. Drinks were bland and simple with no presentation. One stand out meal at the main dinning room was gross and I didn't even eat more than a few bites.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The Funky (I forgot the rest of their name) band that played through out the ship was the best band I have ever seen at sea.

Children's Programs

Didn't use

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Just didn't seem as attentive and eager as the staff on other cruises and cruise lines I have been on. Even less so than I am used to on NCL usually.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Very clean, best bed and pillows I have slept on in a long time! Bathroom SUPER small!

Ship tip

Enjoy the itinerary and eat on shore when possible.

Pointless stop for me. If I wanted to go to New England, I would have booked a New England/Canada cruise.

Disembarkation

Had to stand in line for a half hour to get off ship. That is way too long.

If Bar Harbor was pointless why book this itinerary?
