Review summary

We loved Bermuda - will be going back. As for the cruise; we were pleased with the cabin and food; Ship is not designed properly for full cruises; venues too small; NCL's new upcharge strategy for a lot of things drops value considerably; NCL appears to be confused about who it is targeting.
