Review summary

Bermuda is a great getaway for people in Boston and New York. Original cruise was for five days, changed to four. So glad there is nothing to see other than the beach. If you are not a beach person, little boring. Why do we want to go shopping? That’s something we do at home in our favorite stores and can find more bargains. Cruising now is expensive...not like years ago where you could afford to go shopping for gifts. Very few people buy gifts. Need to rethink how people spend their money.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Our stateroom attendant was fantastic, dining room staff was great. Sales people in the shops were great...one even wrote us a thank you note...incredible.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Personally, do not like the layout...missed Latin music. Should not lump layout and cleanliness...two totally different subjects. Liked there was so much music on the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Size very small. Since we like to cruise, we make the best of small cabins and we had to make the best of this cabin.

Ship tip

Not the newest...could use a loving touch.

Boston, Massachusetts

We have great beaches in Florida, so not interested in a beach. Excursion on city bus for $7.00 rather than $103 pp.

Worst worst ever. No organization. Almost witnessed a fist fight. Needed more control.

There's plenty of excursions you can do that can be booked privately or through the cruise line.

Again Bermuda has numerous excursions and tours they can be booked with the ship, trip advisor and found at port so much to do you could easily spend a week there. Dont just show up the day of with no research.
