Cabin: Owner's Suite

My wife and I decided to take 12 of our children, grandchildren and significant others on this short cruise to Bermuda. None of them had taken more than 1 cruise previously and several hadn't ever cruised before. Like everthing, there were both good and not so good things, but the good far outweighed everything else.

Embarkation: Getting to the terminal was a horror. It took about 90 minutes for our rented bus to get from East Islip, Long Island to the entrance of the Cape Liberty area (by 12:30pm) and another 60 minutes waiting in a huge line of vehicles. If a police officer hadn't allowed our bus to take a bit of a detour we would have been on line for at least an hour and a half. Once in the terminal, however, the process moved along quickly. It is a shabby facility and really is in need of a make-over.

Our Stateroom: We booked the Owner's Suite so that the family could gather there or just hang out with us. It was large (0ver 500 sq. ft.), very comfortable and well worth the expense (although it's not something we would do each time). The others had a mix of balcony cabins and rooms with just windows. They were all happy with their accommodations.

Cabin Review

Owner's Suite

Cabin OS

Owner's Suite 1292A great room. Plenty of closet space and storage for suitcases. The bathroom is large with a shower, toilet, bidet, double sink and jacuzzi tub. The couches and the bed were very comfortable. The only 2 criticisms we have are:1. the balcony, while adequate, should have been larger for this type of cabin;2. their should have been two tv's - one for the bedroom area and one for the living room. Instead, there was one tv on a swivel.
