We have cruised many times, but this was our first time to Bermuda. Also our first time out of Bayonne. Pre cruise we stayed at Country Inn & Suites and it deserves the praise it gets on CC. Front desk folks are gems, very personable and helpful. Embarkation was ok, but the extra step of catching a bus to shuttle folks over to the ship from the registration area was tiresome. We are Diamond with RCCL, so we actually were given priority and it still seemed like a long time sitting around waiting. Disabled cruisers and those with small children have top priority, so kudos to RCCL for that and staff work very hard to keep things organized and moving along smoothly. It's a beautiful view of the NY skyline and the Statue of Liberty after boarding!

The ship is older, but seemed very clean and well tended from our observation. No complaints with our cabin 7606. Attendant Jocelyn took very good care of us. The entire crew for that matter was excellent in service!

We had two at sea days getting there. Activities and entertainment were the standard fare. I will say that the majority of the cruisers seemed to be from New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania and were a boisterous, fun loving group of fellow travelers. Read more
