This is probably my 12th cruise. I was a bit hesitant about booking the cruise when I read some of the negative comments. Luckily, I was pleasantly surprised! I found the specialty restaurants to be delicious! We ate at Cagneys and La Cucina twice and once at the Brazilian steak house and La Bistro. Service at all the restaurants was very good. The only thing I would say negatively about them was in Cagneys, my husband wanted some shrimp with his steak and they said it was $10 more for a second entree. That seemed excessive to me (we had purchased the dining package). I had booked reservations on line before we went so we had no problems with reserving times. All the comments about the pools are true. It is very difficult to get a chair and the pools are packed! I think the water slides take space away from having more pool space. The kids on board seemed to enjoy the slides, though. We don't spend time at the pools so for us, this wasn't an issue (we have a pool at home). I loved having time in one place and Bermuda is beautiful. It isn't like many of the islands where you have people constantly trying to sell you things. We did the "Hidden Gems" excursion and it was amazing. So worth the money! Our cabin was great. We booked the mini suite with large balcony. This is the way to go. The balcony has enough room for 4 lounge chairs and a table. We like to read on the balcony so this was perfect! Our room was always so clean! Getting on and off the ship was easy. I like the carry your own bags option. I have never liked having to put my bags outside the door by 9 on the last night of the cruise. I thought the entertainment was good, too. We did the Cirque dinner (show amazing, food just okay), Rock of Ages (great music), Burn the Floor (like Dancing with the Stars, very talented dancers) and Second City Improv (very, very funny). I felt most of the staff was friendly. All in all, our experience was positive. I would definitely go on another Norwegian Cruise.

New York (Manhattan)

It was great sailing out of New York. We were able to see some Broadway shows and sight see before our cruise.
