Our family of four - two adults and two children (18 & 15) - took this cruise out of Baltimore to relax and spend time touring the beautiful island of Bermuda. We chose a cruise over flying directly to the island, because after adding up the cost of airfare, hotel, food, etc. the cruise just made more sense economically. Unfortunately, the cruise did not live up to our expectations.

Embarkation in Baltimore on the first day went very smoothly. Although the port is relatively small, we were able to board the boat in about 20 minutes. The only hitch was that the computer said only three of us were 'Gold' members in the Crown and Anchor Society, even though we had all previously cruised on Royal Caribbean to the Caribbean about four years ago. Guest services kindly fixed this for us after we boarded, but it was an extra hassle that was very unnecessary.

Unfortunately, that was only the beginning of the downward spiral. Beyond being horribly seasick for two of the seven days of our cruise, many other things fell well below our expectations. Read more
