We chose this cruise to celebrate turning 60 and because it offered the most time in Bermuda. We had a pair of first timers with us, but the rest were seasoned cruisers.

Embarkation was insane. We arrived on time, but lack of information, direction and signage caused confusion and frustration. Disembarkation was far worse.

The ship, as most already know, was diverted due to hurricanes. Would have been nice to know before we boarded, but the Hurricane Advisory on NCL.com was removed the night before we left, so we thought all was well when it was clearly not. Entire situation was handled abysmally by the captain and crew, and completely opposite the way the same situation was handled by other cruise lines.

Cabin Review

Balcony Stateroom

Cabin BC

Well located and quiet, and it has good access to stairs and elevators. Very narrow cabin and tiny balcony...but same as other balcony cabins in this category. Good storage and bathroom size is good. Shower is roomy. Cabin Steward Radwell is awesome!

Port Reviews

Nassau

No excursions offered. Port had just been hit by Hurricane Matthew. Lots of buildings still boarded up, but power was restored to shopping area. Most of rest of island still without power. Beaches a mess. Sad.
