I chose this cruise first for the destination - second for the proximately of the terminal to my home. Easy on and off the ship, tho I will probably never leave on a cruise again that doesn't originate in warmer weather. It wastes days for me bundled up. I thought the venues were to spread - as in there was a lot of unutilized space onboard. I prefer the promenades of the Freedom class more. We did 2 excursions in Bermuda. The first a catamaran sail of the restless native. The crew and boat were superb. The location of the snorkeling wasn't all that great but very good for first timers. The next day we did the beach break and the beach was great with salmon pink sands - the food was reasonably priced for Bermuda but the bus getting us there was loaded with red ants and I left getting bit. It was horrible and I couldn't wait to get off.
