Additional details

Sail Date: May 2010

We arrived at the New York pier #90 around 1200. Check-in was quick but we were assigned open seating dining. We had confirmed first seating dining. I pushed the wheelchair myself to board the ship. Our cabin wasn't ready, so we went to the Lido buffet and ate lunch. After lunch, I went and got our dining arrangements changed. We arrived at our cabin and soon our luggage arrived. We had an inside cabin on Deck #5,Main deck. We had 4 of us in the cabin. Around 4:30 P.M., we had the lifeboat drill which we were not to take our lifejackets to our station. After that, we went to a higher deck to get ready to take pictures of our departure. We could see the Statue of Liberty as we passed it on our way out to sea.

We arrived in Bermuda on 5/4/10, but we could not anchor at St. George's because of the high winds which would caused trouble for tendering. We went to dock at Hamilton. We arrived there around 0900 on 5/4/10. We were docked here until 2:00 P.M. on 5/7/10.

Three days in Hamilton was too much. There is not that much to see or do there. We did go to St. George's for one day by ferry. You can purchase a 1 day pass for the ferry or bus for $12, or a 2-day pass for $20. You can't ride the bus if you have a wheelchair, so we had to take the ferry if we went anyplace.
