My friend, a first time cruiser and I(12 cruises) took the 7 night cruise to Bermuda on July 15 to relax and recover from work burnout. I had hurt my back and did not want to get on a plane, even to fly to an all inclusive resort.

It was very easy to get to the pier by taxi and we breezed through security and embarkation. What a pleasure to start a vacation without airport hassle!

We had a balcony cabin with a wonderful feature: our own coffee maker with coffee, tea, milk & sugar. We could start the day with fresh coffee on the balcony in pajamas! We had a great steward who surprised my friend with cute towel animals, made sure we had a full ice bucket and fresh towels and kept our cabin spotless. The cabin had plenty of easy access drawer and closet storage and the bathroom was also roomy and well laid out with an opaque glass enclosed shower and an opaque glass enclosed toilet on opposite sides of the sink, so 2 people could use the bathroom at the same time in relative privacy.
