Just got off the BA today from Bermuda. This was my second time on the BA, third time to BDA (2 on the BA, one on the Dawn).

We hit some rough seas going and coming (2nd sea day and final day coming back). The captain did his best to make it smooth but there were many times the outside decks were closed due to winds. It rained. A lot. But it was while were at sea and mostly at night so it didn't spoil the days too much.

This was my 6th cruise, first time in an AFT balcony (and probably last). We were on deck 12. The balcony was HUGE, room was well-appointed (kudos once again to NCL for putting a bar in the shower by the feet to make it easier for the ladies to shave!). While the size of the balcony was amazing (you could fit a king-sized bed out there!), there was a lot of vibration at the back of the ship and you heard all the music from SpiceH2O. Our Room Steward Michael was AMAZING - called us by our first names each time he saw us and kept asking how one member of our party was since she fell ill due to the rough seas. He always seemed to be around at just the right time without being obtrusive. If he saw our group of three staterooms leave together he would quickly service the one with the sick party just in case she needed to come back early. Read more
