Sailed out on Bayonne to King's Wharf Bermuda on a 5 night cruise. My biggest disappointment was the quality of the food. The meals served in the Windjammer Buffet was pretty good but the meals we had at the Solarium Bistro, Sorrento's and the main dining room were well below what we expected. They seem to sous vide their steaks thus the finished result lacks flavor, texture and gives the meat a strange appearance. The skirt steaks we ordered at the Solarium Bistro were downright awful and we didn't even eat them after tasting the 1st bite. This ship is also very large and therefor it's crowded. It's a bit hard getting around on the ship cause you're always in a crowd and the elevators are slow and packed with people all of the time. King's Wharf Port in Bermuda is kind of boring. You can get around the island very easily from the dockyard. We booked a transfer to Horsehoe Beach and were picked up right in front of the ship. The beach itself was extremely crowded. The glass bottom Bermuda Triangle boat was a fun and informative experience. That sailed from right outside the port terminal. Other than that, King's Wharf has a small marketplace with souvenir shops and a two restaurants that are tourist traps, We caught a ferry from King's Wharf to Hamilton. Hadn't been there in a long time since when the cruise ships actually docked on Front Street. The area seems to have fallen off a bit since the cruise ships aren't docking there often. I highly recommend seeing the shows in the theatre. Unfortunately the show we were supposed to see in Spectra's Cabaret was canceled due to technical issues.

Cabin Review

Ocean View Stateroom

Cabin H

The cabin was ok except for the annoying sounds coming out of the ceiling by the sliding doors to the balcony. It was making a popping or creaking sound when the door was closed. I noticed some screws were coming out and one was missing. I don't know if previous passengers did this trying to relive the the noise or this happened from the vibrations. Also there was a lot of dust built up on the vents on the bottom of the refrigerator cabinet. Looks like it never gets clean.
