Traveled with children
Oma and Papa treated grandson, age 6 and his sister, age 3; other grandson, age 3 and his sister 14 months AND their parents to this cruise. The two families had an inside cabin across the hall from our mini suite where all hung out on the balcony. Our son and daughter are veteran cruisers and we are NCL platinum.
In preparation for this cruise, I bought the families clip magnets to hang the dailies and flashlights with magnets to stick to the wall by their bed in case the kids got scared in the night. I had the kids color tropical fish (Oriental Trader) and glued magnets on the back to put on their cabin door so they would know which cabin was theirs.
We flew in the day before and stayed at the Holiday Inn Express on Boston street because they provided transportation from the airport and to the cruise port. Great choice for us. We took the Old Town Trolley around Boston during the day and walked to a chain restaurant near the hotel for dinner.
Cabin Review
Mid-Ship Mini-Suite with Balcony
Cabin MA
Everything was clean and in working condition. Plenty of storage space.
Good location between aft and midship elevators. Can walk up just one deck to Garden Cafe or take elevators down to main dining rooms.
Only issue is that it is right below the Garden Cafe and you can hear the scrapping of the chairs above all the time. Generally not an issue at night.
Port Reviews
King's Wharf
We had been to Bermuda before, so we felt we did not need and excursion. We took the mini bus at the wharf to Horseshoe Beach. Great beach for all ages. Since we got there late (2:30 p.m) , we only had to pay half price for chairs and umbrella. But they started collecting the umbrella and cushions a little after five. Last mini bus goes back to the wharf around 6.
NCL offers a complimentary ferry to St George's We took advantage of that one day. Love the quaint town and Tobacco Bay. We visited the museum there and went on the Deliverance, a replica of the ship built by the survivors of the Sea Venture that wrecked on Bermuda which started its colonization.
We had never seen the Crystal Caves, so we toured that on a rainy day. Good, but no need to do it again.
The wharf itself has some nice shops and restaurants. Liked the craft and artist's shop, but prices are high. Had fish chowder and Swizzle at one place with view of the ships.
