For us this was a spontaneous buy and cost-effective way of spending a few days relaxing at sea and in Bermuda -- without having to fly a anywhere and a short taxi ride away from our apt.in NYC.
Besides embarkation, which seemed needlessly long and slow, we felt we got great value. We found the mini-suite and balcony perfectly suited to our needs. Bathroom was particularly well appointed -- double sink and spa jet shower. Not the biggest cabin ever -- but for essentially a beach vacation -- more then enough room.
We also purchased the thermal spa for the week -- well worth the price a tranquil antidote to a hectic work schedule and beautifully designed and maintained. A dry heat sauna with huge picture windows of the ocean going by has a very detoxifying effect. We spent a lot of time there!
Embarkation took around 90 minutes. While there seemed to be a large number of check in staff, many of them weren't manning counters with the result that the check in line barely moved. On previous cruises from San Juan, we've been on the ship within 20 minutes of arrival at the dock.
