Bermuda Cruise Reviews

I was on the NCL Breakaway in Oct 2023 with my family and had a great vacation to Canada! The GEM was a totally different experience. Bartenders need to be more attentive and friendlier. Some are rude particular the bartenders in the Outdoor bar on the rear of the ship and below O'sheehan's was hit and miss. They are not greeting and don't keep track of the order in which people arrive to the bar. ...

We wanted a short getaway with my 3 elementary school-age granddaughters. We love cruising. Since 1981 we have cruised over 100 times, on many different lines worldwide and we have certainly seen the industry and the ships evolve to the luxurious vessels at sea today. But, NCL has away to go to catch up in the evolutionary chain. By far, the biggest problem is communication...or the lack ...

In looking for a reasonably priced Christmas Cruise we found the Dec. 18-23rd cruise to Bermuda on the Getaway. While we are loyal to Royal Caribbean (Diamond members) the dates fit our grandchildren’s Christmas break, offered activities they would enjoy, and a good price. It was very disappointing overall. The rope course, and racing water slides the grandkids would enjoy were not open any ...

This cruise was a nightmare right from the port in NY! The boat was hours late getting there then we stood in line outside in the cold for hours on end waiting to get through security. You would have thought that NCL would at least have the decency to tell us what the hell was going on and perhaps pull the families out of line that had little kids but nope! Then the ride was like a cork in the ...

Second cruise on NCL in 18 years, now I know why we waited this long. First cruise on on NCL Majesty and that was average at best. We cruise often and just came off on RCCL Oasis and that was outstanding. This cruise fit our time slot and was out of NY, very convenient. This is where the good began and ended. Ship was four hours late getting into Port Of NY due to rough seas, understandable. The ...

I chose the cruise for the price and convenience. I always envision a great cruise as less than $100/day with drinks included - Norwegian cruise lines often offers this deal. This time they also offered free specialty dining AND $50 toward any shore excursion. A total win! I have done Norwegian cruises before and have very much enjoyed them. This one had the most frustrating cruise check-in ...

First, I would like to say this is our 4th cruise with Norwegian and third in the last three years. Our last 2 were on the Norwegian Gem. Our first was on the Majesty 22 years ago for our honeymoon to Bermuda. We figured it was time to go back to Bermuda and the Joy was the option that would line up with our available times off. Let me say that we were not impressed with Norwegian this time. ...

We are avid cruisers and have been on MSC, NCL, and RCI. We wanted to go on the Joy because of its New York departure port and because we haven’t been to Bermuda in many years. Getting on the ship was ok, nothing to really complain about it was as efficient as rude people allow it to be. Once on the ship we did what all good cruisers do, we went to the buffet, sat down, got food and tried to ...

Left 6 hours late. Had to pay extra charges for drinks those six hours, not our fault. Trip only has two ports and they decided to skip Norfolk. A lot of shows were "sold out" but we showed up any way just in case and got in and there were seats. Staff talked down to us like we were beneath them at the restaurant, at the go carts and on the phone. They kept saying, "Well YOU KNOW that's an extra ...

This cruise was a mixed bag with some weird things mixed in. NYC to Norfolk VA to Bermuda. Weird thing #1. Stop in VA canceled because of some sort of whale thing in VA. I guess it's whale season, and they don't want cruise ships going thru...maybe.... We never got any explanation. Weird thing #2. One of the performers for the main show must have had some sort of accident, because ...
