Bermuda Cruise Reviews

I've been on 20+ cruises and this is my 7th NCL cruise to Bermuda. So many of the fun aspects of cruising have disappeared in NCL's most recent exercise in corporate greed. I think it's time for me to take a break from NCL. So many passengers I spoke with informed me that Royal Caribbean and even the newer Carnival ships are a much better experience than this NCL Gem cruise. * First of all, ...

First I want to acknowledge there were aspects of this trip that were out of NCLs control- very rough seas, day late to Bermuda, incoming cruise was delayed. That’s where it stops. This cruise was RAMMED. An absolute mess. I do not understand how this boat is allowed to have this capacity. The first day was miserable, hours waiting for the rooms to be ready, my luggage was lost, the bed was ...

Run, run as fast as you can! The service on this ship was pathetic at best. The staff tried as hard as they could. However, I also think the lack of a proper number of staff causes burnout and permeates an "I don't care" attitude. The destination team did not provide the services advertised for Silver Cove, and the overall cruise was not worth the money. There are better experiences for the cost ...

From booking and all the confusion over flights being changed, seats not booked when paid for, poor after booking service where your passed from pillar to post because we booked by phone, although you are all Tui, shop or messenger don’t want to deal with you. Flight fine, transfer fine, cruise leaves a lot to be desired, ship needs a lot of refurbishment, not nearly enough toilets, always out ...

Thanks but no thanks March 2024 So let's have an honest review rather than one designed for your family to see. Staff are very friendly supervisers are lazy and officers give you lip service. Food is a disgrace apart from nonna's restaurant everything everywhere else is like warm slop. Bacon cooked in chunks in the oven so the middle is uncooked in the marketplace, flysheet around drinks ...

Its been 10 years since my last cruise and that was with carnival. We booked a getaway for 3 couples. this was 2 of the couples first cruise ever. we were hoping for a great time, well with that being said. It was not a great or good time. First, i had to get my own luggage out of the hallway. This was 3 hours after being on the boat. wanted to freshen up for the evening after traveling to ...

We chose this cruise because, having reviewed all options it seemed the best fit. We were a group of 9, ages ranging from 1 to 75. The checking was chaos and our group got separated, even though we kept telling them we were all together. We had a wheelchair and a pushchair. We eventually found each other hours later. Our cabins were released reasonably early but our cases arrived many hours ...

Cruise assessment: Ship feels cramped, lots of staterooms, poorly laid out for social settings. No quiet areas except in state room. Smoking in open casino at atrium flowed smoke through whole ship Smoking glassed area wasn’t sealed - pool area was smoky Pools: 3 listed on ship description… One was useable, one was the kiddy paddle pool/slide area The third was private for ...

We choose Ventura for the ports of call. Alas, three were cancelled but the ports we did call at were in the main okay during our 35 night sailing. Never again on Ventura, the food was of poor quality, the service, hit and miss, the entertainment average, I don't think anyone would watch the acts if they appeared at venues other than on a cruise. The cabins, managed to a Travel Lodge standard, ...

Experience on Norwegian Getaway Feb. 6 to 16, 2024 Pros: the bar staff in the Atrium were fantastic. The service was amazing snd the kept us laughing every time. The guests for the most part were very pleasant. CONS: Adult only Hot Tubs were filled with kids the whole cruise. The food at the buffet tasted like refried leftovers from the main dining room either cold or hard and dry. In ...
