This cruise was to celebrate a wedding anniversary. We live near Boston so no flying was involved. College age / teenage kids were left at home, previous two cruises (on Carnival) included the kids. Getting on and off the ship was quick and easy, parking near the cruise terminal is very convenient.
We stayed in a balcony cabin mid ship on deck 10. The room was decent size with adequate room ...
Introduction
My mother and I are avid cruisers (but really, that’s all of us here). We know that the only remedy for being away from cruise ships is to go on more. When Mom decided that she needed a getaway sometime this year, I went hunting for cruise options that fit her schedule. We settled on a 7-day cruise to Bermuda (round-trip from Boston), a place neither of us has been. We also picked ...
We chose this cruise because we live near Boston and have never been to Bermuda. I originally booked an ocean view room, but took advantage of the upgrade bidding process and was upgraded to a balcony room for $300 more (a deal).
Embarkation: Couldn't have been smoother. We arrived via a taxi from South Station ($12 fare - about 10 minutes with average traffic), around 11:00 AM and dropped ...
Chose this cruise for timing and ease of access to Boston. Have been on Holland America ships and QM2. Was disappointed in everything except service. Got a great deal for suite with butler - first time with this. Suite was beautiful and came with lots of perks. Our butler and room steward were outstanding. Pool was too small, too crowded, and had no shallow end. Lots of drinking in the pool. ...
Ship was chosen to coincide with our anniversary. Very Old ship and even with 6' swells we were rocking and rolling. Moved very slowly to give us two full days going and two full days returning. Would have liked to have had more time in Bermuda. Staff tried to make trip as pleasant as possible. Food in specialty restaurant was overcooked and very bland. Buffet had large variety and most passengers ...
I did the Boston cruise 10 yrs ago on another Norwegian ship and thought its time to go back to Bermuda!
My travel was booked by my trusted travel agent who got us a balcony cabin on deck 9. We were later upgraded to a better balcony on deck nine for free by my travel agent. Our adult sons had a inside on deck 9 and it was their first cruise.
From parking in Boston to embarking on our ...
We loved Bermuda. Leaving from Boston is a breeze. We have traveled on the Dawn many times.
Getting on the ship was so easy. We arrive at Black Falcon at 11;30. We were on the ship by noon.
We choose to go to the buffet for lunch. The buffet is OK. The area is very clean. The food is OK. It is not fabulous, but it is not awful. I usually get a salad with fruit. So the buffet is ...
We liked that the trip originated in Boston. We had never been to Bermuda, and thought it was a great time to try.
My husband, who has a nut allergy, was well taken care of in all of the restaurants except Aqua, where the waiter did not understand us. The only problem with all of the restaurants is that none of the servers speak English. When someone has a potential life threatening allergy, ...
dear travelers,
A little over a month ago I left Boston on the Norwegian Dawn headed to Bermuda. At the beginning everything seemed to be exactly what we had hoped for. The staff was friendly, the check in process was smooth. These things were short lived. It was myself and two other passengers traveling in one oceanfront cabin. The room size was adequate for the three of us and house keeping ...
This was a family vacation long overdue. We had a great time. There were fourteen of us. Everything about the cruise was memorable. From the first day onboard to our last day. We had balcony cabins and its the only way to cruise. I've had balconys before but this was the first time for our other travelers. They said they were spoiled and would never cruise unless in a balcony. Loved Bermuda. The ...
