Loving all the pics!! Never been to Bermuda but it looks gorgeous. Your taking pictures reminds me of our first cruise, I took pics every day of our towel animal and was so excited to see what cute little guy was waiting on me at the end of the day. So glad you guys could get away and decompress and where better than the beach!!!

Enjoyed reading and seeing your cruise journey.....fun in the sun woo hoo!
It was a gorgeous and clean island. If you end up liking cruising, it would be SO easy for you to take one from NYC. :)Quote:

Back on the ship we played mini golf, relaxed more on the balcony, and that night's dinner was Teppanyaki (I didn't take any pictures but it was FANTASTIC and worth the up charge for specialty dining). pictures to follow...

Also, Adam got hooked on these stupid coin pushers, even had an audience watching him at one point since he was the only player not feeding the machine and actually getting tons of coins to drop. HHH!
I would bring him a drink and he’d keep playing and leave me alone to gamble!

Started with a $20. Low rolling was fun but so many times wished I was playing bigger.

It looks like you guys had a perfect trip. Thanks for the great pics and TR!

Wishing we were there right now! What a fun, relaxing trip. Is there a certain time you have to be back on the boat? Does it stay docked at the same place and you treat it like a hotel room?
Wow that looks like an amazing much needed getaway love all your pictures :)

Really liked this TR. You 2 had a great time. Makes me re-think about cruising.
Me too I always thought if you couldn't fish off a boat it wasn't fun but this makes me rethink that.Quote:

Great report, you have inspired me to pick up one of those cruise certs for the first time this weekend from Caesars.
Me and wife get one each and we can combine them to get a mini suite I think.
I am thinking of a december cruise as well, so who knows we might be on the same ship!

Thanks Charlie! It was beautiful, and I don't think I'll wait 40 years to go back, hhh!Quote:

Day 7: at sea day
Day 8: arrive at NYC and go home.
Our last day at sea we soaked up some more sun on the sun deck, hung out in the hot tub when the clouds rolled in, and then finally started packing a bit. That night after dinner we hit the casino for one last time and for some stupid reason, thought it was a great idea to play until 3 am! After a nap, we walked off the ship at 8 am and were through customs and getting picked up at 9 am. Easy end to the trip! Now for some final reviews...
Casino: They had A TON of new slots, slots we've never seen, and we had fun there. We didn't go every day, and some days were there only 20 mins or so. We felt certain games were much tighter (wonder 4 jackpots, buffalo gold) than land based casinos while others were much looser (River Dragons, Quick Hits). Overall combined for the trip, we lost only $200 the entire time, yay!
Shows: I forgot to mention the actual SHOWS on the ship. Choir of Man (despite the terrible title) was AWESOME! I can't even explain how fun this show is and if you are on an NCL ship with this show, GO SEE IT!
After Midnight: The dancing and singing was great and the cheeky songs like, "Don't advertise your man" about a woman who steals another woman's man after hearing how great he was from her made us giggle. Probably some of the most talented performers of any ship we've been on.
Some comedy magician: The fact that we don't know his name probably says something about this performance. it was ok.
Howl at the Moon: How do you not love a dueling piano show, especially one that plays "Downeaster Alexa" by Billy Joel, and "Thank you" from Moana in the same set!
I'll do food and drink in a separate post tonight with some menu and food pics. :)
Also, if anyone has any questions, feel free to either PM me or ask here.
In all fairness my ship docked there like 6 times . so i wasn't in any rush to go back . but now thats past lolQuote:

We are actually in the works of booking on the Encore from NY to Bermuda next May to celebrate our 25th anniversary. It will be our 3rd cruise to Bermuda in 4 years so you know we love the island. I have another beach location I’ve been wanting to try and this will be our first time there without the kids! Yay!
Loved your pics and waiting to hear your thoughts about the food. I did look into the Summit and Aqua Class but we will be going on the Encore for next to nothing through Casinos at Sea so it’s hard to pass up.

I enjoyed reading your report and all the pictures- thank you for sharing. I love a good beach, never made it to Bermuda yet. Magen’s Bay is my favorite beach in St.Thomas if you ever cruise there.
