A Cruise to Bermuda

Not too long ago we decided to go on our first family cruise. We did a little bit of price comparison and compared that to our available funds. What we found to be the best option for our family of five was a cruise to Bermuda from New York with Norwegian Cruises. There is a set fee for the first and second person and then a discounted rate (which was better than the other cruise lines) for the third person and up. We took care of all of the paperwork online so we had very little to do once we arrived at the cruise terminal.

Once on the ship we were able to visit our rooms and roam around the ship. This gives the staff time to sort out all of the luggage and get it to the staterooms of all the guests. In our room we met our Cabin Attendant, Anthony. He was the most friendly and helpful person and also paid extra attention to my children. He was a Godsend the entire week we were onboard! I would like to point out too though, the entire staff on the ship were great.

On the ship, there were activities for the children, a casino for the adults, swimming pools, a running track, gift shops and so much more! There were wonderful restaurants and buffets and plenty of shows. We took free salsa lessons, played staff-run games by the pool, watched other guests sing karaoke and also saw a magic show.

Every night while we were at dinner, our beds had been turned down and there was a schedule of events for the next day. You could also pre-book excursions at any time before docking at the island.
