Thanks for the information on your posts. Very informative. Beaches: Have been to Horseshoe Bay and it was very nice. As our cruise in July is in port 3.5 days what other beaches are recommended. Please note: need a beach with umbrella / chair rentals and not difficult to get to as I have one person with a little mobility issue. Thanks for posting information on the Harbor nights, plan on getting there if the weather cooperates. Any suggestions on what time to arrive? I see on the Bermuda website it begins at 7pm. Thank you

Thanks everyone. BirdTravels thanks for the link to your report. As to waiting to look to book specialty. We just booked the cruise today. I will check what is available now and then check onboard if we need to. Appreciate all the info.

Its been quite a while since I was last on NCL and friends invited us to go on a Bermuda cruise on the Joy next month. They have a balcony room and we have a club balcony with larger balcony option. Questions: *What reservations do we need to make in advance, which have to be done as soon as you board. *I am assuming the specialty restaurants need reservations since we have two included. Last time we were not overjoyed with Le Bistro or Cagney's but its been a while. Was thinking Teppanyaki for one, the other? *Do shows need reservations? If yes, when are they made pre boarding or once onboard? *What is new in the last 8 years that we need to be aware of. We do have the Free at Sea option and I have read the rules and inclusions / exclusions. I do like my pool time and am assuming summer out of NYC pools will be crowded. Any tips / hints here other than getting out there early? Adding that we have sailed quite a bit in the last 8 years, just not with NCL. Thanks for any help provided.
