Yes I will try to remember!

I haven’t seen anything officially but according to google, it was closed last year from January to June for several reasons. I am not worried about it at this point as most restrictions seem to have eased. I can update this after my April cruise!

This is from our cruise on the bliss March 2020. Might have totally changed since then but not sure if anyone has newer photos. I also can’t remember if this was the whole menu or just the draft beers

Thank you….will definitely check this out!!

Thank you! Our ship docks at 12:30 the first day so my thought was to do the museum and dockyard that first day. We then have two full days and leave very early the following day. I don’t know much how I feel about the captivity thing. I have heard good things about this location but still on the fence.

Hello, we’ll be in Bermuda in April and I’m trying to decide which dolphin experience to schedule. They have an $18 option which just allows entry and viewing from the sidelines. Any interaction with the dolphins increases the cost by a lot. My daughter is 6 and I think she’d think it’s fun but not sure if it’s worth $65 for 10min with the dolphins. Has anyone done these interactions either just viewing or in the water and can comment?

We have two reservations made for our upcoming cruise in the specialty restaurants…Moderno and Teppanyaki. I think our free at sea promo gives the two adults a free meal there but our child would be a La carte? Do they have a separate kids menu or is it one menu for everyone? she is so excited to wear her “fancy” dresses on the cruise! She’ll likely be better dressed than most adults haha 😉

Yes absolutely. We are 15min from Boston on a good day (Friday mornings typically have minimal traffic) so we could be on the ship within an hour.

Thanks all! We decided on the Pearl simply because it was out of Boston and on a limited school vacation timetable, it was just easier. I think we’ll plan to see the Prima or Viva in the future, maybe when she goes to Italy! By the our girl will be older and maybe able to enjoy the slides and racecars. Appreciate the input and the reviews 🙂

Can someone who has sailed recently on the Pearl confirm the kids club is open? I had been reading through reviews and heard it was closed but the post was from last spring so might have just been pandemic related. My daughter is 6 so kids club is a huge priority! Thanks 🙂

Thanks to all for your input. I wish the Boston cruise embarked on a Saturday but am working on getting the extra day off from work and hoping that will work for us. We’ve sailed on the Jade and Star so I think the smaller size of the Pearl will be good for us too. Someone mentioned in one forum that the kids club was closed on the Pearl but hard to tell if they was a Covid thing. I’m hoping that is not an issue for us.

Good morning, we are a family of 3 thinking of sailing on a Bermuda cruise over April school vacation. Child is 6, adults are late 30’s/early 40’s. Our last cruise was pre-Covid on the Bliss out of nyc. I’m trying to decide between the April 14 out of Boston or the April 16 out of NYC is a better option. It’s the exact same itinerary. Price is within a few hundred (the train from Boston to NY would add a few hours). The big difference is the ship: Pearl vs Prima. There aren’t a ton of reviews on the Prima as it’s so new but I was hoping it’d be nicer for our daughter especially with 3 sea days. Getting to/from NY is not a problem as there’s always fun things to do there. Any insight from experienced cruisers who have seen these ships? I also remember the nyc terminal being really hectic with long lines. Not sure if Boston’s is much better though!
