Thank you for this recap... My husband and I are almost mirroring so much of your trip it seems (we sail 7/15 for our honeymoon)... We are taking the Amtrak from South Station, but on Sunday and heading right to the ship. We chose this sailing since we had already done the Boston sailing as well. I am still planning our return home,

 

Thank you for all the pics and menus and dailies.... you sound like a great couple to sail with!

Prior to the cruise, I had made all of our dinner reservations online. This first evening was the only time that we’d be having dinner in the main dining room, so I picked the Manhattan Room with its live music. The music was great and added to the ambiance of the dining room.

 

Our appetizers were smoked mozzarella raviolis and shrimp cakes.

 

 

Entrees were steak medallions and chicken piccata.

 

 

 

Desserts were lava cake (my absolute favorite) and strawberry shortcake.

 

Overall, the food was good, with the exception of my steak medallions being overcooked. Service was great and it was a well paced meal. At the end of the meal, the server brought over vacation hero cards and asked us for our feedback. It was a little strange but it happened at a few different restaurants so maybe it’s something that they’re starting to do more. Regardless, the service was great so that was what we wrote!

 

Positive comments on Vacation Hero Cards can mean more to the crew, than a cash tip. These comments can lead to promotions for them.

Ladies, thank you so much for sharing your comments, pictures and dailies. We love Bermuda, having cruised there many times from Boston. We plan to do it again next June on the Gem.

Congratulations! We like to have fun and on focus on the positive, especially on vacation!

 

We didn't mind the bus home, and there are more companies that end at South Station. We picked Go Buses because it went to Alewife Station in Cambridge. I would've preferred the train again but I couldn't get the train times to work.

JESSICA TATIBUS - what was the jet ski cost per person?

 

It was $105 per person for 2 single jet skis. Since we went at 8:15am, we received the early bird rate. Regular rate is $125 a person for a single jet ski. You can do doubles, we just like to drive our own!

great report, thank you very much

We enjoyed both sailings but I liked leaving from NYC more because you were in Bermuda Wednesday-Friday. The Boston sailing arrives Sunday afternoon, and there's not a lot going on in Bermuda on Sundays. We also loved the Escape! The Boston cruises have had the Dawn, which we liked but it doesn't have as much to do on sea days. I believe next summer, the Gem will be sailing from Boston but I don't know much about that ship. Of course, Boston was a lot more convenient of a port for us! Either cruise will be amazing!
