It would be great to see the schedule of activities each day to help in the planning process. Sorry… been tossing them. I saw them in another thread though.

We will not be there until April 2023 😢. I remember several years back in May it was very cold. Being from New England got use to it quickly but deciding if we should bother with snorkel equipment. Thanks for this post your right very little about the Pearl. We’re at Clearwater Beach on an excursion right now and someone said the water is about 74. Not sure but it felt good. Not quite Caribbean, but we’re in a sheltered area near St George so no waves and pretty deserted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would have been fine in Indigo. That’s good to know! Thanks! Haven’t tried there yet. We have reservations at Teppanyaki (sp?) tomorrow night. I thought it would be nice since we’ll be sad leaving Bermuda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare GeezerCouple Posted May 30, 2022 #30 Share Posted May 30, 2022 The water is 79-80 already in May? That's quite a nice surprise. What is the air temperature? We try to go to Bermuda (cruise or air) in late August or early September, to give the water time to heat up. GC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix1181 Posted May 30, 2022 #32 Share Posted May 30, 2022 How was checking in at Black Falcon? Were they enforcing arrival times? The last time we cruised from Boston, they were very strict about arrival times and I'm trying to co-ordinate a family group coming from different locations. Any information you can provide will be greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any information you can provide will be greatly appreciated! We had a 10:00-10:30am check in time and no one asked us for verification. We were in group “5” waiting to board the ship. I think they started around 11:30am. It was pretty well organized. We showed verification of all Covid testing/vax and the Bermuda Travel Authorization on the ground level, and then up one level for security and main check in… got cabin keys and then waited… and waited a little more. Groups started moving around 11:30am, or so. Summer Palace dining was deserted for lunch! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umpisoccer Posted May 31, 2022 #45 Share Posted May 31, 2022 I was wondering if you can eat an early breakfast (6 am) at O'Sheehans or do you have to wait until 7 or 8 am? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1025cruise Posted May 31, 2022 #46 Share Posted May 31, 2022 I had the thermal suite on my cruise in April. So worth it to have a quiet, indoor place to lounge. Just booked this cruise again for the end of June, and booked the thermal suite again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren’t usually NCL cruisers but haven’t found anything we didn’t enjoy on this trip. It’s weird that no one is trying to take our photo everywhere or upsell us in restaurants… It’s nicely chill. Just woke from a hard core nap in the Thermal Spa, as we’re about to depart Bermuda. 🙂 On this last day, we decided to hop the 9:30 ferry to Hamilton, did some whirlwind shopping and came back on the 11:45am. It worked perfectly and got back in time for nice lunch. This trip we didn’t get to poke around the Dockyard, but still feel like we got a great flavor of the island.
