Hello Warrior,
We just booked our cruise to Bermuda yesterday. We have been to Bermuda before but on Celebrity and we loved it so much that we are going again.
Here are some basic tips:
1- pack a smaill bag to bring with you onboard with some toiletries and a change of clothes. Even though they make every effort to deliver your suitcases on time sometimes they will get there late.
2- Since this is a seven day cruise - there will be do formal evenings. If that is not your scene you don't have to get dressed up but you will not be able to eat at the main restaurant.
3- Tipping is not included and you can either add it to your room charges or give them cash. Your cabin steward will leave envelopes in you cabin. Tips are given on the last night of the cruise.
4- There is a muster drill that is mandatory and it will take about 30 minutes on the first day. Once this is over you don't have to worry about it.
5- If you want to book a spa treatment or a specialty restaurants - try to do this ASAP. They book up fast. They offer tours of the spa on the first day and you can book then or by phone. For specialty restaurant reservations you can go to the restaurant and make your reservations or you can call. There is a charge for the specialty restuarants about $20 per person but it is worth it.
6 - If you asked for early or late sitting for dinner and you did not get what you asked for - go see to the main restaurant and the maitrede will be there or a sign will be posted where he will be located. If you ask nicely they will make every effort t switch you to the time that you want.
If you need any more info let me know.
Just remember to relax and enjoy the cruise
