This was my third trip to Bermuda on NCL and it was a very positive experience. I selected
NCL for all three trips due to the availability of
dedicated non-smoking cabins. Although I enjoyed the design and layout of NCL's previous
ship on the Bermuda run, the Norwegian Dream, I
would not hesitate to sail on the Norwegian Crown again.
Cabin size was more than adequate. I sailed with my wife and two seventeen year old girls;
there was plenty of dresser, closet, and bathroom
shelf space for all. The availability of a bathtub was a big plus for the women; shaving
legs was easier to manage in the tub than in a shower
stall. Our chief complaint regarding the cabin was that we could hear what was going on in
the cabin next to us. Cabin door locks on the ship still
require standard keys; I would have been much more comfortable if the newer card access
system had been in use. Our cabin steward was very
friendly and responsive.
Having an on-board movie theater was great; although we had excellent weather throughout
our entire trip, we still used the theater three
times. Entertainment was excellent; a wide variety of music and comedy acts throughout the
seven day trip. The cruise staff was very friendly.
Absolutely every staff member said hello to us when we passed them in a hall or on deck.
I would rate the Norwegian Crown's Food and dining room service as nothing more than
adequate. Service was not uniform; significant delays in
serving main courses were common. Food was tasty but wasn't anything to write home about.
The variety of selections at the luncheon buffet
was poor. Midnight buffet fare was good.
If your primary concern when sailing to Bermuda is cabin size and cabin amenities, this is
the ship for you.
