We took Song of America twice in the last two years -1996 and 1997, both times to Bermuda. The ship is showing its age a little - could use
a facelift, but that is the only negative point. We had a great time both trips and would not hesitate to go back again. Our teenage son had an
incredible time both cruises. He hooked up with the other teens the first night out and the youth staff really kept them occupied. They had
something to do at all times. It was a perfect family vacation for us. Time for my wife and I to spend some time together and some real
quality time as a family.

The food was excellent, and you could get up in the morning and eat your way to midnight if you were so inclined. The dining room service
was better than excellent. Our waiter and assistant waiter couldn't do enough for us.

The cruise director, John Blair, was great. We would sail with him anytime.

Shore excursions were a little pricey, but still a decent value. Our favorites were the Helmet diving, where you put an old fashioned bell
helmet on your head and go walking along the ocean bottom (and I don't swim!)' and the cruise to Hawkins Island. My son also enjoyed
parasailing in Hamilton, although we had to make those reservations ourselves.

Overall, we love the Song of America and RCCL. They have got us hooked on cruising!
