How is the Norwegian cruise line?

Has anyone been on a Norwegian cruise line cruise to bermuda? Any tips and how much are the drinks?

• Answer:

  Avoid the Bermuda bus tour. It's a real waste of time. Five hours in a mass transportation (read uncomfortable) bus, only two stops (one of them a 10 min bathroom stop with nothing else to do) and no real opportunity to take any picture since you always sit on the damn bus. I would recommend the restless catamaran excursion, which offers a good opportunity for snorkeling and the dolphin encounter, even though it's a quite pricey. Also, there's a small beach/snorkeling park in King's Wharf, where the ship will be docked. Don't know the price but you might want to check it out. A favorite beach seems to be Horseshoe Bay. NCL organizes transfers to the bay, as one of their shore excursions. As for drinks, beers at around $4.50-5.00. Cocktails are anywhere between $7-10. A bottle of wine is $25-$100. If you drink a lot of soda, you can buy a soda sticker or unlimited fountain drinks; $47 for 7-day cruise. Please note there is an 18% gratuity that will be added to all these prices. There are discounts on cocktails-of-the-day and you can also buy a bucket of beer for a decent price. Also be aware that Bermuda is very expensive, so a shopping spree is out of question. A good meal for two goes in the $150 range quite easily. A good restaurant if you like fish is the Lobster Pot in Hamilton. It's casual and the food is just great. Have a good time!
