What Creators Are Saying

Selected quotes from our creator panel.

The Good

The service in the Ascent I think is probably the best service all around that we've received on the ship.

🥉KnowledgeableOurSecondJourney

This is easily one of the most beautiful sunsets we've experienced during a cruise vacation.

🥉KnowledgeableOurSecondJourney

This is easily one of the most beautiful sunsets we've experienced during a cruise vacation.

🥉KnowledgeableOurSecondJourney

They were and we had front row seats so we could see everything. There wasn't a mistake There wasn't a movie They were amazing.

🥉KnowledgeableOurSecondJourney

It was It was a truly amazing performance.

🥉KnowledgeableOurSecondJourney
The Watch-outs

the coffee in the dining rooms were was not good it was awful the worst coffee we've had

🥉KnowledgeableOurSecondJourney

The food wasn't as good came out cold. The server gave us a bit of an attitude. I wouldn't recommend that.

🥉KnowledgeableOurSecondJourney

The wine tasting was not at a winery. It was just basically at a wine bar in view of the ship.

🥉KnowledgeableOurSecondJourney

You'll hear a lot of noise. Again, very annoying, but also you only hear that for maybe a little while every day.

🥉KnowledgeableOurSecondJourney

We think picky eaters, especially kids, might struggle with the food here. Bottom line, the food just didn't match the price

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for OurSecondJourney.

  1. Use Bermuda's ferry and bus system to explore beyond the cruise port as it is easy, affordable, and fun.

  2. Head to the AquaDome Market instead of the Windjammer on embarkation day to avoid crowds.

  3. Choose a backyard barbecue if your priority is family tradition and grilling, but choose a cruise if you want a stress-free, relaxing experience.

  4. Use onboard credit or military discounts to improve the value of the excursion.

  5. If you have the drink package, don't worry if a drink isn't perfect; you can simply ask for another one.

  6. Hand off luggage to porters located directly in front of the ship before parking to avoid dragging bags.

  7. Pre-pay for parking as you enter the lot.

  8. Note that the parking lot is an uncovered surface lot.
