Creator's Key Takeaways

We're back from a cruise. We are Jill and Jerry, the Cruising Connects, and today we are going to talk about our latest cruise to Bermuda, how it was impacted by a hurricane, and how we managed to survive it all.

We were told that we would be staying in Brooklyn in New York City for three nights. That's right. So, we were not leaving that day, that they were not going to chance it with the hurricane.

We really felt that Princess treated us right and um we were on the ship and we had a fabulous three times in New Three days in New York and you know we had a fabulous rest of the cruise.

The Island Princess is a gem, I think, in the Princess fleet that I would tell anybody, you know, what's a Princess ship I need to go on? I'd be pointing in that direction.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Take seasickness medication before you get seasick, not after.
Book a night before your cruise departure to buffer against flight problems.
Ask locals for help in Bermuda; they are very friendly and helpful.

YouTube Video Description

We dive into all the details from our recent Bermuda and Caribbean adventure that definitely didn't go according to plan! We'll share the real story of how a hurricane completely flipped our itinerary upside down, left us stuck at the port in NYC longer than expected, and turned what was supposed to be a relaxing cruise into quite the adventure. We'll tell you how we finally made it to Bermuda (and absolutely fell in love with it), plus why we think the Island Princess might just have stolen our hearts as a new favorite ship. We've got stories, laughs, and plenty of cruise wisdom to share from this unforgettable voyage! Hi, we are Jill and Jerry, and we invite you to subscribe to our channel. We have cruised on ten different cruise lines for over twenty years now, and we look forward to sharing our experiences with you.
