We bring our own gear also and drive to Boston from PA Have a great time!

The Gem and Pearl go hand and hand. Both Tobacco and Horseshoe are nice. The caves are cool, Gibbs lighthouse. We tend to skip those since we have been there before. For anyone going for the first time I highly recommend doing a 5 hour private island tour the first day, you really get to see a lot. Our plan this time around in Tobacco Bay the first day, HSB the second and they renting a boat for 6 hours from H20 Sports.... https://www.h2osportsbermuda.com We have rented from them in the past. Its a great way to get off the beaten path. The are a 7 minute cab ride from the dockyard

Bermuda is great and very easy. No need for to use the ship excursions for going to the beach and some other things. We love the Gem, probably our favorite ship

Been there a number of times and never had issues taking off water. Took off a 32 ounce bottle in my back pack. When in June are you goin? My wife and I are on the June 28th sailing

Come on now she'll be in the Haven. No crazies there except few nutty passengers Lol

My bet is it will never happen, her medical bills and travel reimbursement will be fully covered. She will be offered a payout in the hundreds of thousands.... maybe a million along with sailing in the Haven once a year for the rest. Time will tell

My company was in a law suit a number of years ago against a company based out of Spain. Long story short it was for a very expensive piece of equipment that failed. We were told by our lawyers and some others unless you are looking to recover 10 of millions of dollars and have many years to kill move on. Had this been a US based company it would have been "Easy" being based in another country makes it extremely difficult

10's of millions??? A lot easier said then done. My guess is being 75 years old she will be offered nice a deal from NCL and she / her family will settle.

Crazy stuff can happen anywhere. Hopefully everyone is OK at the end of the day. I wonder if the woman passenger will get a free cruise.

When we were last there 18 months ago the security line for the Haven was to the right as you look at the river. The actual Haven check in was all the way down near the end on the left side. Been to NYC a bunch of times and I swear each cruise things are moved around

Nice, The Star is similar to the Gem.... What cabin did you get?

One thing I did not like about the aft suite on the Gem (twice) was the amount of soot and sometimes trash that would land on it. On our cruise to Bermuda the room steward was out there every morning washing the deck and chairs down. In June we are going to Bermuda in a forward suite this time

There is nothing like crab cakes from Maryland and Lobster from Maine. Nothing else comes close

My wife and I always bring a carry on and a small backpack, no issues at all

Yes, private beach days on their private beach. Not NCL lifeguards on a Bermuda beach. Do the NCL guards watch only the people from the ship? Do they watch Joe from Bermuda and his family? Dumb idea, be extra careful at Non guarded beaches just like I'm extra careful while renting a boat in Bermuda and swimming in the water knowing no guards are around to save me It was terrible tragedy all around, the man who died lives very close to me

Take the guards from the ship and send them to the beach? Never going to happen

It starts with the Captain. I went to the meet and greet on the GA during our 12 day cruise. The captain was there with a few officers. I remember someone asking about dock runners and time to be onboard etc... The Captain was very blunt and said when we have a port sail time of 5:00pm that means the gangways are pulled at 4:45 and the dock lines are let go between 4:55 and 4:59 and we sail at 5:00pm. He also went on to say something about how they are charged by the number of passenger and by time. If they are in port past their departure time NCL is charged X amount of thousands of dollar for every minute the ship is still there. I have no idea if this is true or not. He did also went on to say the will stay and wait for NCL sponsored excursions and will not stay for a private ones. Every Captain is different, this one was German and if anyone has every traveled in Germany you know the transportation system runs like clockwork

While the ship sailed away with Claudene’s medication, Richard’s eyeglasses and both their spare hearing aid batteries and phone chargers on board. Their is a reason why I carry a small backpack with me whenever we do an excursion for the day. Med's.... check Sunglasses, eyeglass.... check Hearing Aid batteries not needed Phone charger.... check

It's very easy. If Needed you can easily Manually change the time on your iPhone. Your watch will sync to the Phone in a second

A Jewel class ship has been sailing from Boston to Bermuda for years. The Canada cruises probably won't happen until September

Thats nothing, a number of years ago we were going to Bermuda from NYC. We get to the pier, park, bags check, go thru security only to find out we are not going to Bermuda. We are going to Florida and the Bahamas. We made it to Florida for a day in Port Canaveral and that was it. We were supposed to go to Nassau, nope.... someone screwed up and they had too many ships. We were also suppose to stop at GSC... nope, too windy. So we had a very slow 3 day cruise back. Lots of very angry people. Granted we had a hurricane, however two other cruise line made it to Bermuda without any problems and had perfect weather. We got $50 per cabin OBC

Never, our luggage has always arrived between 6-8pm. We know to take our carry on's

Thanks Dave I ended up buying this one https://amzn.to/4be2rqP I have a few suction cup one's. I want to shoot either from the railing or just below it. I spent 30 minutes looking at railing photo's Lol. I do have a large Joby flexible one that I'll bring also

I hope they don't remove them. On our 12 day cruise it work great for putting wet bathing suites and gear

Anyone using a magnetic camera mount for an action type camera? I plan to do a bunch of time lapse from out forward facing cabin.
