TheCruisingQueen Posted January 7, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I am looking at cruises to Bermuda for August of 2015, and am having trouble deciding whether to book the Liberty of the Seas or NCL Breakaway. Any ideas or thoughts on which one is better? Previously have sailed on both lines, which I do both love, although the Liberty runs on 5 nights while the Breakaway runs on 7 nights to Bermuda. Both are same pricing. If someone could let me know which one is best, please do!

iheartbda Posted January 7, 2015 #2 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Have sailed both lines to Bermuda. IMO, 5 days is not long enough so I would go with the 7 days and consider that one the best.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LBumb Posted January 7, 2015 #3 Share Posted January 7, 2015 even though i love Liberty this is easy, seven days on Breakaway. Bermuda is awesome. great golf courses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCruisingQueen Posted January 7, 2015 Author #5 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I'd look at the celebrity summit as well Steve I am sailing on the Eclipse in March and have sailed on previously on three other Celebrity ships. I am looking to return to either RCCL or NCL again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCruisingQueen Posted January 7, 2015 Author #6 Share Posted January 7, 2015 The Grandeur was also an option, however, even with revitalisations, I was disappointed with the Radiance of the Seas when I sailed her to Hawaii this past year. I loved the Allure, and the Liberty comes as a close second to it. I am just looking for a short little getaway, both ships offer three days in Bermuda, however Liberty's sea days are only two compared to the 4 on NCL. Tough decisions!

debshomespun Posted January 7, 2015 #7 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I would go on NCL, since it is 7 days. More time away is always a good thing! The Liberty is a great ship, have not been on the Breakaway, but it looks like a great choice. We have done several cruises on NCL, and they have a nice product. We prefer RCL only because we are D+ and love the benefits we get. Even so, for this situation, I would go Breakaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCC retired Posted January 7, 2015 #9 Share Posted January 7, 2015 5 days tooooo short for a Bermuda Cruise when 7 day Bermuda Cruises are available . Bermuda is unlike those Caribbean islands that you may have visited . A upscale island with nobody selling you beads on the beach .

tinkandpan Posted January 7, 2015 #10 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Two years ago we did the breakaway to Bermuda. Last year the 5 day explorer. I have to say I much preferred my rcl experience to the breakaway. It's a very crowded ship and there are a ton of upcharges ( of course you don't have to partake). But just keep that in mind with pricing. The one thing I really liked about the breakaway as opposed to explorer is one day we decided to just stay on board and utilize the ship facilities. On breakaway everything was open and my kids had full reign. On explorer during port many activities close or have limited hours Bermuda us fantastic- you can easily find things to do for the extra day in Bermuda or just stay on board the breakaway. Either way it's a win This year we are taking the liberty to Bermuda for 5 days. It's just easy for us not to fly and leZvd from Nyc area Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSLeesburg Posted January 7, 2015 #11 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Why not take 7 day to Bermuda on Grandeur out of Baltimore? Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdarch Posted January 10, 2015 #12 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Ok so when we first started cruising to Bermuda I said...no way am I doing a 5 day cruise to Bermuda..too short..too long of a wait for your vacation to have it be 5 days...As you can see we've cruised several lines and I loved all my cruises to Bermuda...last summer we went on the Summit for the 7 day and do to medical reasons my dh decided we needed to go again...so since we had only been there 4 weeks earlier we decided on the Explorer because we always wanted to try Royal Caribbean so perfect timing....We LOVED Royal Carribean...We took a lot of time discussing our cruise this coming June and you'll see we picked the 5 day aboard Liberty of the Seas....

RHilla619 Posted January 10, 2015 #13 Share Posted January 10, 2015 No knock on RCI, but if the price point is the same take the 7nighter. No brainer IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
