Best Cruise line for Bermuda?

[Pamela W]

Dear CC Members,

We are thinking about going on a cruise to Bermuda in July 2006. We have been on the Celebrity and HAL ships and prefer Celebrity. However, their ships to Bermuda have no verandas. Looks like RCCL has cruises to Bermuda also and they are about $500 less per person. Their ships also have veranda cabins. Any opinion? Celebrity leaves from Port Liberty, NJ and RCCL from Philadelphia. Any preference?

We prefer Celebrity as well, and I always say you get what you pay for, the Food and Service alone on Celebrity is worth the extra. When available we always get a veranda however when going to Bermuda since you spend 4 days in port and only a 1 1/2 days at sea each way we never felt it to be a necessity.

We usually have a balcony on our cruises. Went on Zenith to Bermuda in Sept. & I have to say, did not miss it. Zenith is a great ship! Food & service more than make up for lack of balcony.
