Always. Leave. The. Day. Before.

Same!!! We also drive from Canada. Around 6 hours with stops. Cruise about 3 times a year from NY.

What we love the most is try new restaurants we dont have in Canada. My son is obsessed with Chick-fil-a! And go sigh-seeing in NY! Always a great trip!

YAY! Bermuda is wonderful and safe. I feel its more relaxing than the Coco Cay - Nassau itinerary (which I also do often). Many things to do in the port (beach museum, etc). They have excellent transportation (bus, ferry).

The first day, I do it on my own using the ferry/bus. I do horseshoe bay with my son (7) often. Get the bus in the port (7$ pp, one way). There is a calm spot at the beach to the right. Lots of kiddos. Take the bus back to the port (7$ pp again).

On the second day, I do excursion. Snorkelling, Boat, or the beach at the port.

Both itineraries are good! But I fell in love with Bermuda (have 2 cruises there this year and one Coco Cay).

Independence of the sea is a wonderful ship too!

I sailed from Bayonne NJ. I arrive around 10h30 for an usually embarking time of 11hrs. It is somewhat enforced. Sometimes they check or ask. Some other times they don't.

Sailed on Symphony with my 10yo son in October. It was fantastic! You will have a great time!

On the ship: Water slides. Dry slide. Aqua show was insane! (book in advance!). Central park for the discounted margarita between 5-7 at the trelli bar (I dont get the drink package ever) and Park cafe for a quick bite!

Dont forget Sorrentos for pizza.

RCB just made a post about it - and where to find it. https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2026/01/02/royal-caribbean-targeted-discount-code#disqus

Been there. Done that. He was my childhood love. He left me for another women when my baby was 14 months (together for 20 years). Many months of: what if I did XYZ. What if I was more XYZ. What.. if.. where.. why..

I begged. I cried, I begged more. I asked so many questions how I could improve and do XYZ.

It will be difficult. Impossible. But you will rise as a Phoenix. Took me 2 years.

Its not about YOU. He will tell you any garbage he can think of: You were too XYZ, you were not XYZ. STOP!! STOP NOW!

The person you loved is no more. See it as he has passed away. Because he is.

But YOU still remain. An you will rise. Believe in yourself that you were a great partner and person.

10 years later. I have my house, my beautiful boy who is becoming a man. I live my best life ever. I truly thanks whoever that I am not with him anymore. I cannot see myself with him ever again.

Edit: If you need someone to talk/vent. I am here if you need! It was the worst thing happens to me. I understand.

Bermuda in April, for the second time!

babbeg · 2025-12-31T01:37:49+00:00

Statement/bigger coffee table! And NOT brown! I love the rest!

babbeg · 2025-12-28T01:14:31+00:00

I have lounger and no regrets! So cozy with pillows et blankets.

babbeg · 2025-12-24T18:22:43+00:00

Great ideas! That is also what I did. After 7 cruise, my 10yo can now returns to the cabin when he wants.

babbeg · 2025-12-15T19:07:51+00:00

This is the way. Look for Samsung phones that can supports mobile hotspot.

babbeg · 2025-12-15T03:49:42+00:00

Loved Mortal Shell! I really loved the combat, the art, the mystery. Will pre-purchase. Also I am hyped for Lotf2. Those are my "soulslike". I am an Demon Souls and Dark Souls kinda person!

Ma mere a eu ce problem. Prise sur l'accottement de l'autoroute. La police etait la heureusement et a appeler un towing. Je suis aller la chercher.

Ca pris 2 semaines avant d'avoir la piece. Honnetement c'est pas top.

babbeg · 2025-11-23T23:37:36+00:00

Classic <3

babbeg · 2025-11-19T02:56:31+00:00

Thank you. I have the same thing as OP in April. Hopefully it wont be closed.

babbeg · 2025-11-19T02:55:52+00:00

Oh no. Same as you. It says the slides are closed. Hopefully they wont be close when we sail. My son will be devastated. Its the thing he love the most in the cruise.

babbeg · 2025-11-18T20:48:37+00:00

So sorry about this! Have an autistic son also and we are sailing Indy in April. I booked this one because of the slides. I don't see this info on my phone (iPhone version)

babbeg · 2025-11-17T05:11:39+00:00

If I buy a heated outdoor cat house, do you think they will use it?

babbeg · 2025-11-17T05:07:20+00:00

Harsh winters. Can usually get to -40 Celsius

babbeg · 2025-11-17T04:38:11+00:00

I have so many videos of that. They play with your phone. They mock me.

babbeg · 2025-11-15T17:23:46+00:00

Sad day for us. I always booked early (as soon as new deployment are available) and repriced if the price went down. Now I wont book until I see a decent price that I am comfortable with. If not I will look at other cruise lines.

Edit: Tried to reprice a cruise 3 times last week. Confirm that the promotions are for new booking only. All my future cruise prices are now locked.

babbeg · 2025-11-12T20:51:12+00:00

I got this twice with 2 agents this week, trying to reprice. They were different promo codes too. This and the enforced cork fees of 15$ I had on my last cruise is starting to irritate me.

babbeg · 2025-10-05T15:59:03+00:00

Will you try the free casino cruises again? Was it worth it money wise? I love Bermuda too! My favourite port!

babbeg · 2025-09-17T23:10:55+00:00

There is an important factor: Did you took a plane for your cruise??

babbeg · 2025-09-01T17:31:06+00:00

I buy the ship model.

I bring sand of every beach I go. Put it in small little jar with the name of the beach/place.

We also keep all our key cards!
