I can't think of one. Our guy who we used 13 years ago is retired. I would just google it. Most of them are private operators. If they are not booked they are waiting at the pier. You would laugh at the amount of stuff I carry. This time around it will be my MBP, two action cameras, underwater scooter, drone, and all the crap that goes along with that. We also take snorkeling gear and two very small very light weight folding beach chairs.

Thanks.... Check out H20 Sports https://www.h2osportsbermuda.com You can rent a kayak and paddle to these small islands, they all have beaches. They are a neat place to go..... https://www.google.com/maps/@32.3110058,-64.8631178,885m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu

I always suggest to people going to Bermuda for the first time is the first day book a private 5-6 hour tour. Don't go thru NCL, plenty of private companies to use. Doing a 5-6 hour tour gives you a great way to see a lot of the island. Day two and three you can hit the beaches

Sort of..... We were suppose to stop in Bar Harbor on the Gem on July 4th. We were really looking forward to it. Three weeks ago we got an email from NCL stating we would be stopping in Portland instead. NCL never said why. I did a little research and found out our cruise was Never supposed to stop in Bar Harbor..... this coming from the Harbor Master of Bar Harbor. The pier used for tenders in closed because they are using it for fireworks. What pisses me off is NCL had to know about this. As far back a February our cruise was not on the schedule to stop there.... Of course we didn't get notified until After Final Payment. Had me know we would have gone on another date, Bar Harbor is Awesome..... Portland not so much

My wife and I love the Jewel class ships and love the Gem. Will be sailing her in 45 days for the 4th time. The Haven is small and not worth it to us, however the Suites are just as nice with almost all the same perks. The Gem doesn't have go carts, water slides or a lot of other things the larger ships do.... and thats OK with us. We have always found service and food very good across all the NCL ships

You are 100% correct. Sailed with NCL over a dozen times we have a cruise coming up in 6 weeks. Our last cruise I spent 30 minutes trying to upload our photos. These same photos have been used for our passports and other things. FINALLY got them to upload, get to the pier for check in and we are told we need to retake your photos.... LOL.... This next cruise coming up I'm going to skip the photos's (if that is possible). Another thing I get annoyed at is online and the App always show I have a new email.... I don't and their is no way to get rid of it

Have a great time in the Haven and in Bermuda. Will be leaving for Bermuda about two weeks after you out of Boston. If you are looking for things to do while in Bermuda and are a little adventurous let me know. Their are a number of small islands you can kayak to just off the mainland of Bermuda within a 8 minute cab ride of the dockyard. I'm still debating if I'm going to do a live review on the Gem. Two things I will do is a video tour of the Thermal Spa and our Forward cabin. I've looked all over YT and they only have a few not great videos

Nice! What are you using? I use a GoPro with various mounts depending where on cabin is. I shoot in video mode, 4K one shot every two seconds

Have a great cruise, will be in Bermuda in 6 weeks

IF everything goes on time we have been off the ship or close to getting off at the set time. The ship also needs to be cleared, sometimes that is done in minutes, sometimes its lot of minutes

Just one more thing "America" doesn't make.... a 4 million dollar digital press.

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
