We’re sailing 10/22/22 -10/29/22 for our son’s wedding in Bermuda.

We only sailed aft once. We loved it…but always went with cheaper options.

I really wanted to stay on deck 15 with the what looks to be so relaxing Observation Lounge…but all the aft cabins are booked.

I chose the 9th floor next because it’s 1 floor down to be in the middle of everything which will make my husband happy. ☺️🍻 

Has anyone stayed in room 9376 who can tell me how they liked it?

The balcony size, the view, (is it obstructed)?

Thank you in advance!

Based on your recommendations, I’ll switch to another floor if it makes our journey more pleasant.

Thank you, Hockeymom! The mobility scooter is an awesome idea! I would have never thought of that. I really appreciate it.

I booked a 5 hour tour today for one of the days & thought we'd do the dock area & The Clock Tower Mall for a little another day.

I'm so glad to hear The Frog & Onion is awesome!

Thank you again. You've been very helpful.

My husband & I are in our late 40's. We also persuaded my Mom who is 77 to go.

We are so pleased that she is going!

She is 1 year cancer-free as of April 6th of 2017.

She was operated on at The University Of Pennsylvania.

She lives in an in-law apartment at our house.

Every time we ask her to do something she says "when you get to be my age you'll just want to stay home."

I can't begin to imagine what she's been through and how scared and depressed she must feel.

She recently had a common out-patient procedure where she was met with 2 physical therapists who asked what her activity level was. She was honest. She told them she mainly lays in bed & watches tv.

They asked about her meals. My Mom told them my sister (who lives with her) brings them to her. They told her they wanted her to walk more and to start eating meals at the dinner table.

When I mentioned my hub & I cruising to Bermuda & asked if they thought that would be good they said a very hearty "absolutely!"

I asked my Mom if I could call & book her right then. To my amazement she said "yes!" It was better than any and every Christmas I've ever had-even as a little kid!

Anyway-----SO sorry for the long intro-but I want my Mom to see beautiful things. She hadn't been to many places. She gets out of breath easily due to her lack of activity since her cancer diagnosis.

We are bringing a wheelchair for when she gets winded.

We've been watching YouTube videos of Bermuda. She loved the pink sand on Horseshoe Bay. We wouldn't want to stay long, just long enough to take in the beauty & get some photos. She also seemed to like the smaller streets that looked very quaint with shops & the old graveyards.

We have never been to Bermuda & would be so appreciative to any direction or ideas.

She likes to shop, eat, see pretty things-as I said she loved an old graveyard she saw (I don't think it was the naval one.) it was one that was also very old & told exactly how one passed.

It seems as the mall, The Frog & Onion & other things around dockyard would be great.

My two main questions (besides anything else you can recommend) are:

Is the festival enjoyable? It seems to have a lot of color & vendors. We were thinking of reserving a table on a balcony for dinner on Front St where I read is a good spot.

My other question is, do you recommend a taxi/cab driver? I read somewhere of one who took a family for a tour and dropped them at the festival at the end-they then took a ferry back to their cruise ship.

I'm sorry so let's long. I just want to make this the most enjoyable trip for all of us, but especially my Mom.

We are sailing on the NCL Breakaway from 5/7 to 5/14.

Thanks very much in advance for any guidance and tips you have to offer.

For 6/7 to 6/14.

In reading threads I am wondering if I should have went with an aft cabin on deck 12. I read there are obstructions on deck 9.

Any advice greatly appreciated.
