I understand, but I am surprised the group is taking HAL which is generally older passengers who want to relax. I am 56 and certainly understand that many people do enjoy the party atmosphere, however it should not impact others on the ship, and hopefully it will not. Bermuda is a very conservative island, so it is possible the group going is not the wild crazy fans that I tend to,and possibly wrongly so, associate with large gatherings of sports fans

You mentioned a private party poolside and some evening events as well as activities in the theater. This of course means that others can not use those facilities. I feel cruise lines should tell others when a larger group is booked for one particular sailing so the passengers have the option of booking another date.

Who knows maybe I will enjoy the group. Either way, I am sure we will all have a great time. We have not been to Bermuda in a long time, since we did not want to dock in Kings Wharf. We were glad to see they are back on Front street,

We are on the June 27th Veendam Bermuda cruise, We looked forward to a nice relaxed cruise.

I see that there are 300 Eagles fans on the ship. The ship is not that large, and that means noise, obnoxious fans, lots of drunk passengers (sorry I am stereotyping), and so on. My Mom who is in great shape but is 89 years old will be thrilled we booked this sailing as are my wife and I. None of us are sports fans, and this could prove to be an awful experience. I hope not.

I guess I am glad we were forewarned. I hope that everything on the ship is not geared to Eagles fans, and so on.

We had two cabins aft facing on deck six. After seeing the pictures and realizing how much deck was behind us we switched to two "regular JS cabins on deck 9.

The cruise consultant from RCCL said deck six aft have small balconies and poor visibility, and she could not understand why they suggested them to us months ago when we booked. Deck seven would have been Ok but that is no longer an option.

At any rate, as I said glad I saw the pictures prior to seeing the cabins in person.
