Good to know! I was skipping over most of the NCL shore excursions bc it's hard to justify the cost for my 3 yr olds, but for this one, the kids would be free! 😎😈

You are a doll! Thank you so much for all of your answers - super helpful! I didn't realize our sailing is a random 10 day after all of the week-long trips, I just assumed you guys hit Bahamas too 🤪

@Dorhead1230 we're going on our first cruise with our kids (3 yr old twins!) and in my planning, I came across your post! so i've been sitting here for the last 2 hours 😆 reading all 9 pages, and I'm sure I'll go back and pore through it again, but I have some questions for you if you have a chance! (we don't sail until aug 20) So, I got to your post because I was looking for things to do in Bermuda with kids. We've only been to Bermuda once before pre-kids (a day at church bay park, an NCL sunset cruise, took the ferry to st george's and walked to fort st catherine). In one of your dinner pics, I noticed LM had a tablet (no judgement for us, both my girls have one!) did he need it during dinner every night? Other times? Did you pack crayons, books, snacks? We're from northern NJ so we drive into the city - how late did you guys get there? I won't be platinum until I get off this cruise (booo) so we'll have to wait in the long lines. In the past, I'd say we usually get there by 10:30 (we also like to eat in the MDR for lunch!) Becoming a mom has also made me paranoid and I just keep thinking, what if the parking lot at the pier is full before we get there?? I want to go to horsehoe bay, but not sure which day... the Joy is the only ship in bermuda the first day, but we don't get there til noon - not sure if it'll already be crowded, or if that's a good day for other stuff (aquarium, sight-seeing). RCCL will be there the next day at 1pm, possibly late enough that we could go for the morning and do something else in the afternoon? Not specifically a *you* question, but not being a first time cruiser, I haven't done a lot of planning for this, but I'm seeing people make reservations for the MDR now?? What was your experience getting in? We usually do savor or taste, and part of the reason I love NCL is the freestyle cruising! This is one of the things I'll go back and look at your posts again, but what do you do for Bahamas with your son? We usually hit the local beach down from the pier, probably planning to do the same with our girls? I realize I'm probably just talking to an echo chamber for this, but I'm not a crazy person for bringing 2 3-yr olds on a 10 day cruise, right?? lol
