How is the weather this week ?

It’s been good. We have been very happy. Sunny but windy in some spots. The sun feels hot but the water is around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

Love the Swizzle Inn!!

 

Do you know which Swizzle Inn you went to?  The original?  Or South Shore?

I had heard a rumor, that one of them closed, but cannot find any information about it.

The original. It’s the best imo.

Silly question -- do they let people climb up the lighthouse?  (That's something I like to do, but a lot of lighthouses won't let you, for legitimate reasons.)

Yes. It costs $2:50 pp. it’s a lot of steps…

ugh.....Haven guest have their own hot tubs, bar and restaurtant. I don't see anyone complaining about that.  The point is....if Haven guest had their own theater and shows in that theater it would be understood that it's a perk included in their high price, just like getting lobster in their restaurants "free" when the rest of us have an upcharge.  ( no complaints )... 

Why is this still a topic of discussion? Haven on the Prima does not have priority seating in Syds.  According to our concierge NCL stopped it because at first gen pops were complaining that Haveners took some of the best seats. They  then limited Haven seating to 20 Haven pax which cause Haveners to complain because not everyone got the special seating. 🙄 Headquarters shut it all down. It’s now first come first serve. Unless you can convince someone to stand in line for you it is what it is rn,

On a happy not we had a funday and night! Our catamaran sail was cancelled but we ran into some great people from Long Island at the Haven bar who told us about a great new restaurant called the Sunken Harbor Club. My DH pulled his magic and got us rezies at 7 PM. This place was awesome!! Best duck I’ve ever had! The Tiki drinks were unreal too! Not cheap but worth it imo!

 

Menu:

The Cane Pillar. Soooo goood!

 

The White Zombie: too strong for Mr but DH loved it.

 

 

The Sunken Swizzle;

Good but I like the swizzle inn one better.

Agree, This is not the place for what is becoming a recurrent rant, I mean discussion. Back to your great review!

If I ever stumbled upon this gem I don't know if I would leave. Looks like your own private oasis. Are those stairs carved into the mountain across the way?

Yes! People actually cliff dive in places. I’d never make it up those stairs!😂

[HBCcruiser]

Have I mentioned that WiFi on this ship sucks at times? Even the premium one. NCL needs to contract with StarLink. The WiFi on the Royal Navigator was much better imo.

I agree...however there are those here, like me, who DID NOT know that NCL changed the rules here. So it may be redundant, but many are under different impressions of what is or is not at this point. I dont realyl see the harm in discussing it. We have the option to scroll on by.

Hmm...because I, as well as others,  didn't KNOW THIS.  Now that I do I won't discuss it anymore.

Day 6. Bermuda 

 

 

 

 

[HBCcruiser]

Strawberry Margarita- breakfast of champions.😂

 

[HBCcruiser]

Today we are just going to walk around the Dockyard and grab fish n chips at the Fron and Onion. We have a sunny day but I can see some clouds moving in. 

[HBCcruiser]

My view rn:

 

[HBCcruiser]

Waiting for sailaway and watching from our deck. They called for 2 pax. 
 

 

 

 

 

[HBCcruiser]

Good day walking around. We had fish and chips at the Frog and onion before boarding and saying goodbye to Bermuda… until July when we return on the Vision OTS.

Looks like you had a great stay.  Thank you for your live report!

Where is that mini-golf course?  I remember seeing the sign for it last time we were there, but never seemed to find it.  Knowing me, I was probably standing on it and didn't realize it.  LOL

Enjoy the rest of your cruise!

Enter Snorkel Park in the Dockyard but turn left after you enter instead of right. Follow the green and red path. You’ll run right into it!

We had a few at the Haven Bar before heading up to Palimar for dinner. I had the mushroom tartar which was a 10/10 forks and the Dover sole also a 10/10.

The ship is REALLY Rocking tonight!!

Thank you!  I will definitely look next time.  It looks like fun!

Enjoy the rest of your cruise.

Final day at sea. The ship is moving more than ever. It’s hard to walk around without using handrails.
