-The casino was small. It had a variety of slots and a few tables. We played in the slot tournament. That was fun. We also bought the chip special (3 for $10) when we got onboard.

-We booked the Fantasea Snorkel Cruise through NCL in Hamilton and we did a trolley train tour of St. George. Both were good. I wrote a lot about them in my review. I loved the snorkel cruise!

-Bars and lounges were good. We did most of our drinking by the pool. Prices are vacation prices. Helmets of beer were about 20 bucks for 6 beers. Buy 5 get one free, I think. Import a few bottle more. Drinks ranged in price, maybe 6-9 bucks. I'm not sure.

-We ordered a bar set up and had wine in our room. We also bought the romance package. Good deal!

THANKS!! SO glad I asked-

those were 2 of the excursions we were considering...sound good

 

I usually do the slots--so as long as I can get one-I will be happy--and so will NCL because I usually leave a nice deposit ....

 

glad to hear you could get a bar set up --my TA said she was told no...with the fear of starting the age old booze battle-I will say I usually bring a bottle (checked luggage) --but after reading the posts-think NCL is way to strict for me!)

 

I always bring wine (carry on) for room consumption -what was your experience with the corking fee situation (there are so many opinions)--asked to pay upon check in?? or just let thru?

 

I do so appreciate your time.......

We didn't bring any wine onboard, but I believe you just payed the corkage fee at a separate table set up when you are at the terminal.

 

If you think of anything else, let me know. It was such a GREAT trip!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review. We are going on the Crown October 14. This is our first cruise and now after reading your review I feel as though we will have no problem finding our way around.

 

Thanks again for giving us such a great account of your trip, it was very helpful. :)

Hi, I know everyone is tired of this. We will be on the Empress to Bermuda in late September. i have heard that RCCL has coke products. The only thing I drink, except for coffee and juice is fresca. If they don't let you carry it on I am screwed. Does anyone out there know for sure. I was thinking I was going to bring some cans of it in my carry on, but I am not sure if I will be able to or not??? Thanks!

[WECRUSIN]

What snorkeling trip did you go on - sounds wonderful?

[jackdis]

Fantasea snorkel out of Hamilton. It was great!!! Sun, tour, snorkel, beach, and rum swizzles!

dirsa,

 

Take it with you in your carry-on.

I thought I saw someone ask about this, but missed the answer. Do you know how much the transportation ticket is, and which transport it covers? I don't want to have to worry about correct change etc, so I'd rather have the pass. Does the pass work on the ferry as well? Thanks.

Three day bus/ferry pass is $28.00. Will take you anywhere. If you don't have a pass (you can get them for 1day as well) you MUST have exact change.

One day pass is $12 for adult, $6.00 for child, three day pass is $28 and $14. Yes, you can use it on the ferry as well.
