WE did that cruise a couple years ago. its a nice cruise. Once you are on ship the staff caters to you, its whatever you want. There is something to do all day every day. There is a gym for working out and a place where you can walk or jog They call the gyms Spa because they do promote getting pampering thuff like wraps and massages with aromatherapy. They will also generally have a beauty salon to do hair and nails..
I think they had a movie theaters and you can also see movies in your room. There are demonstrations on ship like ice carving, napkin folding and towel folding, cooking demonstrations.
Each day you will receive a "newsletter" listing the time, place and particulars of each event. You can schedule land tours and activities also during the day and evening when the ship is in port. There are generally shows every evening, one show for those with an early dinner seating and another (same show) for those who eat late. There is always food available. Usually there is a place in ship where you can go get something. Or, you can always just pick up the phone in your cabin and order from the room service menu (food is free). If you want, you can order breakfast room service.
There are places on ships to play board games and cocktail lounges that feature a variety of music. There is usually a disco that starts after 10:00 PM each night.
Then there is always the pools. So you will have plenty to do.
The best thing about Bermuda is the beaches, but all of the public beaches are great. There is not a lot to do in Bermuda other than water sports and golf. There are two main towns Hamilton, the largest (where most cruise ships dock for at least a day) and St George which is small and has just a few shops (ships usually dock there for a day.) The third place you may dock while there is The Kings Dockyard.. The Dockyard is on the far end of the 22 mile long island and has some shops and a museum. There is a cavern on the island that we went to once, kinda nice. We also visited the lighthouse, for lack of anything else to do.
In the town of Hamilton we took a walking tour which took us to an old church, a nice garden and a maritime museum. There is shopping in Hamilton and restaurants, but not much else. You will probably want to eat on ship as meal are expensive since everything has to be imported.
The best way to get around in Bermuda is to buy a transportation pass (may be able to get it on ship) which will let you take the busses, and the ferry, all over the island. There is a big bus depot just a couple blocks from where ships dock in the town of Hamilton. You can take the busses to the beach, they are not very far away and easy to get to from the bus stop. You want to go to Elbow Beach and Long Beach, both open to the public. If you want to snorkel, the Tobacco Bay Beach near the town of St George is great, and its walking distance (about 3/4 mile)( from town.
I hope all of this helps.

Most of the time passengers don't know the other people on bored the ship. That is part of the fun of a cruise, you get to meet new people, and in many cases make a good friendship.
If you are young enough to go to the kids club, be sure to go. You will meet lots of kids your age and make a lot of friends. The clubs are great and they really do fun activities, you should really enjoy it. Even if you don't like the club much, be sure to go to the first few things where you are introduced to everyone. You can make a friend and then hang out together.
If you aren't young enough for a kids club, you will meet people all over. You may sit with another family at dinner, or you can go to the adult only areas to meet some people.
You will have fun and meet lots of people!
Have a great time!

You can meet other people going on your cruise on the Cruise Critic web site. Click on Community, then look under Roll Call for your specific ship. I have done this in the past, and the cruise ship even arranged a special Cruise Critic party for those of us who met online before the cruise. It was very interesting to meet the people who I had been chatting with online.

I went in August 06 to Jamaica and Haiti and there replaced right into a hurricane in the back of us/on the edge like 500 miles away that replaced into heading into jamaica and haiti. It replaced into hurricane Ernesto. 2 died in Haiti. We already went to Jamaica and Haiti at that evaluate time and have been heading back to Miami. We didnt adventure any rain yet we did see greater beneficial waves and the boat rocked a mushy bit greater. It replaced into on the liberty of the Seas. I mean August is hurricane season and you cant extremely choose for a place wherein wont get hit. You never understand. i assumed Jamaica and Haiti have been eye-catching countries and am extremely going back in March of 09. in case you pick for a undeniable cruise and the climate acts up they're going to swap your spots to places that wont be laid low with the hurricane. you could choose for to circulate to the Mexican Rivera yet finally end up going to Aruba or Haiti besides. i could propose picking which ever places you're able to desire to be certain the main and want for the terrific. this is quite the only element you're able to do. reliable luck.
