A cruise to Bermuda is THE only
way to see Bermuda. Leaving on a Wed. lets you in Bermuda on a weekend with no other ships in port. Leaving from Philly is great. We have done it 3 times. Never on the Dynasty but we are doing it this July.
My mother & I just returned from the Philly/Bermuda cruise aboard the Crown Dynasty. Bermuda was WONDERFUL, we just wished we had more time on the island. The Crown Dynasty is a nice little ship (860 passengers); the service was great! The food was kind of 'average', not as fantastic as a Royal Carribean cruise we took a few years ago. But, all in all we had a great time!
Thanks, Karen. Just what I wanted to hear. I'm glad you enjoyed Bermuda and the news about the ship was great. What deck were you on?
Returned on May 10th from a 12 day repositioning cruise on the Crown Dynasty from Aruba to Baltimore. It was our first experince on that ship. My husband and I were very impressed. We enjoyed the food and the bright, open atmosphere. Sometimes it takes several days to get acclimated to the ship's layout but not the Crown Dynasty. We would recommend it and are considering taking the cruise from Baltimore to Bermuda. We have been on 20+ cruises.
