The excitement was real as we wrapped up breakfast and left home around 9:30 AM, all packed and ready for our 7-day adventure to Bermuda. As we drove into the city, the first glimpse of our cruise ship took our breath away—it stood tall and majestic on the Hudson River, a true floating city!
Check-in was smooth, and by 2 PM, we were officially on board. The sheer size of the ship amazed all of us—18 floors packed with restaurants, shops, a buzzing casino, lively bars, pools, a full amphitheater, a grand theater, and even water slides and a giant rope course towering on the 18th floor!
Watching our parents and in-laws marvel at everything around them was heartwarming. For them, this was like stepping into a whole new world—a luxurious hotel on water. The kids were already eyeing the pools and adventure zones, while we were still soaking in the scale of it all.
After a delicious lunch at one of the onboard restaurants, we headed up to the open deck for sail-away views of the iconic New York skyline. The cruise’s embarkation party had started with music, dancing, and a contagious energy in the air.
Standing there with our parents, kids, and each other, waving goodbye to New York as the ship slowly pulled away… it was one of those rare, perfect moments where you feel incredibly grateful to share such a special experience with family.
And just like that—our Bermuda adventure had begun!
