My wife and I have done many cruises yearly with friends, since the late 1960s.
Mostly the Caribbean, South America and the Mexican Rivera, in February to get away from the Boston winter for awhile. Never had a bad cruise.
My wife came down with Alzheimers about six years ago so flying is out- too complicated.
I have taken her to Bermuda from Boston to Bermuda in October, done 3 cruises the last 5 yeas to Bermuda, 3 years on the Norwegian Dawn and the last two on the Serenade of the Seas in October.
If we are up to it this October, I will give the Norwegian Gem cruise to Bermuda from Boston a try. -Tom
We cruised the Celebrity Summit four times to Bermuda from Bayonne and the Gem to the Bahamas. I misspoke about the cleanest ship it was the Dawn. We took that last summer to the Bahamas and Florida and Great Stirrup Cay.
