Good staff and service as usual - but some other issues with ship and ports
"The second night I got the same dish because it was so good, and it didn't even look the same and the quality was definitely much inferior to first meal there.We only saw one comedy show, but it was very good and the venue was a good size, but not too big...."Read More

Dirty Room, Reduced Entertainment, Mediocre Food

I just returned from the 7 night NCL Bliss trip to Cabo, Puerta Vallarta and Mazatlan (they dropped the Ensenada stop). They lost my luggage for 24 hours and Guest Services was AWFUL. Each time they would look in the back room and say my bag wasn't there. I filled out the lost bag paperwork and they lost that too! Ultimately it turned out my bag was there the whole time. They offered me ...

This ship delivers what it sells (constant noise) and does it well which is why I would not "vacation" on it (or other ships in Breakaway Plus class) again. The decor was well-done if not a bit industrial in some of the detail. Out of 10, the crew and service was a 9; the balcony cabins were a 6; dining experience & food was an 8; embarkation 4; disembarkation 3; passenger to public space ratio 3; ...

Great Ship, Crew & experience

We started out with a very streamlined boarding process. It was efficient and pleasant. The staff was helpful & informative. The cabin was what I expected, Quite small, with a minimal balcony, but it was well organized, neat & clean. And the cabin steward was very professional and pleasant. We didn't take any jacuzzis, or swims, but it was available and others did. The other ship activities ...

Bad food, bad service

I am going to start with the food which was served cold or lukewarm most of the time. One time there was a piece of chicken that was frozen, calamari in Ocean Bleu that was so rubbery you could not chew, tiny scallops that were probably whitefish that were well past their expiration, a buffet that was beyond lacking and pastries hard as rock. The restaurants were only opened a short time with ...

Amazing overall! Food was abundant and varied and if you didn’t like something, you could order something else with little delay. Favorites were Taste, Manhatten and the Local. Buffet was adequate and convenient as needed. Service was exceptional in all restaurants and bars and special requests were easily accommodated. Entertainment was all over the ship in little pockets and catered to a ...

A very good first cruise experience (solo)

I had a very good experience on the Norwegian Bliss. I am a solo traveler and had a balcony stateroom that I found to be comfortable, roomy, and kept very clean and in good repair. There was plenty of storage space and the bathroom was also clean and big enough for my needs. I did not end up using the balcony very much, but I often appreciated having the option. A highlight was the solo ...

2-5 Cruises • Age 30s

I truly am not too sure where to begin as I feel there was a lot more bad than good on the trip. Rather than jumping into the bad let me start by saying the workers for majority of the trip were very pleasant and welcoming, specifically Mervan and Ravi at she District Bar. Other than that the only true entertainment we fully enjoyed was Anthony playing the piano at different locations on the ...

The balcony suite we had was nice with ample room. We used our balcony quite a bit. The food was very disappointing. The combinations of ingredients were sometimes strange ex: chicken cordon bleu on top of German potato salad. The food was sometimes warm at best. We could see that so sometimes the buffet food had been sitting for quite a while, unappetizing. Lost of activities. Most of the ...

If I could give 0 stars I would. This was our first trip on NCL. We planned to go to Alaska for our 10 year anniversary, which is why we were there. To start I would like to say the entire cruise was nightmare. While on board as far as entertainment there was nothing to do, bingo, deal or no deal, wheel of fortune, fruit carving, and ice sculpting were not acceptable for entertainment. We ...

Gorgeous ship! Excellent food at Cagney's. Spa was fantastic. Cabin service was average. Maybe I expected to much, I expected above average but had to track down steward for requests such as matress topper. Help locating my luggage. 1 smoking section. Lot of smokers crammed in small space. Should be at least 1 more spot for smokers. Priority access seems to get a low rating, it was ...
