Bad food, poor hospitality AND no cream for coffee

The good: some of the food, some of the staff, the musical (Jersey Boys), some of the music. The bad: (1) No cream for coffee the last few days - just packets, so you'll pay $1000+ per day for a fast food coffee experience. (2) About half the food was inedible - we felt terrible for the waste, but some dishes were still frozen in the middle; most pastries were hard and dense (apparently ...

Four people out of our party of five got diarrhea after eating in the buffet. When Riding a go cart for the first time in his life, my 12 year old grandson, was Yelled at so badly by staff for steering poorly he started to cry. They also yelled at my 18-year-old grandson for not passing a girl that was driving Erratically.(He was afraid if he tried to pass, he would run into her) They only had ...

This panhandle cruise visited too many ports for too short of a time. Generally, the ship arrived at dawn and left by noon. Many of the ports offer the same type of activities (whale watching / fishing / Indigenous people shows and crafts). The ship is nicely appointed but too big. With 4,700 passengers, elevators and gangways get extremely crowded and chaotic at every port. I stayed in a ...

Fantastic ship, crew and director! I would love to sail on this ship again! Embarkation was easy, and we were luck enough to have our suitcases at our door immediately. It’s decently fast getting on and off the ship for ports. The staff was amazing. Our room steward was so friendly and answered any question we had. The room was always made and our documents were always there. We did have a ...

Was almost perfect until the very end...

I hope to change this rating if an opportunity arises but I must say that the experience was fine until the very end. For some context, My father is 85 (born before WWII started) and wanted to go see Alaska while he was still able to so we believe this to be the perfect opportunity to do just that. After spending a total close to $8000 dollars on the cruise for just between the two of us ($5.3k ...

There were three things I could compliment The Bliss on. The balcony view, the food and the STAFF. Of course I paid for the upgrade to a balcony room deck 14. We loved sitting out there, it almost had more room than inside. The Garden Cafe food was very good. Lots of variety along with sugar free as well. Teppanaki was very good. The staff were extremely hard workers! They work 12 hour ...

Really looked forward to this cruise, have been on Celebrity, Crystal and other high end ships. Check in was chaotic. Staterooms were not ready until 2:30PM...So most of the 4,700 people were wandering around the ship with very little room. At full capacity this ship was just too overcrowded to start. Food was mediocre at best, the buffet was nothing we experienced at other ships. And then the ...

Decent value, overcrowded, lots of ports

We had a club balcony suite, we learned that the term “suite” is a misnomer because it’s not a suite, it is a regular balcony room. We did like the 13th floor location midship, but there were no substantial benefits to upgrading. The room was comfortable and large enough. The ship was sold-out, which made movement difficult on the elevator, and most places, and the food situation was terrible. ...

NCL Bliss to Alaska. 06-22-24. Staff need more training, ask the same question to several and all different answers. The excursion was not organized, I requested an excursion with plenty of time ahead, & when the ship left a letter there was a change, I understand the weather but in this case, the weather was nice and cold, so another excursion was meeting time 11:00 am, was there around 9:00 am ...
