This was my second cruise with Norwegian and probably my last. I let Norwegian book my flights to Fort Lauderdale and back home, big mistake, I will never let a cruise line book my flights again. I was booked on the first flight leaving for Florida that day and it got cancelled. Booked a later flight and the departure time got changed over a dozen times. This airline does not have a good ...
What an amazing disappointment! After going on the Escape in April of 2022 we thought the Bliss would be even better. Were we wrong! The ship was clean, staff was kind when you could find them, but overall it was ok. This was the second cruise in a row that a port was cancelled, Costa Mia due to winds, which I agreed with. But it would have been nice to get some type of compensation or at least ...
We booked this cruise for our 25th wedding anniversary. It was the worst vacation in 25 years!! To begin we haven't had a vacation since covid began in 2020. We were given assurance when NCL said they require vaccination certificates and / or a negative covid test and they would be checked . But they completely failed to do so, not caring about guest health or safety.
Then our itinerary was ...
Our trip started with a nice, early-arriving (11:00am) air flight from Chicago to Fort Lauderdale. It was all down hill from there…
- A 2.5-hour wait for the transfer shuttle bus to the Miami port. That’s after we had already obtained our baggage from the baggage claim area.
- Upon arrival at the port, we brought our 2 suitcase bags to the porters. Before taking our bags, the porter asked if ...
We took this cruise with a large group from our 55+ community. There were three busloads of us. We arrived at the pier a little early and my wife and I being at the sapphire level were let on about 11 AM. We ate at the buffet and walked around the ship until our luggage arrived at our room. We had previously been on the Bliss for a trip to Alaska a few years ago and the ship didn't look any older. ...
We choosed Norwegian because it was supposed to be better experience. Sailed 11 cruises. The Cleaness and staff great. The Food is better in Elementary school, way below Golden coral.
The shows were terrible.
Only one nice dining room and no formal nights or music. during dining.
They changed a port from Costa Maya because the port was over booked!!!! How does this happened when ...
I decided to go on a solo cruise for the first time. I wanted it to be more than 7 days and I liked the itinerary for the Bliss from Los Angeles to Miami. I started with an interior room and upgraded to an oceanview and received the promotional bonus for that ($50 off each excursion, 2 free speciality dining offers & 300 free wifi minutes).
Embarkation in LA was not bad. I arrived at the ...
Overall, the cruise was enjoyable. The crew did their best despite recent staffing cuts. Ship’s officers (with a few exceptions) appeared wanting. One of the notable positive exceptions was Marites Sonza, who appeared to be everywhere attempting to make sure everything was flowing smoothly!
A great itinerary was reduced by two desirable port calls being eliminated (explanation sounded like ...
The NCL Bliss exceeded our expectations and is an upgrade f.i. compared with the NCL Getaway. It is a busy ship, but restaurants and pools are always accessable without waiting. Lots of loungers available at the pool, even on seedays!
Dining is a very nice experience, we special liked dining at Los Lobos, Ocean Blue and Cagney's. Complementary dining at Savor or Taste was nice, good menu's ...
This was our 6th cruise with Norwegian and our 15th cruise
It started with embarkation in san Pedro we checked in online and they gave us a time to show up at port. Only to find a large tent in a parking lot with a 3hr line to check in this was the worst experience ever . Never seen such disorganization.
The first stop in Cabo if you didn't buy excursion you could not go on tender for 2 ...
