Just got off the Bliss on March 27th. We had a great time. Service was awesome everywhere we went. The ship was about half full. We were in cabin 10918 aft cabin. Very large with a large balcony. I wish there was more storage in the bathroom.
Specialty dining we did Le Bistro, Ocean Blue, Cagneys, and food Republic. Food republic is known for sushi but they have lots of other vegan and ...
This was our 51st cruise and our first on Norwegian. Started cruising in the 90's and never heard anything good or anyone recommend Norwegian. I'll set the record straight at least for our cruise in the Haven. This cruise exceeded our expectations. Our recent cruises (all were in suites) were on Celebrity Millennium (Aug 2022), Ovation of the Seas (Sept 2022) and Allure of the Seas (Oct 2022). ...
Loved this cruise. We loved being back on a cruise ship again. Getting on and off the ship in LA was slow. Slower than other times In this location. Once we got through the vaccine and shot verification, it was much better. It was also so slow getting off the ship. Masks were required getting on and off the ship.
Food was excellent. We loved the spa and went everyday. The port stops were ...
This was our 29th cruise, with cruising on 6 different lines. We booked this cruise because we had already booked the Princess Majestic the week before. That cruise was to be a Love Boat cruise with the crew of the show to be on the ship. They canceled one month before the cruise. Back to the Bliss, we arrived at the ship early as we stayed at a hotel the night before. We mostly book an inside ...
17th cruise, 12th on Norwegian, 2nd on the Bliss. My wife and I enjoy cruising to exotic destinations but decided to make a last minute booking on the Bliss to escape the cold and rainy weather of the Pacific Northwest. We previously sailed on the Bliss to Alaska and I thought very highly of the ship and its crew.
Things I liked on this sailing: The crew was friendly and for the most part went ...
The dates and the itinerary fit our calendar and we were ready to enjoy returning to cruising. The ship was at about 60% capacity, so it was not crowded. Of course, being in the Haven crowding is never an issue. Checking in with verification of vaccination status plus COVID testing took extra time, but it was well organized.
After priority boarding, we went to the Haven Restaurant for a ...
Chose this cruise because it is a short flight from my home to LAX. No need for spending a night in a hotel.
Have cruised NCL in the past. The ships are well appointed, the crew always friendly and willing to go the extra mile. They, beyond the cabin steward, somehow manage to remember your name and greet you even in passing.
Deals definitely play a role in choosing the line to cruise. ...
We are long time DCL cruisers but with our kids adults now we are exploring other cruise lines for a cheaper alternative. We LOVE DCL and will cruise with them again but they are on the expensive side and are searching for a secondary cruise line so we can cruise more as we get older.
We have tried RC but did not like all service and all the nickel and diming they do. Really a room key and ...
FLIGHTS
Flights booked by NCL as advertised, 2nd person flies free. Delta flights Myrtle Beach/Atlanta and Atlanta/LAX. Both full flights, mask wearing mandatory in airports and on board. Experienced no unruly passengers. Everyone wore masks unless eating or drinking.
NCL SHUTTLE
Booked airport to cruise port shuttle through NCL … $25/person each way … reasonable. Had read some ...
This was our 9th cruise and easily the worst one we have ever taken.
Three days before the sailing, NCL informed us the "kids club" was going to be closed for the whole trip, angering a whole slew of guests, but they didn't give a reason or a solution of what to do with kids for 7 days.
The embarkation took almost 3 hours from the time we arrived. They clearly did not have enough staff to ...
