The Covid protocols in San Pedro were organized and efficient. Check-in was a breeze because we completed our registration on line and had provided a photo in advance. This was our first time booking an aft-facing cabin and we were very pleased with the cabin and the large balcony. We were cabin 10918 which happened to be handicap equipped, therefore the door was wide enough for a wheelchair ...
Since our April 2020 cruise on the Bliss was cancelled, I've been rebooking and hoping that the sailing would go ahead. Travelling from Canada posed additional challenges, and then everything came together to enable this seven-day Mexican Riviera trip to go ahead in early December. As I write (in mid December), new travel advisories are going into effect so I will savor the lingering feelings of ...
I was looking forward to this cruise so much. I booked a room in the Haven and had watched so many videos and read so many reviews. Little did I know that my cruise would be a nightmare with a very horrible customer experience. To start off with I was booked into a Haven suite room that was right in front of the crew bar. Do not get me wrong the crew deserve relaxation just as much as a guest but ...
We chose the Bliss for 4 reasons: (1) Ease to get to the ship, (2) NCL is a 100% vaccinated & tested at the port, (3) sailing at about 50% occupancy, & (4) We like NCL.
Embarkation: it went smooth and fairly quickly. We had scheduled 12:30-1:00pm check-in time but arrived early. We dropped off our luggage and toured the battleship Iowa. You can also get in line and take your COVID test ...
We weren't sure what to expect due to COVID but Norwegian handled embarkation/testing extremely well in LA. Entertainment was not as robust as on other NCL cruises, presumably because of the pandemic. Capacity was limited to less than 50% - about a 1:1 ratio of staff to passengers! While this made a big difference with our previous experience on the crowded Escape a few years ago, I think the ...
This Mexican adventure was my first cruise on NCL, my first cruise ever. Expectations were high, but I didn't quite know what to expect, especially with COVID protocols in place and the ship only booked half full. Originally, I was not included to be on this boat with my girlfriend, her son and mom, but as things worked out, I made time off at work and decided to book a room and join them.
I ...
After having 2 cruises cancelled due to Covid, we were very excited to start cursing again. NCL made the Covid testing process very easy prior to boarding. It was our first time on the Bliss and I can say that it is the best ship I've been on so far. Loved the big observation deck. Cabin had the best shower we've ever had. Staff was great including the servers at the pool (especially Komang, ...
We just returned from a chartered Mexican Riviera trip on the NCL Bliss. We had been looking forward to this for a long time and not being able to travel during the pandemic. Thankfully, the pandemic had waned a bit by the time of our cruise & vaccination was mandated for all passengers. You also had to test negative for Covid twice within 72 hours. You had to do one test on your own and upload ...
1). Overall is Ok But Music after 11.00 pm with super loud low frequencies, with 95% elderly people is too much to stand.
2).Plus no Internet Or 200 dollars price with super slow speed, and no TV.
I actually decided to take the trip to rest after hard work but met the same problem that I sometimes get from my neighbors: too loud music.
3).Room was no vacuumed every day.
4) ...
I went on the cruise with my best friend for spring break. We are both 21 years old. I had the time of my life on this cruise, and I’m looking forward to cruising with Norwegian in the future, but there were a few things that surprised me. We were not permitted on the tender boats to go to great stirrup day due to wind. It was really a bummer to get 1 day in the Bahamas on a 7 day cruise. We were ...
