Norwegian Bliss Cruise Reviews

The ship is overcrowded, and there is too much competition for everything on board including dining, elevators, and public spaces. We often have to wait for two or three elevators to find space. The breakfast food in the Garden Cafe doesn't change for seven days. We had to arrive by 6:30 a.m. to be able to find a table to sit. When ordering at a restaurant, the order takes a minimium of 45 to 60 ...

just got off the ship and had a fabulous time. we went to Alaska to celebrate our 30th anniversary..the crew was friendly and excited because it was the first cruise of the season. my first cruise as well. the food was delicious, the choices were plentiful as well as the drinks. we met people from all over the world and the atmosphere was relaxed and happy. everything was first-class and seemed to ...

Embarkation was simple as the NCL app allows nearly all the steps prior to arriving. We arrived about 10 AM and since this was the first trip of the Alaska season, there were no passengers on the ship from a previous cruise. From baggage drop off to the waiting area was about 15 minutes. It would have been faster but it was clear that check in agents were being trained and were still learning the ...

This was my ninth cruise, after two on Disney, five on Royal Caribbean, and most recently one on Carnival just a few weeks back. Unfortunately, this cruise was just "fine" and I've canceled a future NCL cruise to book with another line. This is rare for me - usually I'm clamoring to book another cruise with the same line by the time I've disembarked. I was sailing solo for my birthday and because ...

First of all- this site is FULL of complainers. Take the negative reviews with a grain of salt. 4.5 review for us. We loved our experience on this ship! We don’t expect 100% perfection. Here are our pros and cons: Pros- Beautiful clean new ship, spacious balcony room, comfy beds, OBSERVATION LOUNGE deck 15- with huge windows and drinks and snacks almost always available- and tons of seating- we ...

If you don’t know any better, you may find yourself enthusiastic about NCL, but if this is the case, you are missing out! I am currently aboard the Bliss on a 7 day Baja cruise and I will tell you what to expect or what to avoid. For starters, the embarkation process is a zoo. It’s sad to say, but don’t come when you are scheduled, come way later in the day and here is why. First, there are so ...

I booked the 7 day Baja Mexico cruise. NCL unexpectedly canceled their port stop, on several cruise itineraries, to Ensenada - without any notice or explanation. Remember that you are paying for that port and the charges were not refunded. The NCL “free” airfare was BAD. The worst was a 11:59pm return flight that they wouldn’t change! The embarkation process was a disorganized zoo, with ...

I have sailed on the NCL Bliss 3 times (2022, 2023, 2024). This most recent cruise was to the Mexican Riviera (first time with NCL but have sailed the same itinerary on another cruise line). The ship was beautiful and the staff were generally very helpful and friendly. The buffet quality and variety is still my favorite of all the lines I’ve sailed. Based exclusively on the on-ship experience, ...

I wrote a review on their site, but probably won't get published. Here are the things my family of 7 were unhappy with on our 7day NCL Bliss 3/17-24/2024: 1.food, awful except for specialty dining. 2. too much nickel & dime, extra for drinks, race cars, laser tag, specialty dining-the quality was great, but it's what should be served without extra fees. 3. not clean enough-whole family got a bad ...

We did not enjoy this cruise at all and wanted to post this for other's consideration in booking a cruise. For the record, my husband and I have taken approximately a dozen cruises, primarily on HAL and Royal Caribbean, and one on Celebrity. This was our first and last cruise on NCL for the reasons discussed below. On the positive side, I thought the observation lounge was beautiful and it ...
