I fell in love with Norwegian Cruise Lines when I went on the Breakaway a few years ago. When they announced the Bliss was going to Alaska it took all but 5 minutes for me to decide that I was going to experience Bliss. There are no words that could experience how wonderful my experience was on the Bliss. The best part was the observation lounge. (I wish it was the entire 15th floor). If you didn't get there early it was hard to find a seat. My family and I (32 of us) took turns occupying a section so we always had a place.
Embarkation and Debarkation ran smoothly. We didn't encounter any issues. You will need your passport and eDOCs so don't leave home without it.
The staff on the Bliss was excellent. My stateroom steward Clifford was accommodating and took the time to learn my name!! If you get him you are sure to have a good cabin experience.
The oceanview cabin was spacious and we could see everything from our window. We choose an oceanview because we thought it would be to cold for a Balcony. It turns out we had great weather on our trip. Be aware that some oceanviews have a sofa. We did not have one in this cabin. My cousin had an O1 and they had the sofa. Her cabin number was 5420 (I think!!!).
