Small cabin with little closet space. Probably fine for 2 people but not family friendly.

I will start with the positives: 

- If you're a single or older couple with no kids, this cruise MAY be for you 

- Good options for entertainment 

- Paid/ upcharge restaurants were definitely better than included ones 

- Alaska ports made the trip worthwhile 

Now, for the things we do not like and why we will never choose Norweigan again:

- Maybe because the Bliss is so new, this could explain the utter lack of organization of the staff 

- Food at Buffet, Taste/Savor (same food) and Manhattan was very mediocre (at best) with no place to sit in the buffet restaurant 

- Our room (10-154) had a horrible banging/knocking in the walls and for 3 straight nights I go ZERO sleep, for a vacation it was unbearable 

- The spa passes were pointless and way over priced (again with kids, it's very difficult to coordinate since the kids clubs closes for 2 hours chucks all through the day) 

- The arcade and bowling machines will charge you repeatedly whether you used/ played the machine or not (and the way we were treated when we brought up an extra $6 charge was atrocious...95 per person to use it 

- Most things were constantly closed down (laser tag, mini golf and race track) which attracted us in the first place 

- Most things on ship are an extra cost so it's a constant nickel and diming vacation 

- Not a lot of family friendly activities 

- Havanah was just awful (as you will see in every other review) but there was really no need for the actors to light up real cigarettes in Jersey Boys (it was disgusting and made the whole theater smell) 

- The common spaces like the observation area are ALWAYS packed and people put their gross feet on the furniture and no rules are enforced.
