we booked this cruise 2 years ago when the boat was being built. we were really surprised how big the boat was and got worried with how many passengers were going to be on the boat.
Our cabin was in the back of the boat (11318) and we absolutely loved the view, matter of fact we will never sail again without having an aft cabin. with that being said, floor 11 in the aft on the bliss has a little minor problem, the soot from the stacks came right down on our balcony because it sticks out some. it was raining and dirty and people that smoke on the deck above would often throw cigarettes off the back the boat and end up on our balcony. so when booking the aft, consider to go up higher or down lower so you have a covered balcony.
Dining was ok...after 7 days on the boat, everything just tastes the same and i don't care for cruise boat food. i like to eat at ports because of this. we had dinner at the french restaurant and the republic....i liked the republic and wanted to eat there again but never got the opportunity. La Bistro...NO! the french onion soup was the same as what my mother in law had at Manhattan the next night.
