The Bliss now has been added to my list of favorite ships. The vessel itself is beautiful with everything in a logical place with the notable exception of Le Bistro, which is oddly hidden on an upper deck.
The crew is fantastic, led by Jovo as Hotel Director. Everyone is friendly, caring and helpful. For me, the crew makes or breaks the experience, and this group made mine a joy throughout the week.
The food was consistently at least good, with some excellent. Most of my dinners were in specialty restaurants, all of which performed well. Menus seem to change almost every month, which adds variety, but inevitably results in removal of my favorite items. I realize that’s a corporate issue, not a ship decision, but it’s worth mentioning anyway.
Typical mega-ship layout for Norwegian. Nothing particularly better or worse than other Breakaway and Breakaway Plus vessels. I’ve been in many of them on various ships, and they provide me what I need. Don’t get too hung up on cabins; you shouldn’t spend much awake time there anyway.
