I have made a habit of cruising NCL out of Miami on the second week of march. Last few years I was on the Escape, this year the Bliss took over the route.
I usually show up at the port after lunch after the crowds so enbarcation was a breeze. From curb to stateroom took less than 15 minutes. Not bad on a sold out ship spring break week cruise.
The ship is brand new and it shows. It is a nice mature version of the Breakaway class ships. They finally got the main pool deck right, and made the common open spaces larger or at least feel less enclosed. The new observation deck and upgraded Garden Café are absolutely amazing.
The usual NCL Solo Studio, but thanks to the useless corridor facing windows being replaced with a video screen with a live feed from outside the cabin somehow felt a tad larger than it is.
