Another awesome cruise on NCL. The Bliss is a little over a year old. The staff is amazing and so friendly. Special thanks to our steward Hendra. He is a gem! There is no shortage of things to do. They have 2 water slides, go carts, laser tag, miniature golf and a casino. The Bliss also has several pools including one adult only pool and multiple hot tubs from forward to aft. NCL has a fully packed itinerary to occupy every minute of every day. The food was decent, much better in the specialty restaurants than the buffet and other complimentary restaurants. In addition to the buffet they have 4 complimentary restaurants. The Local Bar and Grill is open 24 hours and had the worst food on the ship. The buffet was better than the Local. 9 specialty restaurants give you plenty of other options. The steakhouse was the best.

For those who drink there are at least 6 bars which were pretty lively every day. There's also a Starbucks, gelato shop, bake shop and specialty confectioner with milkshakes, crepes and homemade candy. Yes, we gained quite a few pounds in a week even though we worked out every day. I do have to say the fitness center is TOO SMALL! It was packed everyday.

Entertainment is plentiful including Jersey Boy's which was fantastic. They have 2 other musicals (Havana and Prohibition the Musical) which were so-so. The Beatles impersonators were excellent and performed a different Beatle's album nightly at the Cavern Club. The whole crowd sang along. We did not go to the comedy club but I heard it was very good. They also have two other bands that play in the Atrium a few times a day and night. Both bands were very good. Read more
