Norwegian Bliss Review

Additional details
This is a little bit long, but I write with the hope that you will find it more entertaining than I did the cruise.
Let me begin by saying that I've been on 20+ cruises over the last 30 years. When we started cruising, our friends compared every cruise to their experience on NCL; nothing measured up. This was my first cruise with NCL and I was prepared to be wowed. Apparently, a lot has changed in 30 years.
Not everything was bad, in fact, our first contact with the ship was fantastic. The ship was docked right in downtown Seattle. I didn't think we had the right ship though, because where it should have said "Bliss" it said "Wayland", right there on the bow. I later learned that he's the artist who designed the images that cover the hull. OK, but doesn't an artist sign a canvas at the bottom of his work?

Port Reviews
Juneau
We were able to charter our own boat tour for just the six of us. An amazing personal experience.
Seattle
An interesting place to visit but very crowded on a Saturday morning (duh)!
Skagway
Interesting town to visit. Very picturesque.
Glacier Bay
Very interesting to see. Glaciers have gotten smaller since I last saw them.
Ketchikan
Really just more shopping for us. The main road is under construction. The Bliss docks farther away from town than the smaller ship I was on last time. Still within walking distance though.
