We had a wonderful time on the Norwegian bliss, there were so many fun things to do, like shows and great bands! The food was fantastic and the servers were very attentive and seemed to love their jobs.There was stuff going on all the time. We especially loved going through Glacier Bay and stopping at the ports. However the stop in Ketchican was way too short, as well as the stop in Victoria. We barley got off the ship in Victoria, and only had an hour and a half to sight see. No time for the gardens, which I really wanted to to do! If you cruise you must be prepared to be around a lot of people at the ports, since there are sometimes 3 ships there at on time. The ship does need to find a way to get people off the ship faster at the ports, we lost a lot of sightseeing time because of slow lines getting off. Loved our trip though, and would recommend it...leave the kids at home, all they would want to do is play in the pool....too expensive for that!
