Cruising is the perfect family vacation as it allows us to have both family time and for our teens to have more “freedom” for activities they enjoy.
The Bliss is a large ship, but it is designed to provide more private spaces. Here are some highlights:
EMBARKING/DISEMBARKING were very easy. We went to the dock earlier than our assigned time and were allowed to board. We disembark on our own, so were off the ship in a matter of minutes at the end of the cruise. We took the NCL shuttle to the airport (book this in advance).
Cabin Review
Balcony Stateroom
Cabin BF
BALCONY CABIN was very spacious for four people, including two teen boys. Queen-size bed by the balcony was comfortable and the boys slept on the convertable bunk beds. The space is well designed. We put the coffee service on the top shelf of the closet to give us more countertop space. There is plenty of storage space in the room (even under the coach/convertable bed). I read about bringing heavy-duty magnetic hooks for the walls and am glad I did. Everyone had a hook for their cardkey lanyards and we used them in the bathroom for our toiletry kit and by the balcony door for our binoculars.
Port Reviews
Seattle
We spent the day before boarding the Bliss going to the Space Needle, seeing the Chihuly Glass Museum and Gardens and wandering around Seattle's Pike's Place Market. Highly recommend all of the above!
Skagway
Fun to drive, beautiful vistas!
Skagway
Gorgeous views. Van driver was very entertaining and informative.
Glacier Bay
This is not a port where you leave the ship. Instead you stay onboard and the ship rotates completely to give everyone a view of the glacier. We stayed on our balcony, away from the crowds on deck, and enjoyed the view!
