The Norwegian Bliss is one of the lines most recent ships having been put into service in 2018. In the Breakaway Plus category she is always one of the largest ships in the fleet,
The activities, cabins, dining options and crew were all fantastic. Been blessed to have been on this ship a total of 42 days in the past year, including a bucket list 15 day Miami to Los Angeles Panama Canal cruise ...
The food was great. Are room attendant was great. He made sure everything was perfect. Some of the servers on the ship in the bar areas should be a little more willing to help you. We did find one issue. I do not smoke but my husband does. He would have to go all the way across the ship every time he wanted to smoke. I think you should have more smoking areas. I really was sad since it ...
We wanted to go on a Panama Canal cruise leaving the west coast and traveling east. We were not disappointed. The ship was beautiful and extremely clean. Seems like someone was always cleaning and polishing. Thankfully even the window were cleaned several times on this journey. That has always been my number one complaint. Well this time those windows were spotless. They must have cleaned them ...
This was the maiden voyage for the Joy going through the Canal.
Very very large ships but many cozy spots to gather with friends and family for chatting, napping and playing games. Food was typical cruise food. Staff were friendly and accommodating. This is why we chose a 16 trip. Met some amazing people from many cities and countries. I like sea days because didn’t feel rushed to get off for ...
Cruised many times on Norwegian but first time on the Joy.
This is a newer ship, food, etc exceptional. Highly recommend
No matter where your cabin is on this very large ship, the layout is easy to get around.
Wide variety of dining opportunities. Highly recommend the specialty restaurants.
Entertainment could have offered more variety but both theater productions were ...
Have been wanting to experience the transit through the Panama Canal. It was quite the experience, especially since it was the Joy's first transit.
We opted for a Concierge Villa Suite and the accomodations and service provided were excellent.
Had a great time on board and met some very nice people through the Cruise Critic Roll Call. We got together several times throughout the cruise, to ...
The ship was beautifully and tastefully decorated. The cabins were cleaned perfectly. Rose was great at cleaning our rooms multiple times a day. All of the latest technologies with touch screens, key card tap entry to the cabins, and outside activities.
The shows "six" and "Jersey boys" were spectacular. So much talent!! A large variety of complementary food was available 24 hours a day ...
Right number of days, right destinations we were looking for. Large newer ship that smoothly cut through some rough seas.
Staff was excelent in all venues, including resturants, bars. With the free drink package, took full advantage of all the bars all over the ship (about 20 I believe);
a great give away by Norwegian that will keep me coming back.
Same applies for the included specialty ...
I have sailed 15+ times on Princess. This ship was in my top 3 of favorite cruises with the line.
Our service was impeccable in every way. Our room was clean and our steward was accommodating and welcoming.
We tend to gravitate toward specialty dining and our food and service were way beyond expectation in the Crown Grill and Sabatini's. We did check out the buffet only once and I have to ...
Our daughter and son-in-law chose this as their first cruise and asked us to join them. We've been to Mexico several times with Princess, but never sailed on the Royal before. I was impressed that we never felt crowded despite the number of people onboard. She's a huge ship, so walking from one end to the other was a workout. (We were glad our cabin was almost midship). Our mini-suite was ...
