My sister and I had a great cruise. We arrived in Seattle two days before and toured Seattle before the cruise. It was a great start to our vacation. Out hotel concierge was helpful getting is to the port.
The Bliss is a new ship and very clean and nice. The balcony cabin was wonderful. I would opt for a balcony again. The food was wonderful no matter where we ate. All the employees were ...
My family of four (15 and 13 year old) cruised on the Bliss in July. The embarkation process was very well organized and went smoothly. The ship was beautiful and immucaulate. As soon as we got on board we ran to book the race track and laser tag , they have these convenient kiosks on every floor where you can book activities, we found an empty kiosk two floors up and had no problem booking a ...
Just an FYI: I am 42, travelled with my spouse and 2 teenagers.
The ship is HUGE. People are in awe at the ports at the sheer size of the outside of the boat. Prepare to do lots of walking inside the boat. The good: it is new, modern décor, gorgeous color schemes, easy boarding and debarkation, 2 shows we saw (Jersey Boys and Havana) were great, Ultimate Drink Package was perfect in every ...
So here I am, an experienced cruiser, and I loved every cruise I’ve ever been on (about 15-18) and I usually go on royal, carnival and princess. All spectacular. I went on the Norwegian bliss and I am absolutely appalled and so absolutely furious at everything about this cruise. And I plan to post this everywhere I can in hopes people will see it so changes are made because everyone was so ...
This was my 2nd NCL cruise and my 6th cruise overall. Embarkation went relatively smoothly. Took about 25 minutes from curb to ship.
My wife and I had a standard interior cabin. It was extremely functional but did lack storage space. There were absolutely no dresser/cabinet drawers for clothes storage, just one modest sized closet so my wife lived out of her suitcase. Make sure you don’t ...
We went on this cruise chosen by our travel agent. We enjoyed the smoothness of the ship sailing on the ocean. Each day had activities to enjoy. We enjoyed the shore excursions. We got to see whales, seals, and eagles. We visited native Alaskan village, and enjoyed their native dances, wood carvings, art, and totem poles. We enjoyed seeing the blue ice of the glacier. We enjoyed the activities on ...
This is going to be very long and detailed.
This was our first cruise as a family and the first NCL cruise for my husband and myself. It had been more than 20 years since we’d been on one (his was a Carnival and mine was a Royal Caribbean). I stressed a LOT over the plans and ‘what was going to happen’ since I am stress prone and there wasn’t much information out there. I am writing this all ...
I will start off with a couple of positives. For the size of this ship, the boarding process was effortless. Once we arrived at the terminal, we were on the ship within 15 minutes. The food was really good at every spot. I didn't find anything I didn't like. I had the drink package and so did my husband. They allowed you to get two drinks at a time which was really nice because seating in the ...
The Norwegian Bliss-less
I should have known that this experience was going to be atrocious when the booking and check in process was so terrible. Our two kids are 12 and 15 and very shy. One of my concerns was them being allowed to be in the same club (our prior experience with Disney allowed them to be). One of the Norwegian reps assured me they would be able to be in the same club so I ...
We started our vacation three days before our departure in Seattle. We took the 10 hour tour to Mt Rainier which was magnificent. The other two days we toured the must see attractions like the Space Needle, the Monorail and Pike's Market. One of my favorite places was Chihuly Garden and Glass. The glass exhibits were beautiful and nothing like I've ever seen. We even took the Underground Tour ...
