Don't get me wrong, the ship is a miraculous vessel. But having 4,000+ people on a ship was a bit crowded to say the least. That meant when the ship docked, it could take up to an hour to get off for your shore excursions.
Staff made sanitation their top priority, so that was reassuring. But no matter how many times you use hand sanitizer, you still can't escape sharing oxygen with the ...
Embarkartion was a quick process. We boarded much faster then I thought it might be. We had plenty of time to explore the ship before we were allowed in staterooms. Staterooms ere comfortable, clean and well appointed. The dining experiences were wonderful! The Garden Cafe' had a plethora of food choices- many cultures, flavors, and tastes represented. The other restaurants were a pleasant ...
The Bliss is a beautiful ship- immaculately clean and well maintained! The crew is extremely helpful and friendly- they are the ones that really make the whole experience. The dining options were varied and top notch, we especially enjoyed Savor, the buffet, and Q Texas Barbecue. Cagney's Steakhouse and Food Republic were so-so, in our opinion. The 7-day Alaska itinerary is awesome, our favorite ...
This was my first cruise I ever been, and the biggest thing I took away from it is that I will probably never take a cruise again. It’s not because I got sea sick, or had a bad time, but it just wasn’t what I wanted or thought it would be.
When I proposed to my wife the deal was she plan the wedding and I plan the honeymoon, well I immediately knew that we were going on a cruise of some sort. ...
Just off the Bliss on 7/21 and had a great time. It was me, my wife and son who turned 17 on the cruise. We’ve cruised NCL, RCCL and Disney in the past. Overall, we loved our cabin, the ship, the crew, the food and ports. Really don’t have any complaints and any hiccups were handled to our satisfaction. Here are the day-to-day details (sorry for typos in advance)…
We flew in the night before ...
I always sail the haven category. It’s usually in a forward facing penthouse. This cruise I had 12106. I like this cabin for its space and forward and port views. The balcony is usually small and this ship was no exception. The curtain in the bedroom wouldn’t stay up and after numerous calls to fix it, my husband tied a belt around it during the day. Since this ship is so huge, bigger than I would ...
From check-in to disembarking, everything was awesome.
Check-in and embarkation was so smooth. Everyone we encountered was so friendly. Exploring the ship before setting sail was really a great experience. Every part of the ship was clean, and looked brand new. We got to check out restaurants, bars, the pools & spas, laser tag and the race track before it got crazy busy. Our cabin (11116 ...
We chose the Bliss because it was built for Alaska Cruising. It was a fantastic voyage in every way. Although no cruise/ship is perfect, the Bliss did not disappoint. We booked an M6 Mini Suite w/ large balcony on deck 8/ forward. It waa a great location as everything we wanted was very close by. Dining was Awesome. We had the 3 specialty dining package included, and went to Cagney’s, LaCuccina ...
My family of 4 had a great experience with NCL on our recent trip to Alaska. We traveled with my parents who are experienced cruisers on different lines (RCCL, Princess, and Disney) we have only sailed with Disney. Here are our pros and cons.
Pro:
Beautiful ship! Loved the Waterfront, beautiful area to walk around outside. Great place for whale and other wildlife watching. Lots of ...
Offer received through Latitudes Rewards. Loved the ship itself. Much better than the Star. Everything was clean and shiny new. Loved how many options you had available to keep you occupied.
Decent pricing on cruise itself, but a nightmare upgrading the drink package. Got a cocktail when I got on ship (Long Island) which was absolutely awful. Switched to Vodka Cranberry and then got the ...
