I’m usually not one to write reviews, and I’m usually a pretty easy going passenger. Things happen, mistakes are made, it’s never a big deal. But this most recent trip - 4 nights from LA to Vancouver - I was so disappointed!! Truly! We booked a mid balcony room (no complaints there, great as always) and we had the premium plus drink package. Drinks were great, food was alright (complimentary meals ...
We had the best time, the entire ship had a very helpful, friendly. professional and honest staff always ready to help and guide you. We would like to especially thank the wonderful floor staff at the Garden Cafe as they returned a very valuable item left in the restaurant.
Great food in abundance with fabulous service from the restaurant team. The atmosphere is fun and joyful with tons of ...
We had last cruised NCL in Fall 2022 on back-to-back cruises on Prima and Breakaway. So when we felt like another cruise, kept it simple and cheap with this respositioning cruise. Our first time on this class of ship. In general, this is a good ship with many things to do and good specialty and general dining.
There are typical challenges with over-crowded elevators; limited seating in public ...
The Norwegian Bliss is seemingly a fun ship, especially with young children in mind. Lots of outdoor playing opportunities like the Speedway, Water slides etc. Plenty of eating venues, both specialty dining and casual dining. Foods are good and have good varieties. The casinos were well run. And the entertainment was good too! And we feel pretty safe to travel with NCL!
What bothers us the most ...
Why chose this cruise because the repositioning option was very reasonable and gave us a chance to see Victoria and Vancouver. The food on the cruise was amazing. We are in the complimentary restaurants only. The Manhattan Room had great food and a beautiful view. If you arrive before opening and get in line you can get a table along the big windows with a great view. The food in the buffet was ...
I chose this cruise for a couple reasons. One - I was on this ship right before Covid hit, I had a couple issues (I fell on the tender and no one from NCL helped me, the passengers did) and I remember overall it was okay and I was cruising with my mom and wanted to show her the larger ships. Two - the dates and times worked for us, so I booked it for the yearly mother- daughter vacation. Where do ...
I was on two Norwegian cruises before and swore never again but thought I’d give them one more try because my son wanted to try the single cabin. Food was absolutely horrible, even in the specialty restaurants. Los Lobos ranked with dog food, that I wouldn’t feed my dog. The only good food we had was when we got off of the ship. Service was super slow and the staff seemed not to care. At ...
We chose this cruise first of all because of the ship and also because of departure from Los Angeles. We have cruised Royal Caribbean and Carnival in the past and enjoyed both, but wanted to try a different line. We thought NCL might be our new choice after looking at the Bliss and it's amenities. We will go back to our previous cruise lines in the future, but here are pros and cons:
Pros: The ...
28yo Male- I’ve been on celebrity and carnival. first time NCL, from this experience I will not be back.
Pros:
- My group was able to get reservations at le Bistro and Ocean Blue. Fantastic food and service. Definitely worth it
- cabin was clean
- the District was a fun great service bar (when it was open)
- shows were good, Six was awesome
- housekeeping staff were some of ...
It was overall a really bad experience. Common areas were not large enough to comfortably accommodate the amount of passengers. It was very similar to Vegas. Maybe half the staff that was needed to accommodate a full ship. Room was barely cleaned late in the day. No turn down service. Took forever to get a drink at the bars and there was no service at chairs or tables besides in the sit down ...
