What a wonderful trip. We started our adventure from Miami. We arrived a day early and spent the evening at the Romero Britto Gallery in Liberty Square. After a fun outdoor dinner we went back to our hotel filled with excitement for the next days boarding.
I had been told by other cruise passenger that the Miami Cruise port was a difficult port to deal with, long lines, difficult port ...
We have done over 13 cruise on Princess but The Bliss the ship the crew and the food is over the top . The ship is so friendly you don,t even feel that you s sea the crew don,t know what to do for you .You feel like your traveling with family. I think princess may have loss us to NCL Bliss.We ate in 7 of the special restaurants great food. The buffet had so many different choices you didn,t know ...
We have just been introduced to NCL when we bid on a cruise at an American Cancer Society auction. We chose the Escape (western Caribbean) for this first experience. We enjoyed it so much that we booked our next cruise while on board. Six months later we had the most marvelous cruise experience on the Bliss. There isn't anything I would have wanted to change. We took advantage of nearly EVERYTHING ...
I was on the Panama Canal cruise in May 2018 as the ship was being moved over to the Pacific side of the world in order to do Alaska cruises this summer.
This was my sixth cruise with Norwegian, and my 44th cruise overall. Even though I've done more cruises with Carnival than any other cruise line, in recent years I've come to think of Norwegian as my cruise line of choice. It really seems to ...
We had a beautiful 15 day cruise through the Panama Canal. The ship is gorgeous, the food delicious, and the entertainment spectacular. Our cabin steward Komang, was very helpful and polite. We found the staff to be friendly and attentive. We visited Cagney’s three times and each time both the food and service was outstanding. I visited the spa and had a very relaxing facial. There was a hypnotist ...
We did the initial Panama Canal cruise on this ship. As always I will keep it simple and do a Pros and Cons section below.
The biggest issue we had on this cruise was the ports and the dining room foods. The buffet foods were great. Seated dining not so much.
PROS:
The ship is amazing
Great layout
Excellent staff and customer service (Largely Filipino...this is huge)
Buffet Food ...
NCL Bliss is okay and and we looked forward to the cruise (we were on the NCL Escape inaugural cruise from UK to Miami. Generally the staff was good. However, excess focus on revenue generation and penny-pinching (fake Equal and Splenda) diminished our cruise experience. Penny-pinching was evident in almost every aspect of NCLs operations. The mapping system and the passenger information screen ...
We were looking for a cruise in May that was going through the new Panama Canal and our travel agent suggested this one. We arrived at the embarkation port prior to the time they said their reception area would be open. We were allowed to enter and walked through the registration process with almost no wait. We waited for about an hour upstairs and them were allowed on the ship. Were able to use ...
My wife and I are seasoned cruisers and wanted to experience a fairly new ship without all the dings and odors of other ships we have been on. This was a beutiful ship with a terrific service crew with the 3rd leg out of Miami going over to Los Angeles through the Panama Canal. Neither of us have been through the Panama Canal before, so we were really looking forward to this cruise. Here are our ...
Selected this cruise based on being a brand new ship with thoughts that it would be a special memory standout. Was on the maiden voyage in May. Yes, it was in some respects. Let's review the pluses and minuses.
PLUS SIDE:
1. Glamorous ship with all the whistles and bells of supposed modern technology
2. The Locals Pub and Grill : outstanding deli food and staff
3. Enjoyed ...
