Long lines and crowded

Nice ship but long lines for everything. There are 8 restaurants you have to pay extra for. Five that are included, which includes the buffet. But if you want to eat beware of long lines and plan ahead. Getting off the ship is a nightmare. I've been standing in line for 4 hours with no end in sight. If you want to walk on a treadmill great but if you prefer any other kind of exercise like ...

We were offered this cruise from Miami thru the Canal to LA at a decent price due to cancellations incurred during the Pandemic. First off this will be our last cruise on a "Mega" ship. Just far too many people with far too few staff. Cabins are now cleaned only once a day, drink and food service in all dining rooms were lengthy. Waits exceed 20 minutes to simply get a glass of wine, and coffee ...

This was my second cruise with Norwegian and probably my last. I let Norwegian book my flights to Fort Lauderdale and back home, big mistake, I will never let a cruise line book my flights again. I was booked on the first flight leaving for Florida that day and it got cancelled. Booked a later flight and the departure time got changed over a dozen times. This airline does not have a good ...

Valiant Crew Trying to Overcome Cutbacks

Overall, the cruise was enjoyable. The crew did their best despite recent staffing cuts. Ship’s officers (with a few exceptions) appeared wanting. One of the notable positive exceptions was Marites Sonza, who appeared to be everywhere attempting to make sure everything was flowing smoothly! A great itinerary was reduced by two desirable port calls being eliminated (explanation sounded like ...

I chose this cruise since the Panama Canal was a bucket list along with going to Panama, Costa Rica and other countries. I booked this cruise April 2022. Approximately 10 days after final payment a new itinerary was sent out taking away Nicaraqua, Costa Rica and our 1 1/2 day in Panama reduced to 4-11 PM. No reason for this dramatic change and Acapulco and Ocho Rios was put in as replacements. No ...

We recently sailed on the bliss through the Panama Canal. From L.A. to Miami. Norwegian picked us up at the airport. The Staff were still learning the ropes. Some confusion about where to board the bus to the ship. Had to walk to a second area to reach the bus. Only one person was injured boarding the bus. As usual there were a lot of people waiting to board the ship. Embarking was not ...

The Good The Bliss is a beautiful ship. All the onboard staff were friendly and helpful. The adult pool is heated to a comfortable water temperature. I went down the waterslide with a raft and it was the smoothest ride I have been on. Don't go on a crowded day because there is about 3 minutes between each rider. So 20 people in line means an hour wait. The rafts are brought up mechanically so ...

We have sailed with Norwegian about 7 seven times. Our most recent cruise on the Norwegian Bliss which left Miami on 12/17 and returned on 12/24. Our first stop was Roatan, Honduras. I know that NCL cannot control the actions of those living in Honduras but the people inside the port area were very aggressive. They were short of touching us, approached us asking many questions, leading us to ...

Embarking was a breeze they had it all together but disembarking was a HOT MESS one of the links wasnt working so everyone had to pour out of 1 door. The boat is new and clean - the observation room is AWESOME and I liked H20 the adults only area - except no one enforced "adults only" and even with a sign people brought their kids to the adults only area until someone would complain and they ...
