We have taken multiple cruises on Azamara, Celebrity and others over the years. This was our first NCL cruise since the early 2000's. We wanted a cruise that left from a West Coast port and went somewhere warm. We chose between this and smaller ships making essentially the same trip from Celebrity, Holland Cruise Lines and a couple of others. Boy, what a mistake.
Just a couple of things to know ...
My wife and I have done this itinerary a few times on NCL and other cruise lines but this the first time we have sailed on the Bliss and would sail on it again. Any cruise on the west coast is a bonus for us and the transfer from LAX to the cruise port went smoothly. The cruise port was another story though expected I suppose with 4000 passengers being herded through the embarkation process. ...
Anniversary vacation. First time cruising with NCL and we really enjoyed it. Overall we spend a little over $4000 the whole week for both my husband and my self. which included 3 spa treatments, portraits, excursions, unlimited drinks (alcohol and specialty coffee drinks), gratuity, unlimited wifi, and a balcony stateroom. We took advantage of our drink package getting Starbucks coffee’s every ...
Let the Bliss Begin April 3, 2022 – April 10, 2022
This long awaited vacation is here, Lydia had taken care of all reservations, transfers so all we had to do is show up and go along for the ride. It was an eight day cruise to the Mexican Rivera. Ports were Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlán, and Puerto Vallarta. We flew out of New Orleans to Los Angles, where a transfer bus took us right to the ...
This was our first cruise since Covid, and we had never experienced a cruise to the Mexican Riviera. We had a wonderful experience with just a few glitches.
1) The ship itself is gorgeous, lots of attention to details, beautiful artwork and sculptures.
2) The staff, 100% of everyone we encountered, went out of their way to make you feel welcome. I’ve done many cruises and have always run ...
Loved this cruise. We loved being back on a cruise ship again. Getting on and off the ship in LA was slow. Slower than other times In this location. Once we got through the vaccine and shot verification, it was much better. It was also so slow getting off the ship. Masks were required getting on and off the ship.
Food was excellent. We loved the spa and went everyday. The port stops were ...
This was our 51st cruise and our first on Norwegian. Started cruising in the 90's and never heard anything good or anyone recommend Norwegian. I'll set the record straight at least for our cruise in the Haven. This cruise exceeded our expectations. Our recent cruises (all were in suites) were on Celebrity Millennium (Aug 2022), Ovation of the Seas (Sept 2022) and Allure of the Seas (Oct 2022). ...
Just got off the Bliss on March 27th. We had a great time. Service was awesome everywhere we went. The ship was about half full. We were in cabin 10918 aft cabin. Very large with a large balcony. I wish there was more storage in the bathroom.
Specialty dining we did Le Bistro, Ocean Blue, Cagneys, and food Republic. Food republic is known for sushi but they have lots of other vegan and ...
After a very lengthy hiatus, we decided to consider cruising again. First we narrowed down a destination and time and then researched online and compared options. Our decision finally came down to the recommendation of trusted friends who had cruised on Norwegian ships a number of times in recent years. Happy to report we were not disappointed with a single thing on our Mexican Riviera cruise on ...
17th cruise, 12th on Norwegian, 2nd on the Bliss. My wife and I enjoy cruising to exotic destinations but decided to make a last minute booking on the Bliss to escape the cold and rainy weather of the Pacific Northwest. We previously sailed on the Bliss to Alaska and I thought very highly of the ship and its crew.
Things I liked on this sailing: The crew was friendly and for the most part went ...
