Nice ship, good entertainment, ok ports.
"Otherwise the 3 main dining rooms, plus the two free eating establishments and the buffet all had the typical cruise ship adequate food.It's also a long cruise, so with short port stays and days at sea you get plenty of time on the ship...."Read More

Just got back from a cruise (L.A. - 2 sea days - Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, Cabo, sea day, L.A.) on the Norwegian Bliss with wife and two teenaged daughters. It was all of our third cruise on Norwegian (we'd been to Alaska and another from New Orleans to Cozumel, Roatan, Harvest Caye, Costa Maya), so we had some level of expectation. We were in two balcony staterooms on deck 15, mid-port. ...

Even the engineer in our group wasn't completely wowed by the canal, we've cruised other canals, know how they work...other than the history and kinda cool engineering of recycling the water it wasn't that exciting and made us wonder why it was a "bucket list" thing for some. There are other smaller canals around the world that are much more fun to navigate because there are sights along the way, ...

Sailing on the Bliss for a 15 day Panama Canal cruise from LA to Miami. Overall the ship is very nice--well maintained and nicely appointed. Embarkation was smooth as butter--we bought the priority embarkation option and it really took us less than 10 minutes from drop off at the port to getting our keycards and getting on the ship. Dining options are plentiful with several specialty ...

Big Ship Issues

Quick holiday week getaway, itinerary wasn't important, chosen mainly for closeness to us (SEA - LAX) and low cost. Second time we've left out of "World Cruise Center, San Pedro" and both times embarkation was poorly organized outside the terminal, taking over two hours of waiting. Unlikely to use that port again. Bliss is a fine ship, but has big ship issues. SLOW elevator service. ...

We just returned from our Mexican Riviera itinerary on the NCL Bliss. The ship was great, try not to be discouraged by some of the negative comments people post. The ship was clean and our balcony stateroom, was great. Note - ask your cabin staff for a mattress topper (they have a limited number available, but it really made the bed more comfortable. And, don't miss Mark Klein, best comedian ...

Great Cruise; A Few Minor Concerns

We recently completed a 15 day Panama Canal crossing trip on the NCL Bliss. Overall, this cruise was an excellent and enjoyable experience. That said, some improvements could be made: Two excellent plays, “Jersey Boys” and “Six” were each shown 4 times. However, the ticketing computers indicted all shows were sold out the first night of the cruise. Given the theater seats nearly 1,000 ...

We sailed on the Bliss Jan 22/23 Los Angeles Round trip. The rumour was the boat was well over standard occupancy and was around 4700 people. Let’s start with the positives. Our room was outstanding, we have a four year old so we opted for the family ocean view room on deck five close to the kids club. This room is very spacious, well thought out storage and design wise and comes with a bath ...

We always wanted to cruise the Panamá Canal and for $1400.00 each for 15 days plus $150.00 onboard credit was very good value for a stateroom with a balcony. It was from Miami to Los Angelos. We flew into Fort Lauderdale which we are now glad about as apparently there are long queues at Miami airport and stayed at the La Quinta Inn. It was only $35.00 for an Uber to Miami from there, The hotel ...

The Panama Canal was on our bucket-list, and this cruise left from near our home... too easy. I traveled with my husband of 43 years. We have cruised many, many times, but this was our first NCL cruise. EMBARKATION: Our son-in-law dropped us off on the pier, and we rolled our bags (we each had one carry-on bag and one "personal item" bag - we traveled this way to make our flight home from Miami ...
