Solid Cruise and a fun time

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

Embarkation was simple as the NCL app allows nearly all the steps prior to arriving. We arrived about 10 AM and since this was the first trip of the Alaska season, there were no passengers on the ship from a previous cruise. From baggage drop off to the waiting area was about 15 minutes. It would have been faster but it was clear that check in agents were being trained and were still learning the ...

We are pretty loyal to HAL, but this trip was an amazing value. My knees don't work right, so I can't "do" Alaska like I could have thirty years ago. My hope was to see as much as I could see from the boat. Our goal was quiet, decent food, decent service, and to take in some of the amazing scenery that is Alaska. We got that, and more! We scored a beautiful club suite-- more room than ...

This was our first cruise in twenty years and our first cruise on NCL. As we were celebrating our 40th anniversary we decided to splurge and book a Haven cabin and enjoy all of the benefits that go along with cruising in the Haven. Since this was a special occasion, we did book back to back weeks on the same ship with the second week also being in the Haven. In general, we liked the layout ...

Always a pleasure to visit Seattle, WA! As for the Bliss, we enjoyed our Club Balcony Cabin - plenty of room with large bathroom & tub. Just wish we had at least gone up to deck 10 when choosing our cabins. The kids and their mates had balcony cabins on Deck 9 also. Really liked the Observation Deck and the bar service there was excellent. You can see all around the ship (both sides and ...

Overall it’s a wonderful cruise. The boat is beautiful. Having never done Alaska we chose this boat because we were traveling with a 12 year old and it was newer than many of the other ships going to Alaska and had a lot more fun things to do on the boat. We ate at 4 of the specialty dining restaurants. The BBQ place Qi’s was terrific. Service was great, love country music (although by ...

The cruise was as expected, very nice boat. The room was way to small for 3 people. Loved the observation deck! Food seems to have gone done in quality. Excursions were very costly. The entertainment was good, we enjoyed the shows. Alaska is beautiful and we sure enjoyed the scenery and the wild life. I got really sick on this cruise, after day 3, I was in bed and was miserable, (this was not due ...

We chose this cruise because it was close to home and had an itinerary that allowed me to work a bit each day (plus I love Alaska!). Embarkation was super smooth, and the Haven departure lounge was wonderful. The Haven on this ship is the best by far. Service was impeccable, especially in the Haven bar and restaurant. The food was amazing, and we wished we had eaten in the Haven restaurant ...

I feel in the current travel/cruising environment that having appropriate expectations, doing your research, and understanding individual priorities (and picking a cruise line/ship accordingly) is the #1 key to having a good cruise experience. Therefore, this review is lengthy and detailed to clarify not only our experience, but also our expectations and travel priorities. Summary - we had a ...

Context: This was our first cruise so I’m sure we made lots of newbie mistakes, but we hope this will be helpful for anyone considering this specific cruise. Here is my review of the NCL Bliss Alaska cruise April 29 to May 6, balcony stateroom on deck 14 with the free at sea package - for your consideration. We don’t shop so I have no shopping advice except to say that if it says “made in ...
