Review summary

Nice experience but disapoointed by the lack of ballroom dancing; no more dance floor and music in the Manhattan. Bridge teacher could not teach, although good at organising duplicate. Would like more ping pong. Staff very friendly and helpful. Thank you

Table tennis tournament only once on programme. Very easy to organise, chance to meet other players. Just had ping oong all day on programme on other days. Not enough places for ballroom dancing on the ship. Dance floor not in Manhattan dining room - very disappointing. Had been promised to us.

It’s because they are still working too get the cruise ship ready and all done that’s why there was no dancing.....

So there is a ping pong table on the Bliss? One of the couples in our group will love that!

Never been on the Bliss, but both Escape and Getaway had dancing on non show days during later dining hours in the Manhattan don't room. It wasn't announced or on the planner, a band was just there.
