Review summary

I would say it was a wonderful cruise except for the disrespectful children and the parents of them. There were at least 50% of the kids with no manners or respect for not only the ship and its furnishings but other adults. The parents are right there watching them run around other peoples sitting areas and jumping on furniture and leaving bowls of ice cream in elevators and the parents could care less. I feel the crew should be able to tell the parents to calm and control their children. There should not be children allowed to sit at the bars or go to shows with inappropriate language. Those privileges are for adults There are plenty of activities that are there for kids and kid friendly areas but no place for adults to go where there are no children except for a smoking lounge. The main lounge should be for adults only or at least for children no younger then 12. Would I go again? Yes but I would try to find a ship that was a little less kid friendly.

We also cruise when schools are in session and avoid the summer cruises.

I would like to see a cruise line put out an adult only cruise that is affordable. Then again, I would love to see adult only restaurants as well.

Agree, seems like parents just let their kids run wild on a ship! We try to go when kids are in school. Also longer cruises don't seem to have as many kids. I have seen the crew try to handle kids but the kids are so disrespectful that they can only go so far. Most of the new ships have adult only areas. I'm ready for an adult only cruise!

We learned that if we cruise while school is in, there are less kids on the ship.

Alaskan cruise on Bliss

This was another wonderful cruise on a really spectacular ship (NCL Bliss)

Overall we did enjoy ourselves very much, but a few downfalls for such a beautiful ship.
