Review summary

A great cruise for traveling solo that was made even better by Jose and the friends I made who were also traveling solo.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Very fast. It took about 20 minutes from entering the building to the waiting area.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Try the hummus in Savor The buffet was very busy port mornings but I took my plate downstairs to the Observation Lounge where it was easy to find a seat with a table.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Happy Hour Probitian was fantastic. Jersey Boys was the best of the shows. Havana had good music and the costumes were beautiful but the story was hokey.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Jose the Solo Host was the best on the ship. Anything that the group wamted ge arranged for us. Even if the scheduling said full. If you are a solo travelor, go to the afternoon meet up.

I was in one of the studio cabins and while small did not feel cramped. There was lots of space for one person.

I applause anyone for traveling solo. Sounds like you were able to connect with fellow cruisers and had a great time. My family and I are considering doing an Alaskan cruise next year. I'll be on the Bliss in November for Thanksgiving.
