Review summary

We had a fantastic cruise. The Bliss is beautiful and well designed. We ate in 6 of the specialty restaurants and loved each of them. Be sure to have lunch at Margaretaville! The portions are huge and the staff is a lot of fun! We had a mini suite and found it quite comfortable. It was not much bigger than a regular balcony cabin inside but the bathroom was huge. We also had an extended balcony which we did not get to enjoy much due to the weather. The District Brewhouse is a great bar. Jim Badger performed there almost every night. He is so funny! I was worried about how this cruise was going to turn out after reading so many negative comments. Happy to report there were no problems at all! Great cruise...great ship!

We had a nice day before the cruise. The light rail is an excellent way to get into the city. We enjoyed the Public Market!

No one can control the weather but it was foggy with no visibility and our tour bus broke down. Minor problems but “dampened “ our port experience! 😁

We did not get off of the ship. We were there at night and had visited this city previously. Stayed onboard and enjoyed a nice dinner.

We had a great time too on the Bliss! It’s hard to please everyone. Some people should do more research to find the right ship for themselves. I can’t wait to go back!!

Thanks for the review. Going in November and like you I do get a bit concerned when reading many negative reviews.
