Review summary

This was my first cruise and NCLmade it to be not my last. I love NCL. The free styling dinners were great. I overheard people say that it’s a problem with other CruiseLines. Always rushed.

Embarkation

For having 4000 + on board it went smoothly. They sure know how’s to do it.

The atrium is the happening place for games and fun.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Beatlemania live was excellent. Get there early or u won’t get a seat in the Cavern Club. Jersey boys were also excellent. And pay to see the Prohibition. Well worth it

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Putu was our cabin steward. Always had our cabin spotless. Very attentive. And at the atrium bar u will meet the best bartender EVER. Say hello to Yusof.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
very very clean. The only thing I would say that I didn’t agree with is that they say they built the Bliss with Alaska in mind, in my thoughts though is why they don’t have a covered pool? It was chilly some days but it probably won’t stop a child!!!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
I brought heavy duty hooked magnets that helped out a lot. There’s hangers, but not enough for everything we packed. But now I know what to bring and what not to bring! It was comfy for 2 but 3 would of been pushing it. Cleanliness is a given with NCL.

Ports of call

Seattle, Washington

5 out of 5
We stayed 3 days in Seattle before we sailed. We should of done after also. Space needle is a must there is a tour called Seattle Stalked I believe. I wish I would if known that way before we got there. It was a tour of the grunge music scene. Nirvana, Pearl Jam etc first played. That was sold out. Plan your visit and book that early.

Ketchikan, Alaska

The crab boil was yummy

Juneau, Alaska
