Review summary

The ship feels way to small, narrow halls etc. The main dinning room didn’t have specialty meals like prime rib. That was only served in the buffet. I loved the lounge on deck 15. The best part of the ship. Overall I was dissipointed with the ship and wouldn’t pick it again intentional.

Cabin / Stateroom

It was the smallest cabin we have ever been in. We often get an inside cabin it helps cut costs and we can cruise more. I think it was like 135sq ft in comparison to 160 on most other ships. It’s easy to tell how they were able to accommodate more passengers.

Hi berto, They let you reserve tickets for Havana, Jersey Boys, and Prohibition. Everything else has to wait until you board including laser tag, and go carts.

How far in advance can you reserve entertainment tickets? What about laser tag go cart track?

Your cabin was for a single person not for two people.

We were fortunate to sail on this beautiful ship 8/25. Even if you did not reserve seats you can standby. Friends that were with us did standby twice and got right in. If you book with a TA you can usually find offers for Specialty dining and or the Ultimate drink package which makes cruising way more enjoyable. Love the Bliss going again soon!
