Review summary

We went on this cruise as part of our honeymoon. It was beautiful! Vancouver was rainy, so bring ponchos and an umbrella or else you'll pay an arm and a leg for them there. There are two seasons in Vancouver.... wet and slightly less wet. Make sure you check out the totem poles! Victoria we decided to go off the beaten path and drove up into the highlands to admire the local hikes. If you didn't check out the totem poles in Vancouver, this will be your last chance! Take some time to walk around fisherman's wharf too! Both days at sea were SO relaxing! The pools were perfect and there was plenty of seating! Hardly anyone got into the pool, so it was nice and roomy! We did not have enough time in San Francisco. Just a couple hours to walk around. Plan to get off the ship late. That way it doesn't ruin your time. The line to get off the boat started by the back stairs and wound all the way to the front stairs. Plan to wait. Plan to wait. PLAN TO WAIT. The room was lovely! There was a weird smell to the corridors to the room. But it smelled like some sort of cleaning products. Weird, but clean. Overall, I plan on boarding the Norwegian Bliss again. It was a wonderful experience. The entertainment was great. The service was great. I can't wait to go back!

Ship tip

Make reservations early! This is a big ship and almost everything needs a reservation. Might as well get them in early!

Our time in this port was shortened due to tidal activity. I wish I could spend more time in this city, because it was beautiful and totally worth it!

Since this was the first port back in USA, you will have to go through immigration. We woke up at 5 AM to watch the boat go under the Golden Gate Bridge and port. We did not get out of the port building until 1 PM. We had to be back by 5 PM. This caused us to have to rush our independent shore excursion.
