Review summary

This was my second cruise and I can only compared to my first one at the Escape. Even thou the Bliss was a brand new ship, the crew at the Escape was with a greater energy and super friendlier . Will I cruise again with Norwegian that is a total Yes! Bliss was good, I had lots of fun , the restaurant Los Lobos & La Cucina were excellent , the BBQ not so great...Havana Show was ok, Jersey Boys were excellent! The bartenders were great!! The merchandise deals wasn’t as great. I really will try the Bliss again as I didn’t get to go on the laser rag & cart race with my grandkids

Ship tip

Be aware of prices, discounts & your rights as a consumers - I noticed that I país way too much for this cruise and the prices went way down and my assigned Norwegian rep was no help what so ever. I found out someone else had a similar cabin paid way cheaper thank me and got lots of perks thru Costco

We drove from Vegas and left my SUV there . This port was not organized at all! Neither the day we left and disinbarcathin was even worse. And for the price we paid there should have been a better experience

It’s better to go with a good/reputable travel agent. They will always watch for price drops and give you the best deal. I loved the Escape. It was the first ship I cruised with Norwegian. The second one was the Getaway. Definitely enjoyed the Escape more. Next year I’ll be cruising on the Encore. One thing I might miss would be Spice H2O and the ropes course. The other NCL ship I want to cruise on is the Joy. It looks really nice and they have the exclusive Concierge staterooms.

We definitely preferred the Escape as well (just got off the Bliss yesterday) for several reasons but the first being Howl at the Moon. If they could add an Observation Lounge to the Escape, that would be the ultimate ship.

Last year we were on the Escape and we had a great time! Next month we will be on the Bliss! I hope the staff are as friendly as the Escape!
