Review summary

Redemption for NCL. After an underwhelming cruise on the Breakaway, my wife and I were at the crossroads with Norwegian. This cruise was going to be the decider on whether we would vacation with them again. Well NCL, you can thank the Bliss. What a beautiful ship! No compaints other than booking the specialty resaturants. Great service, great food, great experience.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

The Port of Vancouver was by far the most organized embarkation we have ever experienced

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Standard restaurants and buffet were excellent. We also dined at Los Lobos, Q, and La Cucina. Again all food was fantastic and the food quantity at Q was enormous. No idea how someone could eat that much. Only downside was the inability to pre-book online and the scarcity of reservations available. We wanted to go to Cagney's but there was NO availabilty the entire cruise.
