Review summary

I’d give the Bliss 4.5 stars as a gorgeous ship with many wonderful aspects. Great specialty dining, tons of bars, good shows, the Observation Lounge, better pool options than past NCL ships, etc. Thus was our 6th NCL cruise in less than 3 years and the two on the Escape were hands down our favorite. The rooms and colors are gorgeous and it definitely has a classy vibe. Found it more difficult to get booked into the comedy shows (filled within 2 hours of embarking) which is a staple of our week. Someone mentioned it seemed the entertainment closed shop earlier and we definitely felt that as well. Love NCL, love free style cruising and already booked on the Mexican Riviera cruise October 2019. If they would add an Observation Lounge to the Escape, I think I’d book the Escape all the time since they also have Howl at the Moon and 5 o’clock somewhere bar. We did like Q and went there twice (I say this as a Kc girl that lives bbq). Our two favorite bartenders were on the Bliss so that’s why we booked it. We aren’t the “have to go on the newest ship” people but in this case I’d prefer the still relatively new but broken in Escape.

How do you make reservations for the comedy club? Are they made through an app? This is our first Norwegian cruise. I was a little surprised at the we have to make reservations for the comedy show.
