Review summary

A solid 4 out of 5 stars is what I would give our cruise on the Norwegian Bliss. The ship was amazing, I think it was one of the newer, if not the newest in the fleet. It mostly lives up to that flagship status with some of the highlights being the food (go to Cagney's if you can afford it), the ship amenities (go karts are 100% worth it if you are a fast driver, slides are a blast, and the waterfront was also an awesome inclusion), and the overall energetic and positive vibe around. We even had one of the crew members become sort of a celebrity with his iconic washy washy song played all throughout the ship. However, there were some areas where our vacation fell short of expected. Getting everything planned for the trip was an absolute hassle as booking for most things (shows, specialty restaurants, go karts, and laser tag) required you to get to the ship as early as possible and wait in long lines. It turned out you could reserve these through certain TVs around the boat and your cabin as well, but this wasn't directly told to the passengers. The hassle could of easily been fixed if this information was distributed better to the passengers or just have passengers book online. In addition, the cruise skipped the port of Nassau due to high winds, but the blame doesn't go on NCL for that. I would for sure take a cruise on the Bliss again, but would hope that many of the organizational issues would be fixed before then.

What did you think of the balcony? We have this room booked. Also, is it truly a connecting room? Any issue with that?
