Would highly recommend Norwegian Cruise Lines and of course the Bliss. Already booked our next years' cruise on the Epic. Looking forward to it already.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Went smoothly without any problems. The longest wait which was less than 5 minutes was after receiving my group number ticket and waiting to be called. Total time from curb to ship was less than 30 minutes.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Did not have a bad meal or even a bad experience at the buffet. We experienced both (buffet and dining room) multiple times and even hubby who is picky enjoyed both.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
Loved the go carts. Disappointed in the drop slide because I got stuck in it, My fault though as I already knew there were issues with women's bathing suit skirts and I should have made sure I was completely wet first because it did hang me up. Enough activities to keep you busy throughout the day if you wanted to stay busy.
Bliss Speedway
5 out of 5
Loved this. The only wait was because we wanted our whole group to go together and two of us did not have appointments. Highly recommend everyone get an appointment and make sure to wear closed two shoes. It is a requirement.
Bliss Casino
4 out of 5
Loved the people and staff we had the pleasure of interacting with. The only issue we had was getting the bar servers to come to us while we were at the tables. It was very frustrating as one night it took almost 2 hours to get something to drink.
Mandara Spa
5 out of 5
Cannot say anything bad about this location at all. We had an appointment for 4:15pm but hubby got sick. I showed up for my spa 1/2 hour later and they graciously took me without any questions and was having my spa treatment within 10 minutes of arriving.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Saw both The Jersey Boy's and Havana and loved them. They did a great job. Even the bar staff was on point to ensure we had our drinks if wanted.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Absolutely nothing to complain about with any of the ship personnel. Everyone always went above and beyond for us.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Still a new ship and it looks like it. Beautiful inside and out. I only had one issue with the paper towel dispenser in the rest room but heck it could have been user error and probably was.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Pleasantly surprised on the size. From the videos I watched it did not appear to be any bigger than a balcony suite. The bathroom was huge and loved the shower. The double sink and the shelf above the sink is in my opinion what made the bathroom better. More room for storage and to place things.
Ship tip
Make sure to pack your walking shoes and your patience. There are only two banks of elevators on the ship for passengers to use and it can be wait to get them especially when you are going ashore.
Great location. We did a snuba adventure and everyone was over the top nice and helpful to us. Looking forward to going back and seeing more of the island.
No issues at all. Put our bags out the night before. Got up in the morning, out of the cabin by 9am and sitting in the buffet with breakfast and friend. We even had to be told it was time to go. :( They were not mean about it as we were trying to soak up the last few minutes. Walked right off the ship, grabbed our luggage and was in an Uber within 15-20 minutes top.
