Review summary

Nice cruise. Just disappointed in the new ship compared to activities available on the Escape and Getaway. Very disappointed that I had to pay extra for those onboard activities. I already payed a fortune for the cruise and then they expected me to pay another $200/child for ability to do unlimited go carting. Or $175/person for unlimited video games. Or $200/person for unlimited laser tag. Insane. Won't go on this ship again.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

My 13 and 10 year old boys were very disappointed that the Bliss does not have basketball court. No physical activities for the boys. Race cars (8 laps) and laser tag both cost $10/person every time. Race cars and laser tag take about 15 minutes to do then what does one do the rest of the day for physical activities. You can buy an unlimited for $200/person. No free activities outside of splash academy and Entourage. Oh there is a 5 hole mini golf if you can find where it's hidden on the ship. Only 2 water slides.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

There is entertainment but nothing kid friendly. Shows are very adult-content orientated.

Typical small interior.

Ship tip

Make sure you are prepared to spend a lot of extra money for onboard activities, as everything on this ship costs extra.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5

Carried off own luggage. Such a long, tiring process with immigration. As Canadians we had to go through separate disembarkation process. Makes for exhausting morning.
