Review summary

Alaska was breathtaking and amazing to see! But the cruise at times got boring during the day. It seemed like all the activities we were interested in went on at the same time or the Atrium would be way too full! Bliss needs a bigger area other than just one theatre for trivia and other shows. The elevators were smaller on this boat which was odd for a bigger boat and pretty much impossible to get on. The food was amazing!

Upsetting that bowling, laser tag, go carts was extra and not included after already paying a great amount for this cruise.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The shows were fantastic but we did not like that you had to reserve shows and comedy. We didn’t get to see one comedy show to them being booked up so fast. Luckily, I booked Havana and Jersey Boys 50 days prior to sailing.

It was hard to find anywhere to put our suitcases. It was also very hard to find our room everyday. The numbers and signs were very confusing

Ship tip

Everything is more expensive on this boat than others I’ve been on. Book shows way in advance

Wish we could have spent more daytime here. It was 9pm before we could go into port and we had to walk in dark neighborhoods to get to downtown

Thanks for sharing your cruise.

Suitcases go under the bed. Lots of room. I agree about Victoria but is only because you must visit a international port. Do a 1 way and avoid the short port times. Full day in each port.
