Review summary
Although we were looking forward to the Bliss, turns out they just put too many passengers on it for comfort or safety. The service in the dining rooms was consistently much much slower than we have ever had on any cruise before (10 or 11) and this was frustrating. Also, most public areas were just way too crowded and noisy to enjoy. The exercise room was overcrowded, with waits for the machines. Even the "library" had no comfortable chairs (it was combined with the game room -- bad idea.) They made a larger ship, but sacrificed passenger comfort in the process. And it was more expensive than other 7-day cruises that were more enjoyable -- so what's the upside?Embarkation

Ship tip
Don't! You should pick a smaller ship. Everything was crowded and noisy, with long waits for food in the dining rooms, and long waits to get off the ship (we had to bail on waiting to get off at Victoria because of the long lines, so missed that stop completely, as it was only a 4-hour stop. Disappointing.
