Review summary

I enjoyed and will travel with Norwegian again but a slightly smaller ship. The Bliss is like being at the mall on Christmas Eve there are so many people.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Thousands in line when we got there. I think there was some sort of port issue. We were travelling with 2 law enforcement retirees with PTSD who don’t do crowds well. Norwegian lady inside yelled loudly to get out of special assistance line which was embarrassing to my 6’5’ shaking spouse. (It did work out fine) Everyone else was great and they were given a separate muster drill away from the crowds.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
I found some corners were cut maybe due to size of ship. The chicken and shrimp bang bang meal I had on Star earlier in year was now Chicken bang bang. Little seafood except usually one fish offering nightly. The specialty restaurants were amazing. Too much food though. That’s not a complaint.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Tons to do...so much we didn’t get to everything. Full ship so a few things had no space left.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Six was amazing! Jersey Boys and Beatles tribute were also very good.

Service and Staff

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Too big. 4500 people is too many and will choose something a bit smaller next time. SO MANY PEOPLE!! Clean and gorgeous though.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Seemed a bit smaller than other balmy cabins we’ve had but very nice. Yay glass showers!

Glad you enjoyed, we were just on a RCCL with 4180 Passengers and we too determined we prefer a little smaller ship.
