Review summary

Seemed like the buffet was for older people (older than us). Fruit was always honeydew and watermelon. (allergic to these). Deserts were very bland. One pizza station. Cheese, pepperoni, Various. Overall I will not go on this ship again.

Embarkation

Set up well and quickly checked in after arrival at the terminal.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

They ask about food allergies before any dining packages. Cagney's was EXCELLENT. Buffet was very bland. I have been on other cruises but burgers and fries not good.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Shows were excellent. Sitting on the top deck was fun. All the little tables were stacked by the race track. must have been a thousand there in a cargo net. Virtually none in the sitting areas

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Room steward was great. NO TOWEL ANIMAL's. NO ICE IN ROOM. Great bartenders. Great waiters at Cagney's. Q not very good.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

The ship is just beautiful. But restrooms were a little hard to find in public areas. Seemed like less than other ships from NCL. All were clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

TV programming poor. 4 news channel's, 2 - 24 hour soccer channels :(. Room just like others. Cold on open decks for 3 days leaving New York and returning.

Ship tip

Go out of Miami or in spring and early fall.

Reading reviews like this is fun. I can't decide if I should take them seriously.

A decent rating along with “I will not go on this ship again” I’m not sure these reviews are helpful for anyone

Not sure how a buffet is for older people. They serve melons because they last longer than other fruits.

wonderful cruise on Norwegians big ship Bliss

My worst trip ever. Staff was poorly trained. Not enough staff.

Ok but food selection was terrible
