The worst cruise vacation that I ever had. The ship was too big, understaffed and they have no smile on their face, always have a hard time finding a table at the Garden Cafe, long lines waiting for shows, basically everywhere

Norwegian Bliss

8 Night Bahamas & Florida (New York Roundtrip)

Sail date: December 20, 2019

Ship: Norwegian Bliss

Traveled as: Couple

Reviewed: 4 years ago

Review summary

The ship was understaffed, the staff hardly has a smile on their face. The food in Manhattan Dining were very salty. I would like to have a relax vacation but instead I am waiting in a long line for shows, always have a hard time finding a table in Garden Cafe. The lounges were too small and there were no floor space for people to dance.

It was too windy, the ship was unable to operate the tender, therefore the port was cancelled and we did not get to go to Great Stirrup. This was our 42 cruises, the first time got cancelled due to a tender.

I cruised the bliss last year around this time and absolved it. The food was excellent and the prohibition show was great.

If this was the first time after 42 cruises that you missed a port you’ve been darn lucky,! And I would think after 42 cruises you’d have done your homework on the ship, size, layout, etc. and know what you were getting yourself into.
