This journey on Nowegian Bliss through the Panama Canal was far and away my best Cruise experience thus far. The Haven afforded me the opportunity for a quiet, peaceful and very comfortable trip. I enjoy the isolation a great deal. On vacation I appreciate the absolute freedom to be interactive with others on my own terms. This Cruise let me do that in an extraordinarily lovely setting with beautiful views of a beautiful world

Food and Dining

Enjoyed Cagney's the most, but Le Bistro and Ocean Blue are also to my liking. I was a regular for early morning breakfast at Garden Cafe.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
Early morning walks are my thing. There were plenty of sunrise regulars who clearly felt as I did. I got to know the early morning ship's crew as well.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
The staff, especially those interacting with guests, were engaging, interesting and generally very kind. My favorite persons were my bartender and my room steward. They knew what they were doing and made me always feel welcomed.

Ship tip
If you are able to book a room in The Haven on Bliss, you owe that to yourself at least once!
I have been to Cartagena three times in this life, in Winter and in Summer. The colonial walled city is very attractive and historically interesting, but the weather is ALWAYS hot and humid!!!
I had the benefit of receiving a tour of the city and the area from friends. The effects of the American construction of the Canal on Panama endure for the well being and detriment of the region.
Appreciate your detailed review. Having a personal tour from friends is a fantastic luxury. The canal transit is a special experience. Glad you enjoyed your cruise.
