Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Cagney's was our favorite dining experience. Ocean Blue also had a delicious meal. The old standby favorites like the Local, Savor and Taste were just as good. The new Q Texas BBQ was a treat. Be sure to try the smokehouse sample platter.

Everytime I walked paste the casino, money seemed to escape my pocket...

Entertainment

Be sure to see Jersey Boys! The Beatles tribute show in the Cavern Club is also a great show

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The Bliss crew went above and beyond. It didn't matter which restaurant, bar, show venue or services you visited, they entire crew were eager to please and serve you.

Ship Quality

Perfection! Every where you went you already ran into a crew member cleaning or sanitizing. 👏👏👏

Ports of call

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

4 out of 5
We did the snorkeling and whale watching trip. 17 miles to an island national park where we snorkeled. We saw several whales from near and far. The excursion charter was excellent. We had a great time. Our excursion included lunch and adult cocktails

Puerto Quetzal, Guatemala

We did the safari tour. Disappointing drive through a run down game farm. There was a small zoo at the end of the tour we visited.

Cartagena, Colombia

2 out of 5
Not the best shore excursion. The tour of the old walled city was good. However, the constant panhandling of trinket peddlers made the sightseeing less than enjoyable

Puerto Caldera, Costa Rica

4 out of 5
We did the botanical gardens excursion. A nice 1/2 in the rain forest on top of a mountain
