Review summary

The Bliss is a wonderful ship and Alaska is extremely beautiful, even majestic. We enjoy the cruise. Everyone should visit this lovely and remote place. We were recommended by friends to winter clothes and rain gear but the weather cooperated and it was sunny and 60 degrees every day. It never rained. We saw snow covered mountains, lots of bald eagles and the tail of a whale. Loved every minute!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Room steward was first class, waiters and other ship personnel were always friendly and help full.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship was very clean and well maintained. I prefer smaller ships but this large one was well designed. I like that the casino had an enclosed area for smokers so nonsmokers did not have to inhale second hand smoke.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Excellent. We were three adults in the stateroom and had no problems. Loved the bathroom.

Ship tip

Visit Ocean Blue restaurant.

Disembarkation is always the lowest point on any of our cruises. If one is going straight to Seattle airport, the Transfer from Pier is worth taking.
