Review summary

The Bliss was perfect for my 1st time in Alaska. The itinerary was jam packed but I was prepped for it. The only thing that was not as helpful was the NCL onboard app. It was not as helpful as other cruise lines and the Wifi was spotty. But who goes on vacation for Wifi! The excursions thru NCL were terrific. the bus drivers and guides were helpful and friendly. The food was great - alot of options. We didnt have the dining package and were shocked at the specialty dining prices, I was not expecting that high of cost for dinner - I was used to the flat fee, but the main rooms were just wonderful instead. The shows were WONDERFUL. SIX was the best I have seen on the seas in a LONG time.

Loved the observation lounge - only downside is it was VERY hot. The heat was cranking in there - but it was Alaska!

The balcony is the only way to go in Alaska - being able to cruise the glaciers and waters and see whales from my balcony was perfect. made it wonderful.
