Review summary

This cruise was a fifteen day eastbound full transit cruise through the Panama Canal from Los Angeles to Miami Beach.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Since this was the second cruise in a series of five back to back cruises, the embarkation process was a breeze and took less than an hour including a quick walk off the ship, into the terminal, cleared by customs and immigration officials and then a quick walk back aboard ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food in the main dining room and buffet was varied and delicious. The meals in the specialty dining venues (Cagney's Steakhouse, Los Lobos and La Cucina) were all exceptional with delicious food, excellent service and great atmosphere.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Enjoyed the Go-Karts, Miniature Golf, and Jacuzzis.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Jersey Boys The Musical AND SIX were both outstanding productions with talented casts. The acting, singing, dancing and choreography were all first rate. The productions made the most of the theater's limit space by utilizing practically every horizontal and vertical spaces available to them.

Crew and Staff were all friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, polite and prompt in their service

Gave it FIVE ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️STARS across the board. Completed survey on a phone so likely inadvertently hit the lower score on those two categories while scrolling through the survey. Been on the Bliss 133 total nights since she came into service. The Bliss is by far my favorite ship out of all the different Carnival, Holland, Norwegian, Princess or Royal Caribbean ships that I've been on in my 56 cruises.

I was wondering why you only rated service with 1 star if your comments said it was great. Same for embarkation 🤔. Great your cruise was enjoyable.
