Alaska is beautiful! A must go. Choose a different cruise line other than Norwegian. The port stops are much shorter than other lines. Ship is too big, too many people trying to get off which took forever. Then you had to wait on busses or shuttles.

Review summary

The cruise ship is beautiful! Staff is phenomenal! Food mediocre. Drinks were good. Can't have canned soda unless you pay for it or they open it. The coffee is terrible! The balconies & views are great. Port times were horrible. Need more time for a ship that big. It's not fair to the customer to pay thousands of dollars and not get to enjoy anything because it's all booked up. They need to work on a few things. We are very disappointed.

Not very good. Just mediocre. You will find something for everyone but not worth your money spent

Onboard Activities

I'm sure they were fine if we could have done something. Too crowded or already booked. Pre book everything asap

This cabin is in a great location for everything! Near the elevator but far enough away from the noise.

Sorry your cruise was too crowded to properly enjoy all the amenities 😕

I was on the Bliss the week before your trip. The coffee did seem unusually weak, now that you mention it! Did you try walking-in as standby for the shows? On my sailing the shows did book up but they let people walk-in about 10 or 15 minutes before showtime, since there were always some reservations who no-showed.
