Just returned from a 7 day NCL Bliss cruise departing Seattle and return. Two negatives: 1) too many kids running amok on the ship. Irresponsible Parents, we are not your babysitter. 2) Too little time in ports. Everything else was excellent!

Review summary

Everything was excellent except for the unsupervised children and teenagers who were running amok around the ship when at sea. And our time in all ports could have been extended. All staff were very helpful and professional even though we were over 90% capacity.
