Review summary

I’m already planning my next vacation on the NCL Bliss.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

We booked a Haven Cabin. Embarktation took maybe 30 minutes. And that’s only because my husband had to have his documents verified.

American Diner

It was pretty windy, but a blast! The line to be seated was super quick.

Teppanyaki

3 out of 5

I read many reviews on how incredible Teppenyaki is, so I was looking forward to it.I am not a fan. The noise level was through the roof, which didn’t bother me but did bother some of the other guests. The food was tasty, but nothing exciting. The chicken and scallops were unevenly cooked. I still would have given at least four stars.It was the racism that left a bitter taste in my mouth. Belittling the Japanese and their culture is not my idea of fun. Maybe that was just our chef? If you do not handle loud noises well, stay clear. If you enjoy a celebratory atmosphere, you will probably enjoy Teppanyaki. Hopefully, you won’t have to deal with a racist chef.

Service and Staff

Our room steward, René, was so friendly and attentive. Our room butler (Haven Cabin), Shree, was very helpful. We were Cruise Newbies, he helped us navigate through everything.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Our cabin was amazing!!! Our balcony was so huge! We had a table and 2 chairs to eat at, plus two lounge chairs to relax in. There were 2 full bathrooms. The separate shower in the master bathroom had fantastic pressure. (I didn’t use the shower in the other bathroom). We even had a vanity in the bedroom.
