We didn't spend much time at the pool. I was really disappointed in the bartenders and drinks there. There were plenty of chairs for lounging

Club level balcony. Bathroom was big. Shower was awesome. We had plenty of room for storage. Balcony was plenty big enough for two people

Disembarkation

This was a real mess. I know the ship had difficulty clearing customs which delayed everything. The line to walk off was so, so long. Also our ship card did not work in the morning to get coffee. We had to go to guest services to reactivate the card. I've never experienced this before

Great cruise on the Bliss to help beat the January Blues

I am not pleased at what I got and what I paid for and what I did not receive. Very unhappy. I would like someone to call me so I can go over all that went wrong. Thank you

Too crowded on the ship!
