Norwegian Bliss Cruise Reviews - Reviews

I would recommend Alaska but on a different cruise line other than Norweign.

My main concern was they didn't stop in Juneau but still had to pay port fees. I asked about that a guest services and they gave me a card to email NCL The email address on the card was no good!!

Will never travel with Norwegion again, nothing for kids and they nickel and dime you at every turn. Like a lot of folks spend a ton of cash to be on the ship and it is mind boggling that they still try and milk you dry at every turn and i get it's a business but WOW.

first cruise experience. wish we could have enjoyed specialty restaurants at lunch. I learned a lot and would like to cruise again, at least I have some knowledge for the next cruise. It was a good time, can't say I got very much rest but it was enjoyable. Had fun and it was a great experience. Was grateful I did not experience seasickness, kind of enjoyed the sway. who knew!

This was my first cruise and it was a very good experience. My only issues were with the weather disrupting shore excursions (which is disappointing, but not something the cruise line can do anything about), and one of the shore excursions was briefer than promised.

The cruise was awesome, Overall a wonderful cruise. The open bar was nice, you could get two drinks at one time. No limit just fun. They had the same menu at most of the bars which was kind of lame compared to carnival every bar has a different menu. The main dining room took quite a bit of time to get your food but good nice people. The ship was clean, easy to navigate and amazing ports. If you are going to Alaska, I strongly recommend to get a balcony. So worth the views in the morning.

It was an enjoyable cruise, but with the weather making the pool area mostly unusable many areas of the ship were overcrowded. We have cruised on the Norwegian Escape, and it had more venues available than the Bliss.

Cruse over all was good. The medical staff dr j Andres was amazing. My wife got it and the staff was amazing they saved my wife's life. I can't thank them enough. THANK YOU VERY MUCH

The worse cruise I've been on. It was very disappointing that there was so many negative aspects of this cruise.

We totally enjoyed this Alaskan cruise, booked for our 45th wedding anniversary. The trip did not disappoint. It was our first cruise, and we would choose Norwegian again for future cruise opportunities.

I planned for more than a year for this trip, to have the excursions canceled ruined the trip. Much of Alaska was closed for the season, so no real food to experience or culture.

Glad we went but wouldn't go again. Staff, rooms, and food were great but the crowds and noise made it hard to enjoy. Observation deck was great if you went early. Too many people saving seats and sleeping when others could use the spot to enjoy the scenery.

For a first cruise experience, this wasn't bad. Most of the things that I didn't love were just rookie mistakes. If you're someone who doesn't care that much about the ports, this is a good cruise. This cruise is simply too short and too late in the season for people to get the Alaska experience, though. I'm not too upset about it, because I'd already had lots of experiences whale watching, seeing bears, visiting glaciers, etc, but I think I would have been disappointed if this was a bucket-list cruise for me. The Bliss is also just so large that getting on and off is a production for such short port calls.

Service on the Bliss is outstanding. Every staff member greets you. Like I was still it Texas. Since cruising is a hospitality industry, The Bliss could be the standard for other vessels to emulate. Nothing ever felt rote or stained. I know it is their job but they make you feel cared for.

Ive been to AK a few times. If you have never been go on Princess or Holland America. On those cruise lines you can go into town and do an excursion with better docks. On NCL you must choose between one or the other. Since we have been before and like NCL ships we dont mind.

NCL has become terrible. Constant upsells, reduced quality food, very limited restaurant hours, many if not all the premium deck & pool spaces on the ship require an upcharge to use. I have been on 8 cruises this is the 3rd and last on NCL.

The cruise was overall very good. But I could have used more time in the ports. There was hardly any time to go out and explore the towns. The most we had was 8 hours.

Way too crowded on the ship always wait in a line food was cold and buffet. Overall Xpress wasn’t the best.

This cruise had very limited times at the ports which I didn't like. We arrived at Victoria at night so there's minimal to do and I felt that we should of stayed longer at Juneau and Ketchikan.

Next time I’ll pay better attention to the length of the stop and closeness to towns. The ship was too big to be close, the bus shuttles were long lines, and the stops were WAY too short (especially taking extra time on bus rides).
