Norwegian Bliss Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Ship was supposed to go to Mexican Rivera. Due to a Hurricane, we were diverted to San Francisco, San Diego and Ensenada. Needless to say, we were not dressed for the cold weather in San Francisco. We should have been given the option to take the cruise while in port. We are certain they knew that they were not going and decided to inform us an hour out of the harbor. I guess profits vs a loss of profits that dictated what they did. Management is not willing to work with any of our 18 passengers. The ship is new and nice. Had some issues with cleanliness of the cabin upon arriving and the lack of personality of one of the dining room waitresses. Other than that, the food was good, shows were excellent and plenty to do on board. Many of us never got off the ship, as a number of people lived in San Francisco and San Diego in the past and had no desire to revisit them.

A bad vaca did not go to the ports thumping in the room all night from them prower washing at night no one would help shut down some of the ship for big group when we went to other ports only one Excursion on each Port hop on hop off bus I know I should be happy that we did not get hit by hurricane but ncl should have gave me a chiice I booked this cruise 14 months ago bur they were great and did not want no one to cancel so this is a bad cruise the only bright spot was the entertainment

Ship is beautiful, clean, modern and friendly staf, needs more entertainment, the food was very good in speciality restaurants, complementary ok very poor menu, buffet is good but no variations every day the same.

Overall is good for our first cruise, except the detouring part which is very, very disappointing, because we spent big money and want to see Mexico. It is difficult for us to take 3 week vacation. This could be a trip of our lifetime. We truly believe the cruise line should compensate the difference in price. It definitely not costing the same to San Francisco than to Mexico. It is not fair!!!

We had a nice relaxing cruise! The ship is beautiful. We were on it in August for an Alaskan cruise and loved it so much we booked this one. We have done this itinerary many times so we did not do any excursions. We did not even get off the ship in Cabo which was great because we had the hot tub to ourselves.

Ship is big and becomes a Human Zoo most of the times. Design is not impressive as lot of space is wasted or under utilized at the cost of rooms. Decor is average , nothing to be "bliss ed "about, as it is like any other ship. Sad that the revenue is generated by nickle and dimming. Complain-they switched our stateroom without any notification, from 15th floor to 9th floor.

Wonderful vacation, beautiful ship, absolutely wonderful.

Overall, awesome! Would recommend to enlarge the smoking area by also allowing smoking in the exterior so the room is not so smoke congested.

Great experience and hospitality too! Thank you NCL

Beautiful ship, poor access to entertainment and children's program these venues were overbooked we were not able to see the top shows and our child was turned away to no opening in the children program. The staff were pleasant and friendly. Our cabin was beautiful the bed was uncomfortable. We will not be back.

Beautiful well appointed ship.. very clean... friendly staff ... more bartenders needed and more wait staff needed for pool service... Cagney's food was below average. Specialty dining not worth the extra cost and service was extremely slow. Also I do not recommend Wifi and internet package.... Excellent water slides and kid wet areas. The Spa was too large which in turn took away from the gym area.

Mazaltan port of call was canceled due to Hurricane Sergio, Port of Ensenada, very poor and run down area, not very clean.I think this port should be eliminated from itinary. Ship was beautiful, stateroom corridors were very narrow, could be a challenge for some people to navigate. Crew and Staff were very friendly and professional, lots of smiles, when I needed help they were very helpful.

I thought the ship was beautiful. Staff were amazing. I like going to the shows at night so was disappointed that they only had one big show. Pool are was small for a ship that size. They really need to add a second pool area on these size ships.

what we noticed for our first time cruiseing was the staff are all very happy very friendly, everyone would speak to you on there way past you. N.C.L.should check out this San Fran. tour/restaurant where we were upstairs and had to go by a service area with slippy tiled floor I had to warn our table.poor quality food. main item was noodles under cooked Luke warm served with broccoli.

We went on this cruise as part of our honeymoon. It was beautiful! Vancouver was rainy, so bring ponchos and an umbrella or else you'll pay an arm and a leg for them there. There are two seasons in Vancouver.... wet and slightly less wet. Make sure you check out the totem poles! Victoria we decided to go off the beaten path and drove up into the highlands to admire the local hikes. If you didn't check out the totem poles in Vancouver, this will be your last chance! Take some time to walk around fisherman's wharf too! Both days at sea were SO relaxing! The pools were perfect and there was plenty of seating! Hardly anyone got into the pool, so it was nice and roomy! We did not have enough time in San Francisco. Just a couple hours to walk around. Plan to get off the ship late. That way it doesn't ruin your time. The line to get off the boat started by the back stairs and wound all the way to the front stairs. Plan to wait. Plan to wait. PLAN TO WAIT. The room was lovely! There was a weird smell to the corridors to the room. But it smelled like some sort of cleaning products. Weird, but clean. Overall, I plan on boarding the Norwegian Bliss again. It was a wonderful experience. The entertainment was great. The service was great. I can't wait to go back!

I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed my first cruise. Not having experienced the age of cruising that didn't require reservations for everything or a cruise line where everything was included I was generally happy with the experience for the price of this cruise. The meals and entertainment at home alone would have cost as much as I paid per day. I can also see how some people don't like the big ships, because you likely won't see the same people over and over and won't make the same friendships like you would on a smaller ship or a cruise where you get seated with the same people for dining each day. I guess I don't know what I'm missing just yet.

Very disapointed..Boarding was awful. I have walking problems & we could not get a motor scooter when on board, FINALLY got one on third day, Weather awful. Ship was beautiful but the specialty restaurants were NOT good...beware! Everything cost $$$..very expensive trip.

The ship is great. But prefer the entert on the Breakaway ship. Many guest were disappointed. Seems like the focus is more on young and hip people, people with money. Did share with NCL about my observations on one of the game presenter. That person called himself the "Nasty Boy". He was crude, loud and inappropriate, making inappropriate comments to guests, touching, lot of sexual innuendo.

Great Cruise for couples if taken at the right time.

This was an exceptional cruise and ship. Staff were very professional and happy throughout. If I was to have a criticism, it would be that a couple of the staff on the last day of the cruise seemed to be over it and the service, speed of service and friendly smiles seemed to be less important. This was at the Maltings Whiskey Bar and the NCL Souvenir Gift Shop. The Casino wait staff was somewhat lacking in speed of beverage service but overall the Casino was great and we spent plenty of time there. Be patient at the elevators. There are 4000 people using them! Plenty of storage in the room and especially under the bed for suitcases. Specialty dining and Main Dining Rooms were great! Buffets, also very good throughout the cruise. Overall, a great cruise that I would definitely recommend to anyone.
