Great crew and beautiful ship spoiled by cold food and noise. by txjorda

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Bliss / Destination: Alaska - Inside Passage

This was our first cruise and an anniversary. We won't do a ship this large, too much humanity and noise. Food was disappointing but time in ports great, just want more time. Norwegian crew and staff impressed. Not a shopper, so was not happy with the amount of events on board surrounding this. But again was not sure what to expect. We probably won't cruise again with Norwegian until we try other smaller ships/lines.

Glacier Bay Stunning by Pam3879

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Norwegian Bliss / Destination: Alaska - Inside Passage

I did like it, we got sick on the one day. High winds and the ship rocking. The food was great, we had a couple iffy days. We had a small breakfast and snack place on our deck, the observation area on 15. And what was the banging almost nightly at 2 in the morning????? Bring earplugs. Get a balcony period end of story....Balcony is the best, or if you are rich the Haven. Starbucks prices are pretty much the same as home…go for it

Needs improvement by hollygeno

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Bliss / Destination: Alaska - Inside Passage

Food and drinks could have been better. You need to have bar service around the hot tubs, we had to get out and get our drinks every time. Also they need to have bartenders that can make better drinks. Never had a good martini or lemon drop. Also some bartenders didn’t know what a apple tini was.

NCL was good overall. We will definitely cruise with them again but be a little more aware of our stops for time planning.

Beautiful Glaciers and Great Weather! by Jrprez

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Bliss / Destination: Alaska - Inside Passage

Overall we enjoyed our cruise, but since we did miss a port, it felt 2 days too long. We had 2 full sea days and were kind of going stir crazy by the end. Food was not the best and I wish they had more non-cost related activities. It feels like they Nickle and Dime you to death and are constantly trying to sell you something. Art, Jewelry, Bingo Cards, Deal or No Deal Cards, Excursions, Spa Services, Port Shopping, Specialty Dining, Racetrack and Laser Tag, Extra Cost Shows, and on and on.

Alaskan Bound by jade12

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Norwegian Bliss

Overall our family had a great time. We saw lots of whales, and cruising through the inland passage is breathtaking. A must-do is to find an area in the observation room, and camp. (Especially if the weather is inclement) With Food stations and Bars, spread throughout, you can just relax and enjoy the views in the comfy furniture. Bring binoculars!

Good Alaska Cruise on NCL Bliss by FMClark

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Bliss / Destination: Alaska - Inside Passage

Overall great Cruise. Alaska is beautiful to visit. For me the large ship experience is not as good as smaller ships but that’s a personal preference.

NCL Bliss September 1, 2019 by Greatdanelover

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Norwegian Bliss

I just got off the Bliss this past Sunday and wanted to share my perspective of the cruise as a whole. From start in Seattle getting on the ship was a breeze at my 10:30 am check in time. Was on the ship enjoying a drink and lunch by 11:30 at Margaritaville. Got into our rooms by 1pm and had time to unpack and enjoy the room then explore the ship. Getting off was equally as easy - no issues or waits Had dinner at Cagney's and it was okay - but not the best steak I have had and my daughter had the lamb - it was a tad overcooked but she said it tasted good but not the WOW we were expecting. That WOW moment came when we ate at Food Republic- do not miss out on this restaurant OMG it was soooo good and the staff were the bomb! We liked it so much we used out last specialty dinning to go back so we could try other items on the menu and were equally wow'd the 2nd time. Taste and Savor were excellent for breakfast and lunch or dinner...great staff - always got a window table. Never made it to Manhattan - Taste and Savor were always close and available. We did the buffet but it was just okay and always crowded so we stuck with Savor or Taste. Jersey Boys are a must see as well as the new show SIX- it was awesome. Also don't miss out on the comedy club - too funny. The shore excursions thru the ship were a breeze to get were we were going and we had an awesome time with the Whale watching in Juneau - even had time to walk around the city and go to the haunted Alaskan Hotel & bar. The River Jet boats in Haines was unbelievable and so much fun. we even saw a big bull moose. In Ketchikan we did a private tour that was so much fun...check out Ketchikan Adventure Tours - reasonable and so much fun going off the beaten path. In posts before I left people were complaining about the elevators but we never had an issue at all - I think we waiting at most 2 minutes one time. If you cant handle that wait then take the stairs Wifi was sketchy at times but then again your in the middle of the ocean - lol In port connections were never a problem. My cabin was 13208 mid ship balcony and loved it - very spacious and comfy. even on the one night the sea was a little rough we didn't feel it in our cabin. Only one thing that bugged me a little was people on board lounging and sleeping with shoes and socks off in the Observation Lounge - didn't matter if it was day or night. So I just stayed away and enjoyed the adult only back of the ship in Spice H2O - the hot tubs were never crowded and the servers at the bar were awesome. Saw a lot of whales from the hot tubs too! My frame of mind was no matter what I was going to have a good time regardless of weather or any unforeseen problems. Go with that mindset and you will have a blast!! Take this cruise on this ship

Buyer beware of "buy one get one" airfare promotion! by Charclevenger

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Bliss / Destination: Alaska - Inside Passage

Beware that if you book using the buy one get one airfare promotion, they will book a terrible flight for you and tell you they can't adjust it, it's just part of the promotion. Be prepared to sit in airports for MANY hours. I'm a long time Norwegian customer but not anymore after this experience.

Spa suite by matthewradecki

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Bliss

From board to disembark the staff was fantastic. The main pools are heated. I love the fact you can get 2 drinks at a time. I did not like you they charge you for bottled water even if you had a drink package. The views are amazing, get a professional camera. Bring binoculars. Your internet will not work at glacier bay. The specialty restaurants were good. Ocean blue and the pasta place were just ok and not spectacular. The spa is a must with hot rooms, salt rooms, heated lounge chairs. Our king mattress was extremely hard and we were in a spa mini suite. Take your time, go out of your comfort zone and have the time if your life!
