Norwegian Bliss Cruise Reviews - Reviews

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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).

Find another option! This one misses the mark at every level.

My husband and I have cruised over 13 years and I would have to say this was our big trip only to be disappointed! This cruise was the worst we have taken! The customer service was terrible, short port of calls, internet and tv out most of the cruise, paid for specialty dinning we could not get reservations from day one. Cancelled port of call in Canada which I really wanted to visit. Internet down would not allow to disembark. Disability assistance was non-existent!

I am a little torn of the whole cruise. The food was "okay" and not really, really great like people talk about. This was probably because I was really looking forward to the Q and it was a bad experience of food. The Teppinaki (sp) was VERY fun and the best food on the entire cruise!!

My cruise met expectations. The port times were too short unfortunately. Entertainment was great but food could have been slightly better. Had a great time.

Great cruise! It's what we expected as far as how Norwegian runs their program. The trip was awesome and definitely a bucket list item!
