Norwegian Bliss Cruise Reviews - Reviews

This is not a ship for kids. This is a cruise for older folks period. There needs to be more entertainment at night. Thanks

Cruise was relaxing and fun. The Bliss is a beautiful ship, and the service was excellent.

I would never take this cruise line again! After enjoying cruises on Carnival, Royal Caribbean and Virgin Voyages, I was disappointed and frustrated with the poor quality of this cruise line. I have NEVER wanted to go home while being on vacation! Issues included: 1. I upgraded my internet package but was still unable to access my email or receive texts (even from others onboard). 2. My waiter from Cagney’s returned the wrong card to me and I assume he gave my room key to the person whose room key he gave me…?! 3. Our balcony neighbor was smoking but we were harassed when we complained and eventually had to move ourselves. 4. The sink in our room did not drain properly. 5. The rooms were not cleaned well - I found items from the previous occupants in our room! 6. The hours during which they serve food don’t make sense. Breakfast at the buffet ended at 9:30, which is way too early, and the only 24-hour restaurant won’t let you take food from the restaurant. Room service, which has a handful of items- requires a $10.95 surcharge, didn’t answer the phone in a timely manner and made me SiCK (see next point)! 7. I got FOOD POISONING FROM ROOM SERVICE AND WAS QUARANTINED WITH NO REIMBURSEMENT TO THE ACTIVITIES I HAD PAID FOR BUT HAD TO CANCEL. 8. When I went to medical onboard, the nurse took my blood pressure incorrectly (over my sweatshirt), didn’t take my temperature properly (missed my ear!), and couldn’t find my vein for my IV (I left without receiving this).

The ship was great, ports were nice and great entertainment was available. Nice to see many activities for children even though we did not have any on the cruise. Would do it again.

Overall our trip was very enjoyable. There were many great places to see and we learned a lot from the tours we went on. The food and drinks were good. Entertainment and activities on the ship were excellent, but space could have been better utilized to accommodate more people in smaller venues. The gentleman from planning future trips was extremely helpful. He was able to find a quiet area to accommodate my wife who has a hearing loss so she could participate in the conversation and have her questions answered. Our room was always clean and our cabin attendant Gerom always had a friendly greeting for us. Disembarkation was not well organized for those who had a tour. This was our first trip on a ship this large. Future trips will likely be on a smaller ship.

We will try a different NCL ship and either leave the 20 somethings home or make sure there are better activities for them. Still thinking we like RCL better but overall we had a great trip.

We love cruising and have been on a variety of brands. This was our 4th Norwegian. It will probably be our last. The magnificence of cruising was lacking on this ship. If I wanted a Las Vegas feeling, I’d go there.

Ports of call were great, transiting the Panama canal was a lifetime experience. Ship staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. And the activities were heavy on game shows, trivia, bingo and music. It was very little of educational nature in their schedule activities

This was the best cruise thus far. I do not recommend getting off the ship in Guatemala. Nothing to see or do unless you travel 2 hours in bus.

Ship and food were equal to or better than what we are used to. Embarkation and debarkation were the worst we have ever experienced.. We generally cruise Celebrity as a reference point.

Seeing Panama Canal was very interesting. Zip lining in Puerta Vallarta was fun. Guatemala was new for us and interesting. Overall we saw more ports on this cruise, and they were places that we hadn’t been to, so it was interesting

Cruising the Panama Canal is a must do in a lifetime thing. It is worth the money. I think a partial transit would be nice if you're looking for shorter, but full transit was a cool experience. I love NCL and cruise with them when I can. The Bliss is a great ship and I highly recommend.

Before you go try to research your canal crossing time. We started at 1:30 am and I was unable to stay up for the full crossing. A huge disappointment since this was the reason for the trip.

I'm glad I got to experience Mexico, Guatemala, Columbia and Panama. This is only the 2nd cruise I've been on and I don't think I'll ever travel with Norwegian again. There was not enough common spaces. Most shows were standing room only. We had trouble finding places to sit after we got our food. I enjoyed being in our group of people and got to know them better.

The cruise was pleasant overall. Some of the ports were terrible. My wife and I got COVID during the cruise. There was a lot of coughing...

Itinerary very interesting, boat very nice, food very good

Too many things to said! Most important is poor food quality, and some restaurants server are need improvement on their attitude and body language! They show you inpatient and don’t care!

not bad but expensive and not worth the price. room was small, internet was really really bad spent a lot of time at customer service.

Overall the cruise was great! The ship is very nice and all of the staff are super friendly and attentive to your needs. I will definitely sail with NCL again.

A great gruise to visit several ports and enjoy the beauty of Mexico. The staff and crew of the Norwegian Bliss was outstanding every step of the way. I had no issues, and will definitely book anoth cruise with Norwegian in the future.
