My wife and I had a wonderful time on the Bliss. Kerry Tice of Enticing Tours did a fantastic job making this cruise a complete success. We would recommend Kerry Tice for your next complete successful cruise. The staff on the Bliss were friendly and helpful. You can not go wrong cruising on the Bliss.

We had a nice trip to Alaska on the Bliss. The Haven areas are wonderful - areas to lounge around, bar, dining, pool, hot tubs, staff. I would prefer that games, trivia were not set up in the Atrium. It makes it difficult to walk around the area when popular events are going on. I would like to see a separate line for Haven/suites at the guest services area (not everything can be handled by the concierge) I would like it if the Haven 2 bedroom suite was set up for 2 people in each area (rather than 2, 3, 1)

The Haven experience was exceptionally luxurious, pampering and comfortable. I did not want to leave the Haven Environment... Very relaxing! Room stewardess, Butler and Concierge Desk, welcoming and attentive. The Haven Specialty Restaurant had excellent service, the food tasty was very well prepared. Good selection for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. However I Would have like to see more choices or alternating menus.

The only negatives were that we didn't get go to the glacier but that was not anyone's fault. The check in process was extremely long considering that we had done all the the pre boarding things on the computer ahead of time.

We spent alot of time on the observation deck, the views were the best from there. Lots of bars and restaurants to choose from, our favorite was the Teppenyaki grill and Maltings bar. Lots of onboard entertainment, the shows in the atrium were fun to watch, most of the crew are very personable, and are eager to answer questions. The ship is newer, and the crew does a great job of keeping it looking that way

Very disappointing cruise. Reservation system didn’t always work. Customer service extremely rude. Everything was to run off of app, which never worked right. Staff was not rude but not friendly either. Food was ok and over priced. Water was an extra charge. Really felt like you were on Carnival Cruise lines. Several of the bars/venues were always closed for private events. Ship is large but felt small.

Excellent food. Ship decor was bland. Issues with reserving shows, etc. too burdensome to have to reserve so many things. Paid tour of ship was not very good and did not even go to bridge or other technical areas of ship. Guys were disappointed with this.

<div>We can recommend your line and this ship with the caviot that people need to be ready to deal with a whole lot of people and the consequences of dealing with so many people in a confined space. We recognize that much time and effort by a lot of people on the ship made this a special vacation for us which it was.</div>

<div>Only one adult pool which was crowded everyday and hard to find a spot to sit at. Thermal Spa was great and relaxing everyday. Jersey Boys show was outstanding. Cagney's Steak Restaurant was by far the best Regular Dinning option. Large variety of dinning options (just not the garden buffet).</div>

We loved the ship. The food in all of the dining rooms and the buffet was terrific. It was very easy to find a table in the garden cafe. The observation lounge is gorgeous. We were able to make reservations for several shows upon boarding the ship. We really enjoyed all the shows. The silent disco was lots of fun. The service was excellent. I would definitely take another cruise on this ship.

Since paying the price for a suite, it would be nice to have an adjustable bed. They are more comfortable than regular beds and provide for easier reading, watching tv, or just relaxing. Our butler, Babalawah, was a complete gem. She was always friendly and accommodating. She worked so hard providing intimate breakfasts and dinners on many of the days. Tommy, our room steward, was also wonderful and worked at keeping our room beautiful around our schedule. As Gold members, it was a fabulous trip that we will enjoy on Norwegian again in the near future.

<div>Our room was kept clean with fresh ice twice daily. The entire ship was clean. We enjoyed the comfy seating & small foods in the Observation lounge, The buffet was good and had food at all hours. We ate at Savor & Taste a few times and some of the time we had great service and some times the service was very slow. I would love to go again on the relocation cruise up the Panama!</div>

Very nice ship that we would have enjoyed more on one of it's Caribbean cruises where we could have spent more time on our balcony, up on deck, and enjoying the slides. Truly, the crepe stations on the Epic and Escape had us excited and talking about crepes for months before this cruise. We were quite miffed that they don't make them in the Garden Cafe anymore so they can charge you $5 or more crepes down at Coco's. The staff was great.
