Imagine exhilaration whilst exploring the wilds of Alaska. Imagine relaxation upon finding your slice of paradise in The Caribbean. Imagine Bliss. That's what you'll experience when you holiday on board Norwegian Bliss. Custom-built for the spectacular, Norwegian Bliss features a revolutionary Observation Lounge for you to soak in every stunning moment, from bald eagles soaring over glaciers to dolphins splashing through warm turquoise waters. Come aboard and experience the best dining, entertainment, and amenities at sea against a backdrop of unrivalled natural beauty. Whether you choose to go tropical or a little wild, there’s one word to describe the experiences awaiting you on one of Norwegian’s newest ships: Bliss.
We just recently returned from the first Alaska cruise of the season on the Norwegian Bliss. Overall: this was my very first cruise, so judge accordingly, but I enjoyed it immensely. Some of the pros were definitely the food at most of the included restaurants like Taste, Savor and Manhattan, absolutely buy the drink package if you do drink, a balcony is a must if you can afford it, bring binoculars, a ton of entertainment, and the crew was very pleasant, friendly, and helpful. Some cons were being the first ship out about 80% of the stores etc at the destinations were still closed for the season or had hours that didn’t coincide with the ship arrival and some of the premium restaurants had food that was not as good as those included in the cruise and still cost extra. I would say the biggest let down was Cagney’s. I did read prior reviews here and they were correct. The steaks were not well seasoned, the lamb ordered was chewy, the menu read there were truffle mashed potatoes but when we received truffle fries instead and asked for the correct item we were told this was the only item not just that they didn’t have any more (and I did recheck the menu on the way out and both were offered). I was also missing the maitre’d butter that was the topper of the steak and received a small ramekin of it instead. The wait staff however were very good, did try to correct as much as they could, and were very apologetic. I personally felt that the steaks at the Manhattan and even at The Garden were better (lower expectations maybe?) The hibachi at Teppanyaki was good though and the atmosphere was fun and engaging. I was disappointed by how slow the service seemed and felt maybe they were overwhelmed. When we would request items they had to be requested several times. It seemed they took forever clearing the dishes and bringing the dessert as well. I ordered a second drink while the meal was still being served but didn’t receive it until after dessert. That all being said I would eat here again if given the opportunity, it was fun and the food was good. I was traveling with friends who luckily had a balcony room and will definitely make sure to get one in the future on a trip like this. Definitely necessary. Otherwise, the boat was fantastic and I would definitely cruise Norwegian again.
This was our 2nd cruise on the Bliss. It just didn't "shine" like the first time. Entertainment seemed to be going downhill a bit although Jersey Boys was wonderful. Comedy lacking enough humor. Main dining rooms seem to never get an updated menu and the new Mediterranean restaurant Palomar had a very limited menu of items not priced higher than the package included menu. The upholstery in the cabin and throughout the ship needs to be updated as it is showing signs of extended wear. No piano or singer during dinner in the Manhattan Room. We had a balcony cabin which seemed smaller than on other NCL ships we've sailed on. Specialty dining was average; only Le Bistro was totally excellent. The worst part was the very slow elevator service with cars staying for lengthy periods of time on upper floors and often up to 4 at each end of ship turned off completely. Throughout the ship in all positions the staff was friendly, accommodating, and always helpful.
