Norwegian Bliss is the third addition to Norwegian Cruise Line’s renowned Breakaway Class of ships, equipped to deliver cruisers the ultimate vacation experience with innovative new features. Cruisers can get their adrenaline going with the first ever go-karts at sea, a space-themed laser tag arena, and two epic waterslides at the Aqua Park. If a day of pampering and relaxation is more your pace, indulge in a treatment at the Mandara Spa or a Spa Suite, kick back at the Haven Pool, and enjoy a drink with a view from the Observation Lounge or The Waterfront promenade. With over ten restaurants onboard, spectacular shows and comedy acts, a wine bar and variety of clubs, there’s no shortage of experiences to be had onboard.
Norwegian Bliss sails on a rotation of cruises from Seattle to Alaska in the summer months and cruises around the Bahamas and Caribbean the rest of the year.
The Norwegian Bliss receives high marks for its beautiful, modern ship design, friendly staff, and excellent entertainment, particularly standout shows like Jersey Boys. Many guests enjoyed the variety of food and the scenic itineraries, especially in Alaska and the Panama Canal. However, frequent complaints include overcrowding, long lines for dining and activities, difficulty securing reservations for shows and specialty restaurants, and short port times. Some guests found the buffet repetitive and the communication on board lacking. While many found the service exceptional, others experienced inconsistent or rude service. Overall, the Bliss is praised for its amenities and atmosphere, but the large crowds and extra charges detract from the experience for some.
Service on the Bliss is generally described as friendly and accommodating, with many staff members going above and beyond. However, some guests experienced rude or unhelpful service, particularly at guest services and in specialty dining. Service can be inconsistent, especially when the ship is at full capacity.
