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.
Norwegian Bliss receives high marks for its beautiful, modern ship and friendly staff, with many guests praising the food, entertainment, and scenic itineraries. However, frequent complaints include overcrowding, long lines, difficulty securing reservations for dining and activities, short port times, and extra charges for many amenities. While many travelers had a wonderful experience, others felt the ship was too large and impersonal, with inconsistent service and communication. Overall, the Bliss is best suited for those who enjoy a lively, bustling cruise atmosphere and are prepared for some logistical challenges.
Service is generally praised as friendly and accommodating, especially in specialty areas and The Haven, though some guests experienced rude or unhelpful staff and inconsistent communication.
