LoginImagine 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.
This was our first cruise to Alaska. We sailed with NCL aboard the Encore previously- so we were already familiar with the amenities aboard the Bliss - an amazing cruise ship! Embarkation: Flawless. This was really the fastest, most efficient embarkation we experienced with NCL to date. From dropping off our luggage to boarding took maybe 20- 30 minutes. Very fast. Cabin: We had a balcony cabin and it was quite comfortable with amazing views. We usually choose inside staterooms but Alaska deserved a cabin upgrade. Entertainment: Non-stop. From live music, to shows, wine tastings, trivia, bingo, casino etc - there's never a dull moment. Dining: NCL dining venues are all very good. Buffets are not my favorite kind of venue but for breakfast the omelette station was my go to - delicious and made to order. I never have a bad meal on NCL - it's all good. You don't need to spend extra on specialty dining but if you do, Cagneys, Teppan-yaki, and Le Bistro are worth the splurge. Tip: you can order a Cagneys steak from the menu at Manhattan room, Taste, or Savor for a reasonable upcharge. Itinerary: We knew this going in- that the Bliss had short stays in each port including the obligatory stop in Victoria (to comply with a 100 year old law) from 8pm to midnight. Excursions: mostly expensive, We opted for a guided tour in Sitka, rented a car via Turo in Juneau, whale watching in Icy Strait, and a Seaplane excursion in Ketchikan that was canceled due to rainy weather. NCL has a very efficient way to get everybody back on board. In the past, chaos because it was a free for all with extremely long wait times for an elevator. Now NCL has dedicated express elevators manned with employees to quickly take passengers up. Very efficient. NCL also now offers "Port Valet" and will check your bags all the way to your return destination. This makes disembarkation very fast, easy, and convenient. You no longer need to drag your bags off the ship!
