Norwegian Bliss Review

Categories

I sailed Norwegian Bliss in the beginning of May, but keep in mind this was an inaugural 2 day cruise so not everything was available.

Public areas - The ship is beautiful and very tastefully decorated modern way. The observation lounge is where you will want to be before dinner, after, or just relaxing. It is beautiful.

Cabins - very nice plush beach towels, beds very comfortable, USB and outlets, shower has a glass door.

Spa- Really nice spa with a thalasso spa pool. The highlight is the polar room where it is below zero. Then they have 2 other types of steam rooms and a heated room and normal steam room. Lots of heated relaxing loungers. I would live there if I could.

Gym - All new equipment, including a spin class, and TRX.

Food - Main dining is what you would expect, unfortunately did not get a chance to try the specialty dining, but I assume it would be superior.

Drinks - Bartenders are very friendly and attentive. Great selection of cocktails, spirits, wine and beer. Especially loved the wine bar.

Entertainment - My roommate went to the Jersey Boys show and thought it was fantastic. As for general entertainment, it was a little lacking. One rock band was a bit on the karaoke side.

Casino - Tables were a lot of fun and it is huge. Also they have a smoking and non-smoking area completely separate, so no more having to deal with smoke if you do not want to. Dealers were great. Minimums were a little high. $2 per chip at roulette.

Activities - I did not get a chance to do laser tag, but heard it was a blast. I did do the race car driving. Do make sure you reserve and show up on time. No drinking, closed toe shoes like sneakers, and be the correct height limit. You will wear a head wrap and helmet so it can be hot. Going around was a complete blast, yet I did feel like some people thought it was bumper cars and kept crashing into the back of me and some other driver. Slight whip lash after, so watch for that. Still a lot of fun. The slides…. The one with the tubes is easy and great for people scared of heights. The tall one you can not wear any jewelry so that says something. I was scared because it is like a 20 foot drop down and then over the ocean. Would do it again.

The Haven - want to avoid hordes of people then this is the place for you. The suites are very nice and common areas are very rustic. Plus, you get your own private pool area.

Studios - these are so cool for singles. They also have a studio lounge just for those so they can meet up and socialize.

Overall was an amazing ship.
