Excellent no-nonsense video. Thanks, we enjoyed watching it.
Hi Gavin, thanks for watching. Appreciate the comments, I like to provide clear details and the best footage possible in our videos, without a lot of the fluff.
Very thorough video. Thanks for being so detailed in showing all of the amenities (and which one's have an additional fee). I think my husband would love that racetrack--it looks fun for all ages!!!
Hi Temmie, thanks for watching. I appreciate the comments, we do try to be thorough.
Yes. Will be cruising with my brother & sister-in-law in 2023! Looking forward to it!!
This is the best cruise of my life! I want to return in this cruise!
Hi Rosalie, thanks for watching. What was your favorite thing about Norwegian Bliss?
We're on Norwegian BLISS in late August to Alaska for our 25th Wedding Anniversary. Thanks for the great preview of things to come!!
Hi Michael, thanks for watching. What a wonderful way to celebrate your 25th anniversary. Congrats and have a great cruise.
Awesome video! Branching out from disney onto other cruise lines. Already have 2 booked w Royal but I love the look of the bliss for an Alaska cruise! Thx for all the details ✨️
Hi Erika's Enchanted Disney, thanks for watching. This class of ship is one of the best for Alaska from NCL.
The cruise to experience! We (family) took the Alaskan cruise last July 2019 and occupied the Haven 101. It was our cruise of a lifetime! We had full view of the expected beauty during the trip (you name it, we had it 😉 ). We took abundant memory pictures with us, Alaskan experience and hoping to save for our next cruise. Great crew and awesome Haven amenities 👍x10. #gratefulasalways👏🥰
Hi JoJo, thanks for watching. Sounds like you had a great Alaskan cruise!
Loved this ship, my family and I were on it in February/19
Hi Jason, thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed your cruise on Norwegian Bliss.
I just applied to work on this ship. This was very good and got me exited to hear back to see if i got it.
Norwegian Bliss is a great and wonderful ship on my first contract assignment, especially beverage package worked well applied in the bars..
We are booked for the Alaskan Cruise Sept 22, 2019 getting excited
Hi Wanda, thanks for watching. Norwegian Bliss is a great ship for this itinerary, have a wonderful time!
TC - Bliss is certainly a beautiful ship! 😀👍
Hi William, I took the video thumbnail picture last month while I was on a boat to St. John and the Bliss looks amazing from the water.
Norwegian Bliss,here we come!!!
Hi Caramel Tee, thanks for watching. Enjoy your cruise on Norwegian Bliss.
When this Covid19 pandemic is over, i will be on this cruise with my family.
lol @ "the arcade is a likely spot for missing teenagers AND DADS"
I dont get it ,so are the teens missing cause the dad adducted them? and brought them their i mean ? or
@@AwesometownUSA The term is "abducted". No, nobody said that. It's ok if this was too hard for you. Humor isn't for everyone.
@@SpeedNoodles oh , no i DO get the jokes hahah lol (& i have very good sence of humor thx u very much! I jus think its very bad taste to be joking around about Missing Kids..
,but hey im not judgeing anyone, not every one got chances to raised like me, to learn all the morals & become a good person
i just came form this ship. it was awesome
Hi HaxJason i, thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed your cruise on Norwegian Bliss.
Alaska cruise on July 7, 2019. So excited...
Hi Janice, thanks for watching. Have an amazing Alaska cruise on Norwegian Bliss!
Just got off the Norwegian escape a few days ago with family looking to take my next trip with friends looking to see what will be the best option this looks lit💯pretty much the same setups as escape
Hi Branden, thanks for watching. The last NCL ships, Escape, Joy, Bliss and Encore, are all Breakaway Plus class and are quite similar in layout, with exception of the race track and outdoor laser tag not offered on Escape.
Wow it's wonderful ship, I hope I can join as a crew member of House Keeping 😍
Thx for the family oceanview pic. Wondered how they converted the room 👍
Hi Autobot Diva, we try to include as many details like that as possible. Glad you found it helpful.
Autobot Diva Family Oceanview is an awesome category. Large cabin and bathroom with TONS of storage space.
I’m going on this in February with my nephews.they don’t know that me and my mom and dad are coming.I can wait to see their faces
Hi Ortspoon 127, thanks for watching. That will be a fantastic surprise. Have a wonderful time.
I've never been on Norwigian but there seems to be a lot of very interesting things on this ship, I was surprised by the malting whiskey bar as a whiskey lovers I would be curious to know the selection available on board.
A negative note in my opinion are the laser tag arena positioned outside, in my opinion a waste of external space.
A great video as always.
Hi Samuele, in general these latest ships from Norwegian are quite crowded on the upper decks. The race track and laser tag take up a huge amount of space.
Sailing on NCL Bliss Sunday 5/19/19 out of Seattle on an Alaskan cruise!
Hi LaShannon, thanks for watching. Have a great Alaskan cruise on Norwegian Bliss.
I love the Beatles and I would really want to see the cover band at the tavern bar but I’m not old enough 😢 I’m taking the Europe cruise btw
Basketball court? Oh yeah, gonna ball some of you up this December
@@TalkingCruise thanks for sharing. Taking this ship to the western Caribbean this new year for a week. First cruise since I was 5 years old ha
When you showed the staterooms, first off I am so used to staying in Hotels in Vegas where the room are well over 500 Square feet in size, no matter which one of these rooms you pick, since I have never cruised before, probably for the first night or so, I would feel really cramped in one of these rooms......
Hi Andrew, thanks for watching. You'd need to book a suite and likely one of the higher end suites on most cruise ships to be about the size of a Vegas hotel room. You'd be amazed how efficient the use of space can be on cruise ships, you still have all the necessities and comfort even in the smaller staterooms.
We were gonna get a mini suite with large balcony but the upgrade popped up and we had to get a haven forward facing penthouse suite
I once went on the Norwegian Bliss with 18 members of my family for 8 days in December 2019-2020
Have one booked. Not sure if I am going to like such a big cruise. Used to mid size ships. Time will tell.
Question : So ($) means there's an extra charge at this location? And I didn't see this for the arcade, does that mean you don't have to feed them quarters?
Hi welloffthegrid, thanks for watching. Unfortunately, you do need to pay for the arcade games.
On each day, is the menu the same for all three dining rooms (Manhattten, Savor, and the Taste)?Are the dining rooms "first come, first serve" or "reservations required"?
Hi EmperorWildManChan, thanks for watching. Those main dining rooms share the same menus nightly. Reservations not required, but if you like to dine during popular times (6:30-8:00) it would be recommended.
Can I bring my straightener iron from the US (uses the US port) to the cruise? Is the outlet different? Do I need an adaption? I’m taking the Europe cruise btw
I recommend to do a Norwegian encore tour
Hi Peter, thanks for watching, We have some Norwegian Encore videos coming.
Sailed on the Bliss in March of 2019, A fabulous ship with so many amenities. Would I cruise with that ship again? I'd say no. I think the ship is too big, too crowded. It's practically a small city. If you want to book any of the extra features you better do it before you board ship. Frankly, I personally would rather book with a nice smaller ship
Hi James, thanks for watching. The most recent Breakaway and Breakaway Plus class ships all suffer for the same problem imo, too much stuff crammed on the upper decks.
My wife and I are going to Alaska on this ship May 2020.
Hi Duane, thanks for watching. This ship is perfect for Alaska, especially that forward observation lounge, enjoy!
I went on that Cruise in March or April in 2019
Talking Cruise heck yea it was my favorite cruise out of all the cruises I went to there were so many things to do like the teenager lounge and the pool was great too and your buffet and restaurant are so good I hope I can go again next year hope you have more guests that enjoyed it like me! Keep up the great work you guys!!
Looks like a great ship... but how many restaurants does a ship need lol?!
Hi walkernick86, thanks for watching. Dining choices are not a bad thing, but the majority are an extra cost on NCL.
Large part of the ship is built with up-selling in thought. Not much is included in your standard cruise fare onboard the Norwegian Bliss
Hi Celebrity Dream, thanks for watching. Unfortunately, this is a common practice on many cruise lines, but NCL does seem to have the most exclusions.
Does anybody know when the Margaritaville at Sea was removed from the ship? What was it replaced with?
Hi Rick, thanks for watching. I believe it was removed just prior to the pandemic in early 2020, becoming American Diner. I've updated the description to reflect this.
The haven places...do you have to have a haven suite to have access to these?
Hi Erica, thanks for watching. All Haven areas are exclusive to those booking the Haven accommodations.
Is there a sports deck on this ship? I’m going on this next month and I’m just wondering.
Hi Christian, thanks for watching. No, there is so much of the upper decks taken up by laser tag, race track and water slides and private pay areas, that there is no sports court, just a small mini golf course.
@@TalkingCruisedo I need to make reservations for go-kart racing, or just show up day of and line up?
Yes I’m looking an the encore are you a cruise travel agent?
Hi S D, thanks for watching. We do provide cruise booking services, but only to our existing base of clients and their referrals.
@@TalkingCruise Oh okay so since im not a client, you dont? Just trying to understand. Thanks!
Is the smoking section encased like on NCL Joy?
@@TalkingCruise I am so sorry. Yes, I was referring to the casino. On Joy, the casino is in two parts...smoke-free with the smokers encased in their own area.
Do you have to pay to use things like the laser tag on the ship?
Hi Ancient Truth Seeker, thanks for watching. Unfortunately, the laser tag does have an extra costs as do the go karts.

Hola, soy un comprador de este crucero para viajar a Alaska en barco que partia de Seattle el dia 30 de abril de 2022. El agente vendedor de esta compania Raymon Marin en Miami, informo que no se necesitaba la visa de Canada, por que solo estabamos 3 horas en el puerto de Victoria para que no invirtieramos usd $185 en sacar dicha visa. El dia del embarque sin consideracion alguna devolvieron 18 pasajeros de diferentes nacionalidades, con el argumento de que si se necesitaba la visa, a pesar de que a todos los viajeros nos habian dicho que no se necesitaba. Que esto sirva de alerta para no confiar en esta compania, que solo les interesa vender y despues simplemente te dicen lo "sentimos, no puedes embarcar".
Hello, thanks for watching. Sorry that this happened to you and we not able to board your cruise in Seattle. IF you have written or other documentation that you were informed by Norwegian Cruise Line that no visa was required for you for this cruise, I would escalate the issues with the NCL corporate office, do not use the web form for post cruise comments, call NCL at 305-436-4000. I wish you the best of luck.
Hi is the bliss canceling?
Hi Bilal, thanks for watching. If you were planning to cruise on Norwegian Bliss anytime between this weekend and April 11th, all of those cruises have been cancelled.
I would like to work on a NCL How to apply?
Hi Duangjai Cren, thanks for watching. You can visit NCL's career website at: www.ncl.com/about/careers/overview
Does it have a basketball court
Hi Bilal, thanks for watching. There is no basketball court, with the race track, laser tag and waterpark, there is really no room left.
what does this mean ($) in the description?
Hi NITZA, thanks for watching. The ($) indicates these venues have an extra cost.
I have a dreaded feeling, that somehow we are going to get lost on this ship.See you later alligator.
Yo ya saque pasaje para pasar fin de año
Hi Benigno Quintana, thanks for watching. Have a nice cruise on Norwegian Bliss.
Going on this ship next September........providing I get my vaccinations 🤷♂️
Hi Franco the rottie, thanks for watching. I hope you get a chance to cruise on Norwegian Bliss.
So in order to go on a cruise and I’m talking about all….I have to get vaccinated first🥴
Hi ONLY- SAM, thank for watching. There are some exceptions that you can explore, but generally at this time, yes you need to be vaccinated.
Hmm.. creative... (sarcastically) “la cucina” means The Food in Italian.
Hi Liam, thanks for watching. Regardless of the name, the "Italian Food" is good!
So it looks like they don’t have accessible accommodations. Wow
Hi Carol, thanks for watching. They do have a limited number of accessible rooms, however, they do not create marking materials specific to those categories.
When will it be safe to travel again :(
Hi lazinskit93, thanks for watching. I don't think anyone can answer that definitively at this time. "Safe" travel with only minimal risks to all people from every age group might be a while. I think people are going to need to address their own risk factors and what they are comfortable with and make that personal decision when cruises or general travel open back up.
@@TalkingCruise oh I know just missing the old way of life more of a hypothetical question
Just came back and it was awful the ship is huge you see everything from far away . super filled jam packed with people everywhere.😯 could not get seating . Lines at buffet. the crew was awful just unfriendly never use NCL for Alaska 🤨
Hi 1st movie fan, thanks for watching and sharing some of your experience.
Does the bliss have mortal kombat?
Hi Jesse, thanks for watching. I don’t remember the specific games, sorry.
Nous avons fais une croisiere sur le Bliss il y a 15 jours , tres décus du bateau , c'était une croisiere de 14 jours .Le menu tres répétitif pratiquement toujours la meme chose , les spectacles médiocres sauf pour Les Beatles qui valaient la peine d'etre vu , J'ai fais 14 croisieres avant Le Bliss donc j'ai pu comparé la croisiere. Dommage car c'est un beau bateau mais il demande des corrections importantes. J'ai été sur le bateau du 19 janvier au 2 février 2020 nous étions 4 couples et ils partagent tous mon opinion .
Bonjour Colette, merci d'avoir regardé. Désolé d'entendre parler de votre expérience. J'espère que vous avez fait part de vos réflexions au personnel à bord. Continuez la croisière!
How's the food on Bliss?
Hi Scott, thanks for watching. Food quality is generally good, however, most of the dining venues are an extra charge. The only included ones are the three main dining rooms, The Local Pub and Garden Cafe.
@@TalkingCruiseThanks for such an informational video! I found it very thorough and the music relaxing 😊 I'm thinking of cruising on the Bliss, how does MDR work? Do I need to make reservations or just show up? Are the restaurants located in different parts of the ship? Thanks
sorry lazer tag ice cream and go karts should be free speically when your paying 15k for the cruise to begin with
Hi Nicky D, thanks for watching. I agree with you 100%, but can you imagine the lines if they did offer it for free?
Read your information about Covid 19 many places you don’t need vaccinations anymore
¿Cuánto? $$$
Hi Aleks, thanks for watching. The cost really depends on the room type you select and the specific date of departure. Pricing will vary greatly from season to season.
great ship but too many $$$
Hi Kw C, thanks for watching. I don't disagree, most other cruise lines have equally cool activities included in the price.
The intro music is way too.loud!! I turned off the video due to how loud it is.
Hi Laura, thanks for watching. I rewatched the intro and some of the first tour segments and while the recording volume may be high, it is pretty consistent with voiceovers throughout. Sorry if this detracted from your viewing experience, we'll see how to minimize this in the future.
I actually did not like this ship. Went to Alaska in July '19 on Bliss and was not impressed at all.
Hi Jenna, thanks for watching. I appreciate your comments. What was it specifically that you didn't like?
Boring presentation, and the voice is not pleasant. Only showed a bunch of pics, not like showing action. 1 bright point, showed where things cost extra.
Hi JoeTexan, thanks for watching and your comments. Sorry you found so little to enjoy in the video.
Have you cruised or are you planning to cruise on Norwegian Bliss? Let us know in the comments.
Never been on a cruise but my wife and I have been talking about doing it and the Bliss looks good I need some more information on prices and we would be traveling with another couple.
My hubby and are booked for Oct. 20th, cant wait!
Yes next year
Talking Cruise I am tomorrow
Took the Panama Canal cruise on the Bliss. Was really not impressed. To start off one thing not mentioned while on the cruise is cost, cost cost. The specialty diners are now cost per item not one charge. We had commentary meals at Cagney's and the Italian. Cagney's with the free meal you get one salad, one outré and one dessert, if you wanted a different steak it was 5 dollars more, or wanted a shrimp cocktail 5 dollars more or extra dessert 5 dollars more. The Italian restrauant was a nice place, however I wanted spaghetti and meat balls, well there is not meat at all, no meat sauce, no meat balls, everything was either pasta or seafood. I asked the supervisor why no meat, she said it's the American way, excuses me American way!!!! Then the Margarita buffet was cost too, 19 bucks for a hamburger, rarely saw people in there, in the morning though they have a limited breakfast buffet it was good, but the hours wee never the same. Also it's in the aft end of the ship and the only place to get coffee in the morning and after they serve the breakfast they empty the coffee pots, so if you want coffee you have go to the middle of the ship at the 24 hours restruant, which for us being up in age was a long walk. We are smokers first off no cigarette smoking in the cigar bar, there is smoking area at the casino but since it's enclosed it's closed while in port or other times, so the only place to relax with a smoke was just outside the H20 bar aft, limited seating and at times very windy or cold. No coffee or anything in the morning. The ship has only two banks of elevators, one aft one forward, we were just outside the aft elevator however everything we wanted to do from eating or events was way forward, again a very long walk. Checking out things to buy in the shops, well, you would need a loan from BofA to buy most things , from a 5 dollar small candy bar, to a Tshirt for 30 bucks. They had a sale one day, small wood key change, 7 dollars on sale...……..Starbucks was good, prices not bad but rarely anyone in there so we were there allot since they have usb ports to charge you stuff. Going thru the new canal was very disappointing, no more mules they hook on to tugs to take you thru, rather like the old cancel. Leaving the ship we're platinum members and were suppose to have priority disembarkation, nobody could help us, they were confused, so took us over an hour to get off the ship then another 30 mins to find our luggage since they had one bag misplaced.
We'll not back to Norwegian expressly the Bliss if they continue to try and get every last drop of money out of you. Most of the crew were nice though.
