But then I worried about being a stereotype (vegetarian, salad, you know). So I went with the obvious choice, the one with candy in it. And it seems after only 3 nights the chef knows my preferences and put extra brittle in mine. I also appreciated some warm soup after a chilly, drizzly day at port. Then I carb loaded for tomorrow’s hike with pasta and bread.

If you’re more interested in a Piano Man vibe, head to The District Brewhouse, where you’ll find something like 25 beers on tap. It’s got a great vibe but is small and fills up quickly. You’ll need to get to these at least 30 minutes early if you want a seat. It wasn’t bad, but I’m glad I didn’t have to go back for another meal. With that said, everyone else loved their steaks and surf ‘n turfs.

But Norwegian Bliss also has a phenomenal thermal suite with heated ceramic loungers, various saunas, an ice room (with actual snow!), a thalassotherapy pool, and a salt room. There’s The District for beer and Sugarcane for mojitos. There’s the A-List for gin & tonics and The Cellars for wine. Even some restaurants, like Q, have signature cocktails worth trying out at least once. Before the pandemic, most cruisers had a choice of two (from six options). But, for the time being, the line is offering all six to anyone who books.
Norwegian Bliss Cruise Review
Most cruises allow you to take a partner along or fly solo. The beauty of a sex or swingers' cruise is its anything-goes attitude. You must be dressed for meals on swingers' cruises, though outfits range widely, from vacation casual to skimpy see-through dresses. Be sure to check the schedule for theme nights that encourage dressing for the occasion. Some theme nights could include leather and lace, a glow party, and toga night.
The closets have plenty of hanging space; you can ask for extra hangars if you need them. The other side of the closet has several shelves, including one with the safe on it. For one, there’s not a single drawer in the room. Call me crazy, but some things (like underwear and socks) just don’t fit as well on a shelf as they do in a drawer. So, I hadn’t had much time to truly enjoy the ship.

Norwegian Bliss Offers Unlimited Go-Karts Ride Packages
Don't let pictures of the go-karts and water slides fool you. And, family-friendly features seem less visible (the one exception being the kids splash zone on Deck 16). While most swingers' cruises cater to heterosexual or opposite-sex playtime, bisexual and bi-curious women tend to be accepted in swingers' circles.
Day 2: Sea day
With nudism, there is less of an emphasis on the sexual aspect of baring it all. Instead, it's more of a means for people to interact on what they feel is a more natural level. Late at night, there are themed fantasy parties and more kink-centric activities. Also, most cruises have a playroom where couples, single women and invited men can explore each other. The goal is to offer a sensual safe space where everyone feels comfortable. Temptation Cruises is a relative newcomer, having launched its all-inclusive Caribbean cruise in 2020.

Only time will tell how families respond but so far there are plenty of families with members under 21-years-old already booked for Alaska and the Caribbean. But Norwegian Bliss can only mimic a small upscale vessel to a certain extent. While it can feel a bit nickel and dime-y at times, there is plenty that’s free. Plus, most of the line’s fares come with some value-adds, like free dining in specialty restaurants, which can cut down on some extra costs.
” but when he realized his mistake three courses later, he just busted up laughing and was like, “you’ve been a lady this whole time? ” Like maybe her gender identity changed between the antipasto and the risotto. I should mention that the bottle of wine I selected was called 19 Crimes, which I order every time because it’s the only one I can pronounce. But tonight it seemed very on brand and I offered to share a glass with my waiter who’d committed all 19 crimes before the 7 o’clock rush. The final crime occurred when I was informed that the dessert I’d ordered wasn’t ready yet and would I like the tiramisu (!!!) instead. You’ll recall I sacrificed an entire night of blissful cruise sleep to tiramisu like 72 hours ago and vowed to never order it again.
Cabin pristine and shower worked better than other ships. Only disappointment is NCL configures the balcony cabins with the bed in the center of the room instead of placed parallel with the sliding glass door. With the bed next to the door, watching tv pairs well with looking out the slider to the beautiful ocean.
You may even see signs of the lifestyle on mainstream cruise lines and regularly scheduled itineraries, where an upside down pineapple on a door can signify a couple that's open to playing. And to make matters worse, as soon as I disembark tomorrow, I’m moving (20 feet across the hall, but still!)! Which reminds me, if someone local to Seattle wouldn’t mind me crashing on your couch for a few days while I pretend to be lost at sea so I don’t have to help, I’d be ever so grateful.
It was so quiet in the dining room it was like being in church and let me tell you, that cornbread was a religious experience. If you want a more serene spot to enjoy your buffet breakfast without having to walk all the way back to your cabin, go one deck down to the Observable Lounge. It’s not crowded in the morning, there are plenty of nice spots to eat, there are beverage stations, and there’s a continental breakfast set up to supplement your buffet items (fruit, pastries, cereal, deli meats, and cheese). The 'Norwegian Pearl' is one such ship from Norwegian Cruise Line that Bliss Cruise charters.
For the size of the gym versus the size of the ship, it really should be been open 24/7 to have a prayer at accommodating everyone weird enough to exercise on vacation. On my last NCL cruise (to Antarctica/South America in December) I missed skillet cornbread night in the MDR because it was my son’s birthday and he wanted to celebrate at Teppanyaki. I’ve regretted prioritizing my kid’s happiness over that cornbread ever since. So I was NOT going to miss it tonight even though we were scheduled to cruise through the Endicott Arm fjord during dinner.
I was in the throngs of despair, yes, but at least there was guacamole and I was alone so I could double dip. The shareable guacamole was prepared table side which was a little awkward for this introvert, terrible at small talk. ” He ignored my question and asked me where I was from. “Seattle.” And then I remembered protocol, looked at his badge which said “Philippines” and asked “small town or large city?
Anyway, the food was very good, but only about 10% better than what I’ve been enjoying in the MDR and certainly not worth the extra $49 (not including the wine) it would have cost me without the voucher. If you’re fortunate, as I am, to have visited Alaska many times, the Bliss is awesome on port days when most passengers are off the ship. In fact, on my first cruise on the Bliss with my son, we stayed onboard for the majority of our time in port and practically had the entire ship to ourselves. That’s when the Bliss is really fun and you can fully appreciate all she has to offer! Sitka is the first and oldest city in Alaska so it’s fitting that it was the very first port of the 2024 cruise ship season.
Ages ranged from 20-somethings to people in their 50s and 60s. There were also older folks, but fewer than I usually expect to see on a one-week warm-weather cruise. The Ocean Loops take riders out over the open water in a clear tube, though you’re going so fast you probably won’t even notice! The Aqua Racer lets you and a friend race side-by-side down the slide. There’s also a waterpark for kids, but it was always empty on our sailing with no children.
