What Travelers Say About Norwegian Bliss
Reviews of the ship itself — the same for every Norwegian Bliss sailing. Based on 1,900 discussions.
Norwegian Bliss debuted in 2018 as one of NCL's flagship Breakaway-Plus mega-ships and quickly became the line's go-to vessel for Alaska, sailing round-trip from Seattle. What makes it stand out is the combination of top-deck thrills and a design tuned for scenic cruising: a two-level go-kart speedway and open-air laser tag up top, paired with a sprawling forward Observation Lounge built specifically to take in Alaska's glaciers and coastline. The vibe is high-energy and family-friendly, but with enough adults-only and premium retreats that couples and solo travelers also feel catered to.
What People Love
- The two-level Bliss Speedway go-kart track is a genuine bucket-list thrill that reviewers love for the novelty of racing on top of a cruise ship
- Purpose-built for Alaska, the expansive forward Observation Lounge with floor-to-ceiling windows is repeatedly called the perfect spot for soaking in glaciers and scenery
- Strong Broadway-caliber entertainment, with Tony Award winners Jersey Boys and Six plus the wildly popular Beatles cover band in The Cavern Club
Common Complaints
- The main pool deck gets badly overcrowded, with many guests saying you must pay extra for Vibe Beach Club just to find a lounger
- Persistent nickel-and-diming: go-karts, laser tag, arcade, specialty dining and drinks all carry upcharges on top of the fare
- Buffet food draws frequent criticism as mediocre to poor, even when main and specialty dining rate well
