Creator's Key Takeaways

As a family, we highly recommend the NCL Bliss.

The NCL Bliss is one of the biggest and most beautiful cruise ships on the sea.

This is one of the best ships at sea, and the staff that runs the NCL Bliss helps you from the moment you get on board until they're sad to see you leave the ship on disembarkcation day.

You will not be sorry that you booked the NCL Bliss.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Check the Freestyle Daily for activity schedules and dining hours.
โœ“Register kids for Splash Academy and Entourage as soon as possible, as spots fill up.
โœ“Pace yourself with the unlimited ice cream and snacks at the buffet to save room for other meals.

๐Ÿ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Kids under 12 must be accompanied by an adult in the pool area โ€” There's plenty of space for parents to watch and relax nearby.
Specialty dining is an upcharge โ€” Check for onboard deals; it's often a better value than dining ashore.
