Creator's Key Takeaways
I would actually say it's a close tie, but for me, Saver edged out a little bit more just because the service was more personal.
One of the things that's nice about going on a ship that you've already been on is you're less stressed about figuring out where everything is and what everything is.
Specialty dining is supposed to be an elevated experience. And if something's not working out, you've got to be able to advocate for yourself.
Compared to our first journey and then our time on the Viva they have invested less in their production shows and it really does show.

Day 3 on the Norwegian Bliss (Mexican Riviera) is a full-on sea day vibe: clocks roll forward, the atrium is already buzzing at 8:30am (yes, even the bar is open), and we kick things off with breakfast in the Main Dining Room—putting Savor vs. Taste head-to-head to see which one wins on service and overall experience. After breakfast, we walk it off with a lap through the ship—catching atrium trivia, checking out the Waterfront promenade, and talking about why repeat sailings feel so much more relaxing (no FOMO, just vibes). We also pop into the shops for a hilarious “inflation moment” with a wildly-priced ship model, then head up toward the Speedway to sort out go-kart reservations and show what it looks like at night. Later, we compare the buffet energy (packed, chaotic mid-morning) versus the evening (way calmer), and share a simple tip: sometimes the buffet bar is the fastest place to grab a drink. Lunch is at the American Diner (included, limited hours, classic burgers/fries vibe), then it’s spa time and a reset before a big night: pendant giveaway, atrium entertainment, and a specialty dinner at Le Bistro—including a quick reminder that it’s okay to speak up if something’s off, because it’s your vacation. We wrap the night with the District Brewhouse piano (seriously good) and a show at the theater (Icons)—plus a candid note on how Norwegian’s production shows feel different compared to our 2023 experience.
