Creator's Key Takeaways
I didn't care that there was a 3% sir charge to use my um onboard account at the casino.
There is no dedicated pizza on this ship at all. Anywhere.
The Haven experience... made the cruise for us.
We would absolutely book another NCL cruise tomorrow or today. And that is the Haven experience.

We just disembarked the Norwegian Bliss, and on the drive home from the Port of Los Angeles, we’re breaking it all down in one of our signature Debarkation Debriefs. This was our first-ever cruise with Norwegian Cruise Line, and in this video we talk honestly about: What we liked and didn’t like about the Norwegian Bliss Surprising policies (casino fees, drink service, food options) The lack of grab-and-go food and dedicated pizza Go-karts, ship layout, and onboard vibes And most importantly… The Haven experience — and how it completely changed this cruise for us We also answer the big question: 👉 Would we sail Norwegian Cruise Line again? Since this was our first NCL cruise, we’d love to hear from you. Have you sailed the Bliss, Encore, Prima, or another NCL ship? Is this typical for Norwegian — or did we just have a Bliss-specific experience?
