Editorial Summary

The creator documents a seven night Mexican Riviera cruise aboard the NCL Bliss as part of the Look Who is Sailing with NCL collaboration program. Traveling from Los Angeles, the itinerary included stops in Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, and Puerto Vallarta. The creator highlights several key aspects of the voyage, including the ship's entertainment options such as the Beatles tribute band in the Cavern Club and the production of Jersey Boys. Food is a major focus, with the creator praising specialty dining options like Los Lobos and the exclusive Haven restaurant. A significant portion of the video is dedicated to the Haven experience, which is described as a ship within a ship. This premium area provided the creator with exclusive access to lounges, a private sundeck, and a private elevator for port disembarkation. The creator notes that the Haven experience was particularly beneficial for avoiding crowds and enjoying solitude. Additionally, the service provided by the dedicated butler is highlighted, including a successful request for a bowl of M&Ms. Ultimately, the creator concludes that the combination of high quality food, entertainment, and the privacy offered by the Haven made this one of their best cruise experiences.

Creator's Key Takeaways

NCL put a great cruise together for me and honestly it may be one of my best Cru experiences ever

the Bliss was one of the first cruise ships at Sea to have go-karts

I don't think I've ever had a better overall food experience than I did on this week on the Bliss

the Haven experience eliminated both of those issues for me these exclusive areas provided quick access to food quick access to drink and access to spaces that were very sparsely populated with people

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Consider the Haven for a premium, crowd-avoidant cruise experience
βœ“Try the specialty dining restaurants, especially Los Lobos for Mexican cuisine
