Have done two at a time on the Bliss...the 6:00 AM large black coffee and large unsweetened black iced tea combo...

Like others, love this tread and the pics. We sailed on the Norway in 2000, I believe...porthole cabin on the lowest deck...secret stairwell up to dining room entrance, dancing at Club International, sunsets on the promenade...a real ship.

NCL ships with the Waterfront! Outdoor comfy seating and outdoor dining is amazing and a key reason we keep getting on the Bliss!

The grocery store in town is great for snacks and the things needed to build your own picnic. Not sure about pre-made sandwiches but having so many other options may outweigh that...

TY kabux! That is great news! 100% on the back support 🙂

bumping in case anyone knows...Given that they will bring loungers and other chairs to other cabins, I am hopeful... Thx!!

Blankets available at outdoor dining on the Waterfront for Alaska sailings....and the Waterfront is usually not busy at all-fantastic location at all hours for comfy ocean viewing, reading, napping, etc....

We had one on the Bliss...we did think the larger bathroom made a difference to our experience, but if that is not of interest, we did not find many other benefits...we would have done laundry so the free bag was nice but not a lot of $$ value.

Excited to be in the Havana for the first time on our upcoming Mardi Gras sailing and wondering if we can get one or two regular balcony chairs added. The chaise and lower chair are nice at times but not sure if always want to be so low. Has anyone had/asked for one or two regular balcony chairs brought down by the cabin steward? Thx!

From Pikes Market this morning (4/15).

I recall taxis being easy as well from SEATAC if you are concerned about roaming charges. Same advice to follow the signs. They take credit cards but you may want to confirm before getting in.

We were on HAL four years ago and did a land tour to the Yukon and Denali. We did not buy the meal package. Hotels were walkable to other eating venues and it gave us flexibility. Pricewise not sure ended up that far off, but we really enjoyed sampling local restaurants. We do not have mobility issues but if we had it would have been more challenging.

NCL doesn't give us much time...had been looking at the "Local Brews and Waterfront Cruise" for our upcoming NCL Bliss cruise but looks like only one way from Ward Cove into Ketchikan...looks like still have to take the shuttle back. Even though I will have a shore excursion credit, it would still be $100... Did similar trip last year and stopped at Ward Cove and as the morning got later the line for the shuttle into town got very long. I don't know how long the wait was for those trying to go as I did not take the shuttle-just wandered around the gift shop as we have been to Ketchikan before. If the waterfront cruise was round trip back to Ward Cove, I'd do it. Not sure about just one way...

Thank you!

On the Bliss soon and want to try Q Texas Smokehouse. But with long daylight hours, we’d like to order it to go so we can hit the Waterfront for sunset or take it to our balcony. Assuming if we can’t get it “to go” formally, we can just take the metal tray it is served on…has anyone done this? Thx!
