Everything.. Norwegian BLISS! - launch April 2018 -

[Steve_36]

I've been able to get drip coffee when they've had it, like on the Jewel, but I could not get any coffee on the Getaway with the UBP at the Atrium since they did not have drip. Unless I got it with booze in it, then it was covered. I'm not saying that your friends weren't able to get plain espresso shots, it just was not available under the UBP in my experience even when I got a plain Americano.

 

 

 

Per NCL's site regarding the UBP.

 

Regarding the coffee drinks, NCL only mentions "select Lavazza drinks" as being excluded.

it would be nice to get some clarification on this, eventually they will have to re write it if there is a proliferation of Starbucks of the new ships, including Bliss, since there is no exclusions for Starbucks drinks.

There is a difference between offerings. For Europeans NCL is selling Premium All Inclusive which includes also Lavazza coffee during dining as it includes bottled water and service charges as well for example.

Bow thruster block coming in :)

I can't remember who or where but I remember talking with someone that the Bliss was rumored to not have the brew pub? Bliss will have the first full blown Starbucks on an NCL ship following Starbuck's brand guidelines.

 

About time! Since the ship will be based in Seattle, it makes sense. Now if they'd roll out Starbucks extensive menu fleet-wide! :) RCCL already has Starbucks products on it. I figured NCL would never pick it up with a competing cruise line serving their products but I guess we'll be pleasantly surprised! :D

Just off the Jade and when we ordered Irish Coffee's in the atrium we had to pay for the coffee still but the booze was free with our package :rolleyes:

Lucky you. On the Jade this month even with booze the coffee part was a separate charge.

Lacking a block schedule, this are the two megablocks we will see in the open mid Aug after/during float out of World Dream;

 

 

After the float out of the indoor Bliss megablock World Dream will be floated out, berthed along the pier where now the outside Bliss megablock is docked. Which will look like this. The two Bliss blocks will then be towed into the large building hall to take the forward spot of World Dream in the hall.

 

Hopefully we will see some more details on those two megablocks, the float out may be streamed live by Meyer, local news or some enthusiasts. The for us most important before part with the block coming out will take place a few hours before the float out time so be prepared! ;)

I'm on the sailing the week before you. Have roughly 370 days to go. That means there's good news for you, your cruise is actually in about 380 days. That's 60 days less of waiting.:)

Booked on the June 30th cruise to Alaska with a large extended family. 4 rooms booked. First time to Alaska and on a mega ship. Done the Pearl to Caribbean twice and love NCL. Love the updates on this thread!

I see this image on NCl Bliss site for Alaska. Where is this location in Alaska? Will the ship pass by?

We are a very large group of friends and family ( 80 cabins so far) and we are on the October 27, MR cruise. We all did the Getaway last fall and had a blast!. I love this thread because with all the info many of you help to provide, I can keep our very large group up to date on what is happening step by step. Planning cruises for such large groups keeps me hopping! Thank you to everyone who takes the time to post pictures, etc!

Hi all, Derek from California here. I'm booked for a studio cabin on the Oct. 5 Mexican Riviera sailing, cruising solo. First time sailing Norwegian, most of my past cruises have been with Princess. Can't wait to experience NCL!

Should be a lot of fun!
