MFScruise Posted April 21, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Hi everyone! I'm Ladena. I'm a travel blogger from Canada. I'm so excited because I'll be on the NCL Bliss Inaugural press trip at the end of May from Seattle. I'm following all the posts about the Bliss here because I'm soooooo looking forward to get on the ship. I'll be writing and sharing tons while on the Bliss so I want to know what you guys want to know about the ship the most?? What photos do you want to see?? Any food or drinks I must try and report back with. Seriously... tell me what to look out for as I want to be able to share ALL the good stuff. Thanks all!:* L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sand and Seas Posted April 21, 2018 #3 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I'm wondering how they are using the Observation lounge for meals. Mini-buffet? Would love to see lots of picture of the entire Observation area since it takes up such a huge section of that deck. Very different from prior ships. Also very interested in seeing more about the changes in the casino area. It looks to be set up differently than the Escape and 'away' ships with the large enclosed portion designated for smoking. Are they duplicating the more popular slot machines in both areas? Pictures would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been on the Escape and loved the layout, it will be interesting to compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caribbean Drifters Posted April 21, 2018 #5 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Thanks so much for this. There are some rooms on board with a 'little something extra' like the x700 family Oceanview rooms. we are booked on 9700 and 11700. If it's not too much to ask any pictures or videos of those rooms would be amazing!!! The Ocean Blue Menu would be great to see, is there a raw bar? Are here Tomahawk steaks available at Cagneys? We get to book out restaurants soon, and it would help us determine things. Thanks so much, Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your opinion on family friendly parts of the ship and schedule would be really great as well. So much of what’s been covered has been from an adult perspective. We’ll be with small kids so your thoughts from a parental perspective (even without your kids actually present) would be invaluable.

Sent from my iPhone using Forums Yes!! I usually travel with kids so I will absolutely be paying attention to all kid-friendly aspects of this trip. My kids are actually devastated that they aren't coming with us because they LOVED the last cruise we did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinIllinois Posted April 24, 2018 #19 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I think the ship (inside) is pretty much being covered in great detail by a few great posters right now on the TA, however, what I would appreciate in pictures is the views and scenery on the new itinerary if that isn't too much trouble. Thanks, and enjoy the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
