YVRBassElectric Posted June 6, 2018 #251 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I noticed they had a 'special' comedy show in the main theater last night with the two comedians performing at the Social throughout the cruise on other nights. I was wondering if you know if the show at the Theater by these comedians was different than the show they perform at the Social on other nights. we saw 6 comics at The Social - 5 had different material Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingIGo Posted June 6, 2018 #252 Share Posted June 6, 2018 We got off of the Bliss this morning. Hope that you have a great cruise on this very beautiful ship!

amy&ryan Posted June 6, 2018 #253 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Just wondering where you met for this tour. On Bliss (like in theater) or on docks? Trying to plan our morning and wondering if we have time for a morning tour. Booked Harv & Marvs for 7:30. Also trying to decide if we want to do both or just one. Thanks for all of your help & pics. We are on the July 14th sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jergira Posted June 6, 2018 #254 Share Posted June 6, 2018 That ShoreEx, obviously, will go to Sawyer or Dawes glacier depending on where the ship goes. The ship went to Dawes today, so the ShoreEx went to Dawes More on that ShoreEx tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk How do you find this excursion? I'm sailing in September on the Bliss and cannot find this excursion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erdoran Posted June 6, 2018 #256 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Birdtravels, you have tons of experience - for these pricey excursions, do you recommend a tip of the 20% ($$$$, as I recall NCL charges $149 or $179 pp for this!!!!) or the standard $10/$20?

Off topic - I wondered if you could tell me what the price is for the specialty dining that is not al a cart (such as Margaritaville and teppanyaki). Thank you in advance. Oh and thank you for all the menus you posted earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teppanyaki is $29.95 per person or you can use one dining credit towards the meal. It is very tasty!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesea777 Posted June 6, 2018 #264 Share Posted June 6, 2018 (edited) Dying to hear about that shorex! Emptynesters, I found as soon as I booked some excursions most of the rest of them disappeared from the website, even though they were still available. If you think you want it, call NCL and ask if it's available, don't wait! It's true that the rest of the excursions disappear once you booked an excursion for that particular port. That happens to prevent you from double booking the excursions. But you can see the rest of the excursions via https://www.ncl.com/shore-excursions If you see a new excursion you might prefer, you'll need to call to cancel the excursion you already booked to book the new one.

Bummer. I'm going one week too late!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BirdTravels Posted June 7, 2018 Author #267 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Each afternoon, the Observation Lounge offers an Afternoon Tea. It features scones with cream and jelly. And a whole bunch more. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am on The Bliss to Alaska in mid-September and now I am not only very excited, but also very hungry! Enjoy the rest of your trip and keep the updates coming.

hladygirl Posted June 7, 2018 #270 Share Posted June 7, 2018 But I would like to know how crowded was the Observation lounge on this cruise? Was it not bad or unbearable? Chair hogs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blissful Cruiser Posted June 7, 2018 #271 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Wondering if I could ask one more favor of you? We have a 10-year-old and I'm not sure that I want to buy him the specialty dining plan as he is a VERY picky eater - everything must be plain! I read in the dailies that there is a special kids menu that is free in the specialty restaurants - I'm wondering if you wouldn't mind snapping and posting a photo of it? As always this is much appreciated!!! love your thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davesgirl51 Posted June 7, 2018 #274 Share Posted June 7, 2018 BirdTravels - your pics are amazing ! We did the Tracy Arm Fjords ‘cruise’ several years ago and one should do it once. There was indeed so much ice at Dawes that the Captain wasn’t able to do two complete turnarounds. In Ketchikan, we live thaw Wild Exploration and crab feast - all you can eat Dungeness Crab - so sweet. Have done that excursions 5 times! In Juneau, we just went to Tracy’s Crab Shack (across the parking lot from where the shuttle drops you off at the base of the Mt. Roberts tram. Very good but pricey. Gold panning and salmon bake is fun and great food. Today we took a 6 hour Yukon Scenic Drive and saw many stunning lakes, a cinnamon “black” bear that looked brown, a very busy eating dandelions Black bear and a very young black bear on the rocks. Lots of fun, weather has been pretty awesome for Alaska. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
