IrishColleen53 Posted June 7, 2018 #28 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I have been looking at the Dailies that have been posted and don't see the martini tasting that I have enjoyed in the past. NCL would have the on sea days. I was looking forward to these during my September Bliss cruise. Does anyone know if they still do them? Thanks!

On Facebook they quoted the assistant manager of the buffet...she said the Seafood buffet will not always be on the same night each cruise, so that would move some of the other buffet highlights to a different night. Hope this helps. Sent from my SM-N950U using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motegi Posted June 10, 2018 Author #36 Share Posted June 10, 2018 We had snow crab legs at the buffet on Skagway Day (Wednesday). I know that they had them before that as well as we had talked to people on our excursion who had missed having them the first time they were offered and had complained to the staff and received a complimentary specialty dining pass as compensation.

Motegi Posted June 11, 2018 Author #39 Share Posted June 11, 2018 MotegiHow was your embarkation process??? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Embarkation was among the fastest we’ve ever experienced. We arrived at our designated time, around 10:30. We left our luggage with the porters and were directed toward the check in line. The line was very short. Actually the way they had it roped off took longer to wind back and forth between the ropes than the time it took to actually process the passengers. It was like a maze... They were actively adding more turns even while we were walking through it! LOL!!! The security x ray attendant and I had a great conversation about our watch collections and I think he might just look into going on the Invicta Full Ship Charter with us in February 2019 on the Carnival Victory! Next we just walked right up to the check in desk with no line and received our cruise cards. We were handed “Group 1” boarding cards and so we simply walked over and boarded. ZERO wait! There were some other passengers who were sitting in benches around the check in area. I’m not sure why. Perhaps they were waiting for family? The one thing I found a little unusual is that the NCL photographers were not taking embarkation pictures anywhere. For every other cruise I’ve been on there is a photo with the ships image on a backdrop that all passengers take before heading up the gangway. This was not offered for our sailing on the Bliss. It was only much later during the cruise that one of the onboard photo areas was setup with a ship image backdrop. Perhaps they forgot? Was it for speed and efficiency? Or is this a new change in procedure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kodesthemoose Posted June 11, 2018 #42 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Thanks for sharing, Motegi!

Talbot12 Posted August 6, 2018 #43 Share Posted August 6, 2018 I’m starting a thread for the Freestyle Dailies for the 2018 Bliss 7-day Alaska itinerary. June 2, 2018 Day 1 Thank you! I've always wondered if they use the same 'Dailies' and just change the dates... Anyone on here go after this sailing and see they are exact? I'm curious on the Bliss if they ever did any outside movies under the stars? Thanks again for sharing. We went to Alaska last year with NCL and are excited to tryout the Bliss this year!

On my pages one of the ads is for a kitchen mixer I've been considering buying. Why, what ads are showing up for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NLBarry Posted August 19, 2018 #49 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Thanks for posting these. Made planning for our seven day cruise easier for specialty dinners and booking entertainment. We will be doing the Eastern Caribbean departing Dec 8th and have been able to book two shows and one restaurant so far and the days line up with these dailies. If the Bliss is like the Epic and Escape were we will probably have to wait and book the rest of the shows on the ship. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurley7 Posted August 19, 2018 #50 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Thanks for posting these! Quick question based on Dallies, you don’t reserve Beatlemania show? Sent from my iPhone using Forums They don't take reservations and it is always PACKED. I would arrive and stake out a spot at least 45 minutes early.
