noeldog Posted November 16, 2018 #1 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Hi: I am looking at booking the Bliss for a Panama Canal transit in 2020 out of New York. What would be the best choice of cabins, balcony on side of ship or an aft balcony? and if aft is deck 9 beter than say deck 12 or is it too low to view going through canal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Other Tom Posted November 17, 2018 #2 Share Posted November 17, 2018 IMO, you'll want to be all over the ship watching the transit....front, aft, port, starboard. You can do that if you get on one of the open decks and walk side to side and/or back to front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare www3traveler Posted November 17, 2018 #3 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I booked a Studio for my Panama Cruise. There is so much outdoor space to watch. Hopefully on your cruise at least part of the bow area will be open. Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skierjj Posted November 18, 2018 #4 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Having been on the Bliss for the inaugural Panama Canal crossing, 5/18, I wish we had booked the aft. The aft is great for the rest of the trip as well. We were all over the ship during the locks and Gatun lake. It is fascinating no matter where you watch. The narration is great and enhances the experience. It is beautiful and relaxing and educational all at once. What a thrill. We had a side facing balcony towards the aft. If you don’t book the aft, deck 8 aft is a great viewing place for the locks. It’s all good, no matter what you choose. Happy sailing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BirdTravels Posted November 18, 2018 #5 Share Posted November 18, 2018 On the Bliss, Joy, Encore, we booked rooms on Deck 15 near the observation lounge. Short walk in to see 270 degree views. Short walk to a private bar and snack buffet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amypete Posted February 24, 2019 #6 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I am looking to book a PC one as well - looking at LA to MIA in 2020. First time on NCL so I am totally new to all the NCL lingo! We do like aft locations so hopefully my TA can find a good one for me as I switch the one I had booked this fall to next fall. Any advice to a newbie NCL cruiser would be great!
