Rare aubreyc1988 Posted October 27, 2021 Author #126 Share Posted October 27, 2021 We went to see SIX after dinner, then karaoke last night, as well as the decades party. SIX was good, and other events were fun Today we are in Puerto Vallarta and doing a catamaran shore excursion! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtlantaCruiser72 Posted October 27, 2021 #129 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Has Six replaced Jersey Boys on the Bliss? If so that’s a shame - Jersey Boys is such a great show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpjb Posted October 27, 2021 #131 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Love reading this so far. We're doing the Bliss on this itinerary in January so it's a great preview. IF you have a chance to ask someone, could you find out if the ship is remaining at the low capacity for the time being, or are they increasing it over time? Just wondering (hoping) if we'll still be around 60% in January, or if we'll have a full ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like our sailing on Dec 5th is still at just over 50% booked. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandncruisers Posted October 27, 2021 #133 Share Posted October 27, 2021 That's great news about the Dec 5 sailing, we are on that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trivimp Posted October 27, 2021 #134 Share Posted October 27, 2021 We're on that one too! Don't forget to sign up for the meet & greet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdmbluerzr Posted October 27, 2021 #135 Share Posted October 27, 2021 We are on the one right after yours. Dec 12. Hope capacity at that time is still at 60% or less levels, understand that is not all that great for NCL, but fun for the rest of us! Either way, excited to board that beautiful ship and sail away. Enjoy your cruise everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebay33 Posted October 27, 2021 #136 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Me too! Are we up to 50% yet? I've counted at least 7 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare aubreyc1988 Posted October 28, 2021 Author #139 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Dinner was just ok, the mashed potato croquettes were good but my pork belly was pretty tough in Taste. Illusionist was good, not the best I’ve seen but not the worst, was fun! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesIowa Posted October 28, 2021 #141 Share Posted October 28, 2021 We’re on the 5 Dec cruise and loving this review so far. Could you please talk a little more about the embarkation process with testing? We’re going to try for vibe passes and the tried-and-true method of just arriving early to get a low boarding number doesn’t seem relevant anymore. thanks, enjoy your cruise!

When we don’t like the entrées offered on the daily menu we always fall back on the Herb-crusted rotisserie chicken on the classic menu. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OrcaGirl Posted October 28, 2021 #143 Share Posted October 28, 2021 That excursion looks fantastic! If you get a chance, would love to see a pic of the list of excursions that were available to book onboard. Considering a last-minute booking, but guessing that much like Alaska, the availability of excursions might be more limited than normal times.

There wasn’t any new excursions that were added on the ship vs what was available onboard, at least to me knowledge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I mean usually early in the cruise the steward leaves a flyer in your cabin from the Shore Excursions desk that lists what ship excursions still have availability for your sailing, e.g. if you didn't book in advance. I've looked at the master list of NCL shore excursions available for the Mexican Riviera ports and so many of them look AMAZING but (as with our sailing on the Encore to Alaska earlier this month) I wouldn't be surprised if all of them weren't actually on offer due to COVID-related logistics or if the coolest ones got snapped up fast. So I'm just curious what might be available for last-minute bookers... 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do remember hearing the excursion staff saying most stuff was sold out on day 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're booked on that I. 2 weeks. Glad to hear yours was fun. Didn't see it available on our cruise. Thanks again for all the updates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
