FredZiffle Posted October 25, 2023 #1 Share Posted October 25, 2023 I struggled with coming up with a title for this post. I'm trying to find out the email address for whoever on the Bliss would be responsible for giving a group of 12-16 people a location to play bridge on sea days. Too often, left to their own devices, the ships either ignore this completely, schedule it in an already filled library or game room, or schedule it over lunch hour. The times it's been done right, they put an announcement every sea day in the Freestyle Daily and schedule it for an unused restaurant. I just need the correct email to contact them.

FLAHAM Posted October 26, 2023 #2 Share Posted October 26, 2023 (edited) On transatlantic cruises (with many sea days), NCL provides a bridge instructor and director (usually a married couple). On sea days, they offer a beginner lesson, an intermediate lesson and a two-hour duplicate game. These events tend to draw about 50 players in my experience and are held in an unused restaurant. No charge. There is always a gap between events for lunch hour. Edited October 26, 2023 by FLAHAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Anoynmous Phoenix Posted October 26, 2023 #3 Share Posted October 26, 2023 @FredZiffle Try both of the following SpecialeventsBliss@ncl.com. and groupeventBliss@NCL Include the Sail Date in the subject line of your email. Be clear about what you want, for how long, how many and what days. One or other of those should be able to help, Ask that, if they can't they pass on to someone who can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has this been reintroduced? It was missing the last couple of long cruises we have been on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLAHAM Posted October 26, 2023 #5 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Yes. Have not seen it on other than transatlantics. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're lucky if it's even mentioned in the Daily as an informal gathering. The last cruise listed in the Freestyle Daily with a start time of 12 noon on sea days and located it in the internet cafe where space was at a premium and always filled. They had no cards and, needless to say, no games materialized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLAHAM Posted October 26, 2023 #7 Share Posted October 26, 2023 I have taken six transatlantic cruises on NCL, including one in the past year. All had bridge programs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
