Even smaller, yet nicer in a good number of ways. Looking forward to the rest of your review. We'll be on the Bliss at the end of August for the first week of September leg of the Alaska season.

Rainier were beautiful! well to the hotel it was hour and fifteen, but the driver didn’t take the most direct route. It was 10 minutes to the cruise terminal from the hotel. Glad you liked them!

But Alaskan Airlines doesn't fly into there anymore and neither does JetBlue. My 2 favorite airlines. Southwest has pretty much taken over Long Beach airport. We will fly Southwest if no other choice but miss first class. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowmeboy Posted July 29 Author #31 Share Posted July 29 Sunday, March 31st, 2024 Embarkation Day Location: Los Angeles, California We headed down to the lobby for breakfast. Lobby of the Hotel Average Hotel Breakfast We then headed back up to the room to finish packing and to relax a bit before heading to the pier. We are watching some TV and the power went out. The whole hotel went black. We are on the 4th floor and no power means no elevator. So we hiked down the stairs with our bags. The hotel did a manual checkout and we decided we were heading to the pier. Our bags while waiting for the Uber. Denny's next door had power... The light had power... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowmeboy Posted July 30 Author #41 Share Posted July 30 After lunch, it was off to the Bliss Lounge for the Shot Glass exchange! Sydney and Susan looking at a shot glass. Susan picked this one, then it got stolen from us! then Susan picked this one, and it got stolen from us! We ended up with one that Andy and Sydney really liked and they had one we liked. So we made a trade after it was all done. Here is the Shot glass we ended with after trading Andy and Sydney @fastpitchdad Did the family member like the shot glass? As it was getting close to sailaway, we made our way to deck 8. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowmeboy Posted July 30 Author #45 Share Posted July 30 We finally headed to our stateroom. We had to have our keycards rekeyed at guest services first. Plus Susan randomly found our bags no where near our room, due to having to old stateroom number, and brought them to our stateroom. We got changed and it was time for dinner. Deviled Eggs Loaded Fries Pitmaster Platter Pulled Pork the sides Aunt Josie's Mason Jar Banana Pudding Pecan Pie The results... Now, my only critique is put real whipped cream on the banana pudding instead of meringue. Meringue is nasty. It needed whipped cream. Stopping by Starbucks to get a non-caffeinated drink. Then it was off to bed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, as a Chemisty PHD candidate I am surprised he didn't already know that the Peridodic Symbol TE is for Tequila.

NikiPinkston Posted August 2 #48 Share Posted August 2 Yay, another @shadowmeboy review! Thank you so much for sharing another cruise with us. Last time we were on the Bliss out of L.A. (round-trip to Mexico) we got up early on debarkation day so that we could watch as the captain backed the ship up the channel into port. It was pretty awesome! Really looking forward to your Pride of America review as we love that ship, too, Matthew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
