Thanks Tony for a wonderful tour. Please take care of your knee. After seeing this tour think I will look at the Bliss for 2026. Thank you for all you do for us. 😊
Yessss!!!! I am so excited you did this. I'm doing the eastbound TA on Bliss on its way into drydock in January. It will actually be my 3rd of 4 TAs in 4 months: Oasis westbound post-drydock 2 weeks ago, Encore westbound post-drydock next month, Bliss eastbound pre-drydock in January, and Allure eastbound pre-drydock in February. At that point I will have done 12 cruises in 15 months including 6 TAs!! I'm posting this in the FB group for the cruise. Cheers!!
Hi Tony, I must say you are impressive, you go on a ship that you never been on before and you give a tour like you been on it forever, you're a class act Brother this is why you are loved so much by your viewers, looks like you recovered well you are walking pretty good, God Bless you Tony, hope to sail one day with you soon, please keep me in prayer I go for a Heart Cath procedure Friday to determine if the arteries going to my heart have blockage. Thank you so much, God Bless and stay safe.
Great video Tony. I was on the Bliss right before your trip. The blocked off area on the observation lounge was for the latitude cocktail party with the captain and crew. Loved the Bliss. 😁🌹❤️
That walk in closet is almost as big as one of their solo cabins, which by the way are the very best at sea. Sailed on the Encore once. I love Norwegian.
The solo studio cabin is small (99 sq ft), but it's doable for a 7 day cruise. Next year in 2025, I'm doing "regular" vacation type stuff, but in 2026, I plan to get a solo balcony, for a TA cruise.
Hi Tony. The Haven beds are the most comfortable beds I've slept on at sea. Great ship tour. All those stairs, was making my legs hurt. I hope you rested some while doing the tour. Beautiful ship and I do like all the included area's to eat. As always thank you for all you do and take care of that knee. ❤
The suspense is killing me. I am dying to hear about the bill on your medical visit. We had an incident a few weeks ago on their last cruise to Alaska.
I played mini golf on that ship. It was a great Ship for our 15-day Panama transit. Tony, I am so sorry your knee is hurting! That is an area with its own special pain. I will say, though, that this pace of ship tour is much more my Jam! Your filming is really good, too. When people move too fast through the tour, it not only makes me dizzy, but it feels like I am missing the experience. Thank you for sharing your Bliss experience.
@@raybrown8887 There are lots. My favorites were the whale and arch tours in Cabo. Also, for the transit, get up really early and reserve a spot in the observation lounge. It's the best view without the heat.
We were on the Bliss just two weeks ago and on the Escape back in March. As a comparison, there's several areas we liked better on the Escape:The Waves Pool bar which overlooks the pool on the Escape is not on the Bliss. Spice H2O (The aft dance party venue) is much larger on the Escape and includes large TV screens - overall a better layout which lends to more energy. O'Sheenan's Irish Bar on the Escape also seems to bring more energy with its theming than The Local on the Bliss which is very generic.
That ship looks fabulous, and I just priced it. Considering the included drinks, wifi, excursion credits, and specialty dining, the price is not too bad! Solo cabin - $1781
Thank you for the tour. I'll be doing the trans-Atlantic on January 4 as the Bliss makes its way to drydock. Changes and upgrades are expected, most notably adding staterooms to the port side of deck 15 by removing part of the observation lounge.
Great Tour Tony!.. We did NCL Joy a few years back & it was very enjoyable & yes the food was well done, from MDR, the Local, Buffett & the specialty restaurants 👍
I have noticed as the cruisetubers have gotten more popular that most of them are cruising in the more expensive, more exclusive areas of the ship that a lot of us can’t afford. As prices have increased, I am barely affording a standard balcony cabin in the “cheap” areas of the ship. I guess it is nice to dream about staying in a cabin with such perks, but I doubt I would ever spend that much when I generally cruise more for the port itinerary rather than the ship. That said, I hope you have enjoyed this cruise and all the perks in the Haven. 😊
I loved my trip to Alaska on the Bliss this summer. The Indian food in the buffet was so good. Loved my so quiet inside cabin. I slept so well in there.
Hi Tony, about a year after the Bliss first sailed, I watched a tour of the ship, and like I said in another video of yours, (think it was The Haven video) I've been wanting to sail on this ship for several years now, especially since I'm only 12 miles from the port. Watching your tour has re-sparked my interest. Obviously The Haven looks amazing, but the rest of the ship is beautiful too. I love the layout and it seems like it has a lot of well thought out space. Great tour buddy!!
Thanks for a great video, brought back lots of great memories from our Panama Canal cruise just after the Omicron covid wave in January 2022 - for us, that was the best cruise ever, since the ship was only 1/3 full. We're booked on the sister ship (Encore) at the beginning of February, looking forward to that one too!
Great ship tour Tony! Drooling over all things HAVEN! You may have mentioned in a previous video but we could barely hear the wind against your microphone so was wondering exactly what you are using cause it’s working really well! Hope your knee feels better soon. Gary relates.❤
That cabin is lovely! I could get used to that kind of luxury. ☺️ Only problem would be that I would find it hard to go back to a normal cabin after experiencing The Haven. 😂 I do love NCL. 😊 My hubby is just under 300lb now. He would LOVE those go carts! 😎 If there were some sort of multi-pass I would probably not see him the entire cruise! 😂
We loved the miniature golf. the warerfront and the observation lounge. The hidden room corridor on deck 8 was a great place to stay. We had a larger balcony club suite and an adjoining room with my brother. We did room service for breakfast and it was really good. We did the Alaskan cruise in May, had a couple rough sea days with the complimentary bags on the stairs.
I've also heard that Los Lobos will be removed to make Cagneys larger. I'm on the February Transatlantic after drydock. I haven't been on Bliss since her first Panama canal cruise and first Alaska cruise in 2018, but still consider her my favorite ship. Hopefully I'll still love her after the refurbishment.
I love that there is containment of the smoke in the smoking casino. Looks plenty busy in the non smoking area. None of the stench rolling around the rest of the ship.
I did the drop slide while docked in Ward Cove, Alaska. Its a lot of fun, you just gotta keep your legs crossed or you wont make it up the other side. Make sure you also go to the hot tub on the Port side of the spice H2O otherwise you will get blasted with all the smoke from the smoking area. The go karts say a limit of 300lbs on the website but it was actually 250lbs on the sign on the ship and they will weigh you if you think you are too big.
Love the Bliss. Have already taken 2 Alaska cruises on it and have my third scheduled in May. I stay in the Club Balcony cabins. If you go to Alaska you should get a balcony cabin because of the view. Someday I hope for a Haven cabin. FYI the Spa staff is wonderful.
Where are all the people? I have now sailed on the Bliss twice and booked for the westbound TA in February. Love the bliss. Also, I think the go carts are weight limited at 250. I'm working on that myself because I want to drive a go cart in the middle of the ocean. Thanks Tony!
The 'upper levels' really looked empty on the early part of this tour... I guess that bodes well for folks that like to cruise, but don't want constant people interaction? Thanks as always for the tour of the ship, good sir!
In 13 days I'm on Joy 15 nights Miami to L.A. through the Panama canal. Trying out one of the new solo balconies. Really excited. I'll have Platinum status when it's done. I wanted to try Los Lobos, but it's not on Joy. I was sorry to learn that the 20oz Porterhouse is no longer at Cagney's. I have decided to try to not sail on anything older than Breakaway Plus going forward. Bliss or better if I can.
How large is the solo balcony?? PS. When you get off in LA, the ship will be parked right behind the USS Iowa. If you aren't flying home, right away, you should take a tour.
@@billkallas1762 NCL says: Balcony: 19-34 m2 Solo Balcony: 19-34 m2 So both are roughly the same. Thanks for the advise on Iowa. My flight's at 16:45 but I bought a transfer, so I'm direct to LAX from the pier.
So on NCL, if you are a Haven passenger your Haven restaurant and Garden Court and Local Cafe and Main Dining Rooms are all included; but all the other smaller Specialty Restaurants and bars are a la carte?
That's such a big ship, but it surprising how few people three are on board. Except for the bars and casino, the ship looks to be only about 1/4 of full capacity. How full was the ship Tony, if you know?
Where is everybody? Usually the pool deck is packed, with people "saving" seats (Even though NCL says it's not allowed, for more than 15 minutes) PS. You could have used the rear elevator, to ride up to 17, from 16, to miss the steps. PSS. I believe that I hit every bar on the Encore, multiple times a day (except the Haven bar)
we sailed on the Bliss last year in alaska. we werent fans of how they have everything (resteraunts/shopping) split up between decks. we prefer how Royal has most everything on a central deck. we had a hard time remembering where everything was.

Just booked my Bliss cruise this morning. My first solo in a studio. I'm so excited!!!
Can't wait to welcome you on board Norwegian Bliss!
You are correct, sir . . . that is one purdy ship!
That bathroom is where its at. Beautiful cabin through and through
Thank you for that wonderful tour!

What a nice compliment to Tony 😊 he’s pretty amazing.
The bliss is one of my absolute favorite NCL ships! The Encore is my Favorite but the bliss is right up there.
Wow that is some ship! The Haven area is just so peaceful😊So many places to eat😮
Great video Tony. I was on the Bliss right before your trip. The blocked off area on the observation lounge was for the latitude cocktail party with the captain and crew.
Loved the Bliss. 😁🌹❤️
Thank you, Tony, great tour of a beautiful ship. This is one I haven't been on but looking at it here in the near future.
😊
Wonderful tour Tony. Certainly lots of things to do and enjoy cruising in style. Thanks for posting. Safe traveling. Cheers.
The view on deck 16 was fabulous. Thanks again for the tour.
Going on the Bliss in a couple of weeks! Thanks for the tour. It doesn't look too crowded. Maybe because it's a chilly day
Yeah! Where are all the people? Was the ship 100% full?
I will see you on the 6th
C U on the 1st…
Imagine being on this cruise ship through the fjords. Amazing 😻
Ship looks great! Thanks for the tour.

Best layout of any cruise ship. Stayed on deck 14, best location to get to everything.

Tony
Great tour. Your knee issue certainly did not prevent you from taking stairs or other obstacles that might limit your tour. Thank you!
Too funny that the jogging track goes through the diner 😂,The true meaning of eat and run !
Hey Steve! Steve is just chillin 😎
It makes me so happy to see him relaxing and having a good time with Tony.
Terrific tour show once again. Thanks Tony.
Sailing on the Bliss in February, can't wait!! Thanks for the tour. I have sailed on the Joy and loved it, but the Bliss looks a little higher end.
Can't wait to welcome you on board Norwegian Bliss!
Thank you for the tour on the NCL BLISS.
Thanks Tony !
What a beautiful ship! The heaven looks amazing! Thank you Tony!
Couldn't agree more - The Haven is heaven!
Mega tour for sure! Looks really nice.
@48:26 Cow + Art ="Cowart", leave it to Tony to make me smile.

I loved my trip to Alaska on the Bliss this summer. The Indian food in the buffet was so good. Loved my so quiet inside cabin. I slept so well in there.
I did that, mid June, on the Bliss (No rain on port days)
Thanks Tony even with a bum knee you rock a walkabout..the observation lounge is my favorite
You didn't go out to the waterfront. But that's okay it's like a hidden gem. Always quiet and relaxing. My favorite place for sure
Shhhhh 🤫

You are a pro my friend…great video and commentary
I am going to try this ship due to your tour.
Oh that’s great! We hope you have an amazing time.
@ Thanks for your encouragement.
We love the Bliss! I was so bummed that we missed you by one week. We were on the Bliss Nov 3 - 10th and had an amazing time!
I've been on the Bliss 3 times, Going to Alaska in August on her! The Bliss is my favorite!
Doing the Bliss for thanksgiving. Very excited.
Can't wait to welcome you on board Norwegian Bliss! Thanksgiving is such a wonderful time to cruise! 💙
This will be my 3rd or 4th time on the Bliss

I’d love to try this ship !
Thanks for the cruise ship tours I doubt I'll ever get to step in one w my health issues and it's to see what they all look like🎉
I am glad you’re able to get around a little better. Hopefully once you arrive home they will figure out what’s going on. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🐬🐬
Kids would take over the hot tubs, no room for anyone else to use. The back of the ship is the adults only deck 16. great view when in the hot tubs.
Wow, 1 Billion dollars for that cruise ship or a 100 day campaign. Nice review.
I'm looking forward to our Panama canal cruise soon. Thanks for sharing, Tony!
Doing that one in less than a month, so looking forward to it.
Sorry about your knee! Take care of yourself.
I was just the Piano player in The District Brew House. Must have just missed Ya!

@dianakautz2522 don't forget that a large portion of the portside observation is being turned into balcony staterooms.
Also @@dianakautz2522see you onboard. I might be making another after drydock tour.
@@schoondog Yes, that's sad too. We were on Joy's Transatlantic this year after her drydock, and they did the same to her.
I love that there is containment of the smoke in the smoking casino. Looks plenty busy in the non smoking area. None of the stench rolling around the rest of the ship.

surprised they didn't have a lego norwegian bliss...just crossed on one of our BC ferries and they had a lego of the ferry, spirit of vancouver island
I’m going on Bliss in a couple of weeks. Love that you were able to film this. How was the gambling on board?
Let the countdown begin! Can't wait to welcome you on board Norwegian Bliss!
How cold was it that noone was on the Haven Sundeck? Beautiful ship
Weather was bad. Cold and windy.
We are going on Dec 9-21 through Asia. I hope it’s a good one. Taking the in-laws

Nice cabin but would trade that tub for a large shower any day.

No
@@LaLidoLoca Thanks!
I'll be on the Bliss in Feb 2025 when it comes out of dry dock!!

What are the little tasseled pyramids between the orange water and little honey jars? The tassels look somewhat like bean sprouts???
Tea
They sell LEGO ON THE SHIP?!?!? 🤯🤯 I’m gonna have to search on my next cruise!
we sailed on the Bliss last year in alaska. we werent fans of how they have everything (resteraunts/shopping) split up between decks. we prefer how Royal has most everything on a central deck. we had a hard time remembering where everything was.
Such a company man now
For sure!
Don't miss the Beatles show if it is still offered.
It was still offered they were able to see it and loved it.
It's better to see them in the Cavern, but they also have a show, or two, or three, in the main theater.
How much do you tip the butler
Didn’t use him much. $40
Will you only book The Haven going forward?
It’s probably out of my every cruise budget, but would like to attempt it once a year.
Looks so much like their Encore ship. 🚢
Yes. Sister ship.
I did an Encore sailing a couple of years ago, and absolutely loved that ship. Betting the Bliss has to be every bit as good.
Norwegian Bliss and Norwegian Encore are sister ships! 👯♀
Where is Diet pop and how does it cost to have a cabin in the Haven?
It costs lots.
Do they have plus size bathrobes?
I don’t know.
How come nobody is around doing things? Very few people? Is it the weather?
On the top decks ya. It was cold and windy.
Oh, I thought it was lighter fare as in Low Calorie .
9 days!
