Customer reviews for Norwegian Bliss

I would definitely recommend Planet Cruise and will use them again. Everything went very smoothly, and it was very good value for money.

A truly wonderful ship, tastefully decorated. High quality entertainment, and the staff try very hard to please.

Great ship and crew.

Bliss is an amazing ship and the attention to detail is amazing. It’s huge which means during a at sea day, it’s packed but when we docked and most people got off, it was fantastic. The cavern club let’s the ship down as it’s too small compared with Epic. The spa is amazing and well worth paying for access to the facilities. Embarkation was a nightmare as too few buses to move everyone quickly. In summary, beautiful ship with a couple of hitched.
