Thank you ❤️

We got transfers through NCL for $35 pp each way from Newark to the port and back so your transfers don't seem too bad considering the exchange rate. Can you cancel the hotel you have with them and book your own? Those transfers seem so expensive considering there are hotels that offer free shuttle to airport. Not knowing where you're flying into and where the hotel is makes it somewhat difficult to offer suggestions but what we did is this - flew into Newark, booked hotel near the airport that had a free shuttle. Stayed overnight and then took shuttle back to airport to catch transfers to ship. Regardless of which airport you fly into, you should be able to find something similar.

We're on in July (also affected) and decided to book a plane ride because it picks up closer to the ship. One of the main reasons I booked this cruise (besides being my 50th birthday) was to cruise the Na Pali Coast and see it from our aft balcony. While we'll still keep the aft balcony, I'm disappointed to not be cruising it. They didn't let us know until after payment.

My understanding is anything issues by NCL is an nonrefundable credit (stockholder benefit). I am not sure if the card gives refundable or nonrefundable but I'm guessing it's nonrefundable. The only time I get refundable credit is when it comes from my travel agent. I use the points from the credit card to pay the balance.

The laundry bag is 21 inches x 14 inches. I don't line the bag and I stuff it pretty full and haven't had it rip but I'm pretty careful with it.

When I was booking my cruise, I was able to pick and choose the Free at Sea that I wanted. I didn't want the beverage package but I did want the specialty dining and wifi. I just unchecked the boxes during booking. Is that not an option for you?

We were told we'd have to rebook for our cruise in July 2023. The price had gone up considerably so even with the 10%, the fee was more than what we originally booked for.

On the Bliss, I made reservations in the comedy club for our room and for my parents (who were not there at the time) . They didn't ask for anything other than their room number and last name.

This is the document that was left in our room in early July

That sounds lovely - I can't wait!

This is wonderful - thank you! I love trains so this is an added bonus for me! I’ll add it to my post.

Thanks! I can't wait to see it!

Thanks to all of you for your contributions. I will be sharing with my group on Facebook for this cruise so we all know what we're passing. Here is the final draft I have created. If you have anything else to add, or if I've made any mistakes, please let me know. Sailing from Manhattan Cruise Terminal you will have the best overall sightseeing tour. My favorite viewing spot is on a forward open deck under the Bridge, if the ship has one. One can go from Portside to Starboardside as well as getting a view forward as the ship sails down the River. As navybankerteacher said, then moving to a top deck before going under the Narrows Bridge will provide a memorable view. If not, you want to be on the port side for a great view of New York City. You'll sail along the length of Manhattan from Midtown to the Battery and then, moving to the starboard side, you’ll have a great view of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Often times ships sailing from Manhattan will have a narration over the ships loudspeaker to let you know what you are sailing past. You will sail under the Narrows Bridge which can be a treat depending on how large your ship is (and how much it looks like you might hit the bottom of the bridge). Once through the bridge Fort Hamilton is directly on your left and Fort Wadsworth on your right. A bit further sailing you'll see Coney Island also on the left-- you can see the parachute drop tower and also the giant ferris wheels. You might see some bright lights on the coast if you are on the starboard side of the ship about 5 or 6 hours after sailing. That is Atlantic City. Since it is dark at that time, the lights will be easily seen, even though I love using binoculars to see what's around. We have seen those lights several times, and I finally thought to ask a worker on the bridge if that was AC. After doing some mental calculations, he did confirm. I can't remember now what time we set sail and what time we saw the lights. It's a nice sight if you happen to catch it. After that it's into open water. If you are sailing back into Manhattan a lot of folks also like getting up super early to see the early morning sail past the Statue of Liberty on the return-- its usually a little less crowded than the outbound sail past. Many thanks to Princeton 123211, navybankerteacher, rkacruiser, mskaufman, George C, mjkacmom, and mar214 on cruisecritic for their contributions to this tour.

Not that I am aware of. There was a run on light beer but I didn't hear anything about vodka.

Recent Freestyle Dailies from Bliss Alaska cruise

Thanks to all! I have compiled your notes and will share with our cruise group. Here are your compiled notes in case you need them for something else. As you leave the pier in Seattle, some of your best Seattle views will be from the aft or the back of the ship. Since all the ships will be sailing north, you will have a great view of the Seattle skyline, and if it is a clear day, an amazing view of Mt. Rainier, one of the tallest mountains in the lower 48. Aside from the Seattle skyline, the passage through Puget Sound will involve sights of forested land and mountains on both sides of the ship. You’ll be traveling north through Puget Sound until you enter the Strat of Juan de Fuca, which separates Washington and Vancouver Island, then out to open ocean where you’ll hang a right and continue north to the west of Vancouver Island. As you move north into the Salish Sea (AKA Puget Sound), you will see two sets of mountain ranges, the Olympics to the west (port), and the Cascades on the east (starboard). If visible, you ought to be able to see the high Cascade peaks of Mount Rainier (south and east of Seattle) and Mount Baker (north of the city, close to the Canadian border), considered a thermally active volcano, as well as other mountains in the Cascade Range. To the west/port side, you ought to be able to see the Olympic mountains, in Olympic National Park. A bit further north, you will pass by Whidbey Island (and its cliffs on the southside). There is a Navy Growler training center where the pilots practice take-offs and landings (for carrier duty). Once you’re in the strait, the Olympics will be to the south (still port side) of the ship, and on the north side, you’ll be able to see Vancouver Island. There might be some towns visible in the distance, such as Edmonds, Everett, and Port Townsend, plus Port Angeles at the top of the Olympic peninsula, but nothing too close. You may see ferries sailing across Puget Sound about 45 minutes after leaving Seattle. This would be the Edmonds to Kingston ferry run. Since the Seattle cruise ships set sail between 4pm and 5:30pm, after the first hour of sailing, many folks are either back in their staterooms getting ready to dinner, or finishing unpacking. What I mentioned will cover the first 90 minutes or so of your cruise. Although it’s not uncommon at all, there is a nonzero chance you might see some orcas en route, and of course lots of seabirds. After attending the sail away party on the aft Lido Deck with the city skyline no longer visible, I went to the Crow’s Nest and watched our passage until I had to leave to get ready for dinner. Very, very scenic. Thanks to Ferry_Watcher, Gardyloo, and rkacruiser on Cruisecritic for their insights.

Thanks! I asked on Facebook as well and someone mentioned they saw it in Food Republic so I’ll check when I get on the Bliss next month. Fingers crossed.

I was going through the NCL Beverage List (that I found on here somewhere but not sure where) and I noticed in the non-alcoholic section that they have a few milk tea/boba drinks listed. Does anyone know where you would get these on the ship? Are these only for sailings in Asia? Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA!

Thanks - I'd love to see that! I used to work in Atlantic City. It would be nice to see it again.

That is PERFECT!!! Not sure how much of that we'll actually be able to see from the ship but it helps. Thank you!

Thanks! Your opportunity to view everything from the Crow’s Nest sounds amazing.
