Cruisercl

I would think that the Carnival corporation, which includes several cruise lines, would be able to have one. It would be a good start. IMO. Maybe industry sharing would be in order for passenger safety purposes. Airlines have lists like these.

Just as an FYI... I just was on the Bliss and left about $30 of non-refendable OBC on my bill. They did not allow it for daily gratuities which was allowed for me, previously, on other ships. Had I known I would have spent it, live and learn. I did spend it on room service and stuff bought in the shops. Did not try to buy CruiseNext. Anything else not allowed to be spent on non-refundable OBC? A review would be helpful for those of us not 100% sure. 😎

Thank you so much! Your review is great; you are a talented writer and picture taker/poster. Safe travels. 😊

I have a question, when your cruise was cruising through the 'arms', did you have a naturalist/ranger giving commentary and info about the area etc.? When we were on Princess to Alaska, pre-pandemic, albeit a few years ago there was one speaking and showing us things on the shore etc. It added so much to the cruise! Any help is appreciated! 😎

@BennyBrun, your pictures are great, I could just weep!!! I just got off the Bliss this AM. Very glad to see the weather turned nice for your sailaway. It was cloudy and dreary when we disembarked this morning. Had a great cruise, no complaints, lots of fun. I love the Bliss. I have not been on her before and she is my new favorite ship. A couple of things, the bartenders were told last Thursday, starting Friday they could choose to wear or not wear a mask, their choice. Now, if this is the same on your cruise, IDK. I was told by a bartender that our cruise was 70%full, take that source as you wish. Have a great cruise!!!! 😎

@michael2467 OP, have you ever been on a cruise?

I love the term, flying noisemakers.....that is exactly what they are! Here are some more.

I am watching too! They both look beautiful...

I am thinking that is why it is on your card; usually people have it with them.

IMO, you should keep both. Does your husband normally have a strong voice on your wardrobe and what you wear? They are both very beautiful and very appropriate cruise wear. When I find a style of something I like and fits well I often will buy a couple of them in different colors/patterns. I think this is pretty common with women as clothes don't fit or look the same from designer to designer. All women know what I mean. Keep both and have a great time on your cruise. You will look fabulous! Safe sailing! I forgot to ask, is your husband color blind? It is more prevalent in males. My brother is color blind so that came to mind too.

Yup!

Not always. The airlines claim to have size restrictions with carry-ons but rarely are they enforced. I imagine they do not want to upset the business traveler; I did business travel and most business travelers do not check bags so often cases are larger and would not qualify to the size restrictions. We have all seen those people. Now with bag fees the tourist traveler does the same thing, I get it. The only time I saw strict bag measuring was in EU, never in the US.

@watson61, I hear ya! I also have had many pretty rude, unprovoked things said to me. I have learned to laugh right at the person. I am sure lots of solo cruisers, especially women have had things said and behaviors that are unbelievable. On a Celebrity cruise, I asked for set dining ( I usually don't); I was at a table of 8. One woman was blantantly rude to me; she did not want me sitting next to her husband because I was probably after him. She said that out loud to me and made him move chairs. He was probably late 80's; she was the kind that was rude to the wait staff and tried to control the table. She reprimanded people all of the time. I did laugh at her which she snarked at too...lol. I left after 3 nights. Another time, she walked up to me and started reprimanding me when I was getting food at the buffet.....I told her to leave me alone or I will call security. It would probably be great entertainment if there was a thread so people could share their solo experiences with rude people. Stay safe all.

Kindness goes both ways. We all bought a ticket and are entitled to the onboard luggae space equally. The entitlement by the 'have to put my case in the bin' person is not kind.

Is that the artwork on the wall of any cabin? Not really my taste, but oh well.

Oh my gosh @BenCoudon, these are great! TSM.😊

The Bliss PC cruise, February 25, 2023, is also gone from the website and the listing is missing information in my Cruises booked summary. Did not call NCL. I plan to wait until sometrime this week to check..

Thanks, I find the people on CC more reliable than Google, most of the time, when it comes to cruising info.

Hi, Sailing out of Seattle on the Bliss soon. Can anyone tell me which Terminal (91 or 66) the Bliss will dock at? It has been a big while since I have cruised out of Seattle and the search capability on CC does not seem to be working. Any help is appreciated. 😎 Stay safe!

Very interesting isn't it that NCL can't do this. My NCL rep sent me a final statement with the final total, with the Vibe charge included. Now, I did call back and ask if I could pay for the Vibe pass now; I was told yes and paid for it. I was then sent another final statement with the vibe pass removed and it was charged to my CC. Thanks for your good info, I should be set. 😎

No free laundry service here as part of my cruise package. Soooooo......

Thanks for the idea but I have used this and was not very happy with the results. This is me being OCD about this. 😎

Ok, I drank the kool-aid, took the advice or maybe I am just a leming or paranoid. I called NCL and pre-paid for my Vibe pass. I told the guy why and he did not dispute it but couldn't say if it was true; not sure if that means anything. Now I can rest. Thanks for the heads up. Have a good one!

I would like to believe that NCL would honor the Vibe reservations that have payment in the final cruise payment. It is pretty far in advance of the cruise itself. Maybe they wouldn't open it up online until after final payment to see what they have left. A girl can dream. 😎

Hi!, I called yesterday to get a pre-cruise Vibe pass for the same cruise as @kapper. No problems. I paid $289, still ok imo. I did not have to pre-pay; she just added it to my cruise final payment. She said I could pay for it either way.....it was easy.
