Carly and Bruce Cruisers

Bags packed by front door. Rental car sitting out side. Miami Hampton Inn here we come.

BTW Tina, You will recognize me with my Kentucky shirt LOL

We sail on the Trans Panama on Thursday (if we get packed and make the ship LOL) and want to THANK all the posters about OUR SHIP. Looking forward to making great friends.

That looks so messy and tacky.

On Celebrity, if some one jusp plopped down a book and towel and walked off and did not return in about 30 minutes, they would remove the items and you could have the chair. Generally if someone used the chair for a period of time then left to get something to eat or go in pool, if they didn't stay too long, then they could keek chair.

Thanks so VERY, VERY much for your sharing your TA cruise. Wish you were cruising with us on May 10 trans canal. Enjoyed comments , positive and not-so-positive. Maybe NCL will look, but I doubt it. Cruising is about the friends you meet, and the friendly staff you want to come back to and completement.

I wasn't sure if this has been posted earlier, but USAToDay.com/travel had 100 pictures of our ship.

Thanks! Can’t imagine that the smoking crowd will be happy squeezed into just that small section.

 

Wonder how quickly the walls will come down and smoking will be allowed in the whole casino when Casino profits are low compared to the other ships.

Most higher end cruise lines, like Celebrity (and I think Mother Royal Carabbean) , have NO smoking in the Casino. I was a 40 year smoker and quit 20 years ago and am suffering for it, aka COPD I understand that more Europeans and Asians smoke than US residents but NCL needs to catch up with the times.

OK, fellow cruisers, food aside, WHERE IS OUR SHIP TONIGHT?

Where is Bliss now? When is the turn-over and when will she sail to England? Just want to make sure she makes to Miami by May 9th:cool::hearteyes::cool::hearteyes: :cool::cool:

Regarding Masks. Can't believe that once everyone is checked in onboard and vetted that having a guest with a mask could be a problem. I want security to be vigilant, but be realistic

Dancing with headphones on. Music of your choice plays through the headphones.

This is GREAT. Celebrity had it on Equinox and we participated on two cruises last year. We are participants (77 and 66) but it is fun watching other people dance with headsets and you can not hear the music. There are 3 channels of music so you do not know what people are dancing to except that the head sets show a different color for each channel.

I missed is live but so cool after following how one of these mega cruisers are assembled, and it dosen't sink..LOL We will sail form Miami on May 10 and looking forward to great cruise.

What streams are you showing??

I have been on Meyerwerft.de and ndr.de to look at webcams of float out but nothing has come up. I know I am a little early BUT....Is anyone following the float out besides me??? I don't want to get up at 2am, or stay up, and not be able to see the float out. I'm old. LOL and need my sleep but want to see my ship "float"

OK Bliss sailors, what is latest update about Float Out Saturday morning?

Thanks

We are booked on the inaugrial sailing from Miami to LA and have been watching the building of the Bliss since early on. As a retired engineer, this is a great experience. I am anticipating the "float out" on Saturday and hope to be watching on Meyer Werft's webcam or Youtube, even at 2:00 AM . We will be watching the weather but will look forward to the event. I have been looking the websites and nothing is live. Has anyone else checked the site for float out time? I don't want to get up at 2 AM and it has been postponed.:cool::cool:

Hi All,

We are sailing on the May 10 "inaugural" cruise out of Miami to LA. I went on line tonight to check our cabin (deck 15, midship) and checked deck layouts. Looks like all restuarants and bars have been defined. Plenty of places to eat and drink

Hi all. We just started looking at the Bliss sailing in May throught the Canal. I have not read all the postings but I have a couple of concerns. Our last NCL was Escape last Oct. and we were VERY disappointed. The nickle and dimed (dollared) us. We had a mid ship balcony mini suite and the only difference between a normal balcony was the length. The extra space was in the bathroom, which was nice, but not paying extra for. (We had a deal?)

I would think NCL would put out the red carpet for this inaugrial sailing of the Bliss. The BIG concerns are "will the ship be ready?, Will the shake down cruise to Miami find all the squeaks and creaks?"

What are the CC thoughts?
