krissyvt Posted October 26, 2017 #1626 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Quick question if anyone knows. We just got off Escape last week and loved the grotto in H20. Very refreshing. We booked the Bliss for February 2019 and gentleman on ship told us he didn’t think there would be a grotto on Bliss. Looking at plans/pictures, it looks like a small pool. On Joy, it looks like a big hot tub with an overhang. Can anyone tell me what this will be on Bliss? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carsonbeeching Posted October 26, 2017 #1627 Share Posted October 26, 2017 From what plans I saw it was not going to have a grotto. In its place was a place you could sit and cool off and walk through water. Just not as cool as the grotto. Not 100 on that but thought I saw it somewhere.

Much like everything else we've seen so far - cleaner with possibly a little more upscale feel? Edit: I posted and laughed, seeing that I stated "more upscale feel" in a photo that also shows go-karts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesters Posted October 26, 2017 #1630 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I'm cruising NCL for the first time on Bliss (12+ cruises on RC)! We've booked the mini-suite 11824. However I just noticed it is a few decks above the Humidor Cigar Lounge. With the open air promenade, will that smoke be wafting upward to our balcony? Is smoking permitted on the promenade/waterfront? Also, the NCL promo book on Bliss, states that Margaritaville is complimentary dining. I'm seeing other posts about paying for burgers. We are not foodies, so I'm more interested in the 'included' options. Any info you can share? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carsonbeeching Posted October 26, 2017 #1631 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Margaritaville is not complementary. Not expensive though and the nachos and burgers are worth it. I cruised on the escape and I never felt smoke was an issue in the atrium. Unlike other cruise lines ncl has something called 678 oceanplace instead of a promenade. There are designated places to smoke on the waterfront and in the pool area. It is not a free for all with the smoking. Plus you can pretty much only smoke in the casino other than the designated areas. Some people feel the smoke from the casino in 678 is an issue but I bet it varies by cruise. Like I said smoke wasn’t a problem on the escape cruise I was on. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreestyleNovice Posted October 28, 2017 Author #1636 Share Posted October 28, 2017 One day(?) before the one posted above, see the less complete AIDA block on the right. Bliss looks untouched when comparing the images but probably lots and lots going on on the inside! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mermaid1952 Posted October 28, 2017 #1639 Share Posted October 28, 2017 This ship looks unbelievable! We attended the seminar with Paquita introducing it, and my jaw literally dropped! We didn't book for her Inauguration Cruise, but anyone on that cruise is going to have a great time! Cruise On!❤️ Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padcasino Posted October 31, 2017 #1640 Share Posted October 31, 2017 We are sailing on the Bliss next October and this will be our first cruise with NCL. Does anyone know how the rooms for 4 guests are set up? Do 2 guests sleep on the couch or is there a single bed that folds down from the wall for one guest? Or something different?

You will have 2 beds (can be combined into one) near the balcony, a single sofa-bed near the closet and a pullman bed above the sofa-bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caribbean Drifters Posted November 1, 2017 #1648 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I haven't seen this mentioned yet, NCL has added 3&4th passengers free as a perk to many of the Bliss sailings after the kiddos are back in school. Taxes and port charges will still be charged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
