First Haven experience to Alaska on the Bliss

[St Louis Cardinals]

I’m in 18126 next week, thankfully I sleep through everything! Do you have a pic of the balcony?

You are going to have an amazing experience! I do not have any photos of the balcony. It is very long (wide), but not very deep (probably standard balcony depth). You can look down into the balcony below which is deeper. There is an overhead light, 2 chairs and a cocktail table. You may need to slouch in the chair in order to avoid the top of the railing blocking your view. It is not a quiet balcony as ping pong is constantly played just next door on down on deck 17.

St Louis, that's for Cy PH or for the 2-BR?

Wow, I cant thank you enough. Talk about the modern world to get my own personal investigator with photos!!!!

The door says emergency exit. So I wonder if they want passengers using this door to enter and exit the observation lounge? The reason I ask this is I have 17100 booked on Encore which is the forward end suite on the port side. I just thought it would be nice to have the observation lounge next to you and have easy access but I was not sure if that door was allowed to be used for normal traffic.

Thanks again. If we are ever on the same cruise, I will buy you a drink :*

That is just an emergency route to muster stations. That door also has the only access to the restroom. You will notice other emergency exits with crew only signs too. Those are the ones you should avoid unless a true emergency. There are a lots of "secret" doors that are not mark but with emergency exits. If you ask the crew about them they will say you can use them. One example is the backdoor into the Haven restaurant. No need to leave the restaurant go down to 17 and exit the Haven. Use the backdoor after eating and you are existing right into the deck 18 forward elevator lobby.

Hopefully you can post a picture of the length of the balcony that appears to be much longer. In September we will be just below your cabin in 17126.

Enjoy your cruise!!

Courtyard Penthouse.

Thanks, nice surprise! I was thinking they would be fairly small.

Thanks [emoji1303][emoji3]. Definitely bigger balconies in those cabins. We had only done Haven once before and it was in the Jewel. But normally have the deck 10 aft suites on Jewel Class. We prefer the bigger balcony. I think we will really love the Bliss .

Hey, that's my old cabin! How are you enjoying it? Tip, if you need any more outlets, Judy will bring you an NCL approved extension cord.

Loving it! I’m sleeping on the chair bed but the mattress is sooo hard so Judy is going to bring me an egg crate thing to try tonight. She and Jennifer are fantastic. This is our first time on Norwegian and 1st suite experience.

How would you compare Bliss Haven to Escape Haven? I have only sailed once on NCL and it was in the Escape Haven. Have a great cruise!

 

A world of difference. For the better, if you can believe it. Except for the restroom to the right of the Concierge desk. It is gender neutral/ handicapped accessible. Awful. But really funny to watch people try to figure out which button to push and stand there for 10 seconds “while the wheelchair comes in” before starting to close.

 

While I have no issues with gender, I would prefer a bathroom where my pants’ legs didn’t have to wipe the “misses” of the standers before me. :o

[Cyclops32]

For me the only real difference I saw between the escape and Bliss was the Horizon lounge and the bigger sundeck. I did like having the forward facing view without glass but did not get to use it much with the new rule of no kids.

Does each room have its own thermostat. I like to sleep in a cold room and want to know what level of control we have over the room temp?

I remember seeing several. Master bath, master bedroom, second bedroom and main cabin

I like the view. Not as great as the aft which I prefer but nice. I picked starboard since I figured a good part of the trip we will see the mainland part. On the way north we always were in site of land... On the horizon but could still see it. A few times some of the islands were closer. I assume they may be a bit further out on the way back but we will see tomorrow.

 

The one plus atleast on this cruise is they spun towards port at Dawes Glacier so our side got direct shots of the glacier twice

Following. Dying to know if the haven pool is swimmable without freezing!

Following, we are in the Haven June 2019 in the 2 bedroom. Regarding your picture in bedroom 2.....does that actually make a double if needed? We were in the Haven on the Escape Fall 2017 and that bedroom slept 3 albeit very crowded.

Ask Chef Nicoloas to confirm when the Chef''s Special Crab legs will be served (he will be happy to hear his food has been complimented on CC)

 

OMG! That is a must-do for me!

Me too! We need to figure this out in case we have to rearrange dinner reservations lol! Can't miss out on crab legs....especially in Alaska!

[morety]

I am so looking forward to a smoked old fashioned! Emir better still be there in February!

[T4raegirl]

We just got off the Bliss in the Haven Forward facing penthouse. It was a dream! We felt so spoiled and everything is absolutely gorgeous. The Horizon lounge is awesome. We watched whales for hours in there.
