What's Included?

[CruisingLover]

Is there a list of what is included and what is not included on NCL Bliss for food/restaurants? Also, how hard is it to get into the shows? Can you reserve seats before you board or is that something done once on board? And, can you book specialty dining prior to boarding?

You haven't provided enough information for complete answers, so I will give you more general info.

 

Did you look at the Promotional Terms and Conditions for your booking?

Below is link for the most recent:

As for getting into shows and/or restaurants, that depends on several factors... depending on which ships: (Older = Spirit, Sky, Star, Sun, Dawn, Jewel, Gem, Pearl, Jade, Pride of America),

or (newer = Epic, Getaway, Breakaway, Escape, Bliss, Encore, Joy, Prima, Viva). 

The "older group" do NOT require making show reservations.  For the "newer" ships you can make reservations starting as early as 135 pre-cruise  IF you have a Haven/Suite booked!

If you are not booked in a Suite/Haven, and do not have any "Priority" Status, you will be allowed to book online, or by phone, at 120 days.

                                            (You will NOT be reserving specific seats!!!) 

You can accomplish this task by logging into your MY NCL Account and opening your reservation, select "Explore and Plan."  You will find headings under "What's Onboard"

Restaurants for your ship will be listed, and usually have a "Sample Menu" to view.

 

As for restaurants... most people read assorted reviews and look for menus for their specific ship!

Booking restaurant reservations are on same schedule as shown above.

See tabs on the left for included and specialty restaurants. 

 

Sailing in Covid times has thrown reservations for a bit of a spin. Some people cannot make reservations at all for their sailing until they board. 

 

Under normal situations, Haven/Suite guests can make dinner reservations 130 days before sail date,  Club balcony stateroom guests can make dinner reservations at 125 days before sail date, and the remaining guests can make dinner reservations at 120 days before sail date. Only a small number of reservations (about 30%) are open before embarkation day. The rest open on embarkation day so even if you don't reserve before boarding, there are still plenty of reservations available.
