We had a wonderful cruise on the Bliss. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about our experience. I had read numerous negative comments about the Bliss prior to our trip that had us a little concerned. We found none of the negative comments to be true in our case. In my opinion, the ship is like a 5-star Las Vegas resort (i.e. Wynn/Encore, Venetian/Palazzo). We had perfect weather...it didn't rain at all other than a few sprinkles as we cruised the Inside Passage one evening.

We arrived at the port at noon and were able to board the ship immediately. By 1:00 pm, we had checked in, booked our dinner reservations, go kart, and show reservations. By 1:30 pm, we were in our room. We received our lugguage by 4:00 pm. Outstanding! Everything about the process was a breeze.

We stayed in a mini-suite w/balcony. There were two of us so there was just enough room. The bed was firm and very comfortable. The a/c worked great (I'm always HOT!) I wouldn't recommend a mini-suite for more than two people. There was plenty of storage in the cabinets and closet. The bathroom is huge by cruise ship standards. We had a double sink, fabulous shower, and plenty of storage. We loved the balcony. I can't imagine cruising the Inside Passage without a balcony. It is a MUST!!! Read more
