Sure is, nothing nicer than a relaxed sit down lunch. Enjoy.

I loved doing the old locks as the Bliss goes through the new locks. It was an early start with an 0515 start. But was amazing to see the sunrise. Colombia we did a walking tour of old city which we loved as it was boat over and then lunch and drinks. Heaps fun. happy to answer any more questions that you have. Enjoy it

Hahah love that. Lock-o-dile……No I was on the Jan 24 sailing. I heard the croc lives in the lock, but that could have just been cruise gossip! Lol. Yes we had Miguel and was great with the information through the transit. Loved that cruise, so different to my other cruises

Was so so hot! I got a little sunburnt, not realising the reflection of the white ship! But was great to be there and see the croc. We retired to the district and had a few cold drinks.

It’s definitely for photos. They had the same on the Panama Canal. They were asking everyone if they wanted their photo taken going through certain parts canal that were nice for a keepsake, also without any other people in the photo

I like meeting people and chatting over a drink and if it gets to let a do dinner, then great. As others have said I love being with my group and not be with others I have to make conversation over a long dinner and not being able to get out. Great that there are many cruise lines to suit all needs

The horror of not having tee shirts related to your destination……did you demand to see the captain at once? it’s cruise you’re meant to relax and chill. Enjoy your land base factions and hope there’s never a wait at a bar. if you can tell me how to get a grey goose and ginger beer from fedex in under 20mins let me know, asking for a friend.

Awesome review! I would love to do this for my big birthday, maybe do the onward to Hawaii. Thank you for the detailed review.

You’ll have the best time. When chatting with them, they really enjoyed it when the guest interacted with them and had fun. They certainly feed off from the energy and vibe off the guests. we certainly had heaps of fun. The shots we had were off the chart. Have a great time

Good job this isn’t your issue. These guys were so engaging and heaps of fun. I’m sure they don’t need your sympathy or company, considering you think it’s a money grab.

We had the best time with Gede and Ben! Especially at shot o clock! have fun!

I had this on my Panama Canal cruise, I would call them to see if they can tell you if it’s available, as we waited until final payment then it went to sold out. We managed to score some passes. if the cabana is available I’d grab them and see if they can do swap it out.

Loving this review. I’m stopping over in Tokyo for 3 days on my way to the UK to pick up a transatlantic. Thought if I’m flying a Japanese airline I may as well stopover. I’m wishing I had more time to explore. thanks for taking the time to share this with us all.

I had the same dilemma but essentially went for 17 with larger balcony, close to the pool area, bar and horizon lounge. We found it very convenient and enjoyed being so close to everything and a short walk to the restaurant. Enjoy whichever one you choose

My first NCL cruise was the Gem, in an owners suite and had the best butler and concierge. Next up was the Epic in the Haven, then Encore, Escape and Bliss. I like the bigger ships, more going on and different venues. For me it would depend on itinerary, price etc. I was looking at an itinerary on the pearl and Prima/Viva. Same itinerary a little more the newer ships of course, I’d try the newer ships. id say it depends what you value in a cruise and do some research, look up you tube reviews etc and make the informed choice. Good luck
