The age limit on the NCL Joy is 14 y/o and up. So the assumption is the NCL Bliss will be the same. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDougOut Posted October 13, 2017 #1534 Share Posted October 13, 2017 The age limit on the NCL Joy is 14 y/o and up. So the assumption is the NCL Bliss will be the same. I'm not ready to assume that what holds true for the Joy holds true for the Bliss. The Joy has additional kid-friendly options that weren't carried over to the Bliss. Compared to BA and other BA+ ships, the Bliss has displaced many activities for teens & younger children: ropes course, mini golf, sports deck, etc. I'd be surprised if NCL isn't taking this into account. We have read that NCL can alter the max speed of the karts, so I wouldn't be surprised if they offer different times for different "skill" levels. Also - am I recalling correctly that we saw some 2-person karts for the Bliss? That may be another opportunity for younger riders. Or maybe the min age will be 14. So long as there's not a max height, max weight, or max head circumference, I'll be in line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddakrt Posted October 14, 2017 #1546 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Deck 16 aft is different than the Joy, the Joy's narrows following the rear bump out whereas on the Bliss the width continues after the bump out. I obviously prefer the Bliss' as it offers more space and balances out the look aesthetically. Wonder why the difference between the two ships though.

I obviously prefer the Bliss' as it offers more space and balances out the look aesthetically. Wonder why the difference between the two ships though. Is it possible they just needed the added width for the spa vs. the Joy's Galaxy Pavilion? I agree with your preference for the lines on the Bliss. Looks sweet! Joy... Bliss...

I agree with your preference for the lines on the Bliss. Looks sweet! ... ... and adds some extra protection from the elements (think: Alaska + rain) for a few balcony cabins! Our first cruise to Alaska ('15) was in an aft corner cabin on the Solstice - with virtually no overhead coverage and it rained most of our trip. The balcony was basically useless. Our return trip the next summer, again on the Solstice, had us in mid-ship cabin with an overhang above us such that we were able to sit out on the balcony rain or shine. I'm a fan of deep balconies, and they're hard to come by ! Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
