First and foremost, thank you for sharing your cruise with us. I am sailing on the Bliss next month, and my wife is a huge seafood lover. I have been planning to surprise her with a meal at Ocean Blue; but now I'm not so sure.

Can you please delineate (I know, that's a big word like gymnasium) your dissatisfaction with that restaurant?

 

Again, my thanks!

I'm reading reports that there are lots of folding chairs...in the buffet and other areas. Have you noticed? Thanks.

We're sailing on the Bliss on the 17th. What day to you get to Miami?

Seems like the first for this ship, which scares me some. I'd love to be able to see how other passengers did with embarkation, excursions, etc with the itinerary we're going on, but of course it will be the first time.

Do they seem organized and confident, or does it feel like a series of firsts?

Does the onboard app actually do anything? Can you text to fellow passengers?

Thanks!

I'm sailing on Bliss in June and the lack of conversation about it makes me nervous. I've been doing searches of course, but it's nice to see some fresh conversations.

How does the bag of laundry work? Is there a bag already in your cabin that you give to your steward? how big is the bag roughly? We are on the March Panama Canal sailing and have two kids in tow so laundry will be helpful. Just wondering how much will fit in a bag for $20. Thanks ......

Yes, plastic folding chairs in the buffet and Atrium. They are uncomfortable.
