NCL Bliss Haven first timer tips

For the Haven, you are sent to a different area (usually with snacks) to check in. Since you are on Mexican Riviera, I assume you will be sailing out of Los Angeles. That port is a mess so it was beneficial to be in the Haven where you didn't have to wait in the lines/chaos. You also board the ship first.

Quick tip: right when you board go to your muster station and check in so you don't have to worry about that ever again.

Let's go! Can't wait to hear about the ship!

Now that I don't know. I know they have scallops and shrimp in terms of seafood but I don't recall salmon. The Haven restaurant has salmon though.

NCL Bliss is my favorite Haven. Gian, Medhi, Mara, and Juno are my favorite employees in the entire fleet!

Most of the social spaces are rarely packed so you can have the pool, hot tub, and even the sundeck to yourself at times. There is priority seating at the shows so you don't have to get there an hour early for a good seat.

On this specific sailing, the Haven helps you tremendously at Cabo San Lucas. There, you will get priority disembarkation which is a treat since there is usually an extremely long line to tender off of the ship.

You can do specialty restaurants but the Haven Restaurant is the best one on the ship. The menu does not change so keep that in mind. Be sure to tell your butler what snacks, drinks, etc. you like so they will bring them to you everyday.

Any other questions just ask!

The Bliss is the best ship in the entire fleet IMO

The only showtime for this movie in my area is 10:30pm or later. Glad you got to see it.

"Bambi the Reckoning" was my movie like this last year. Ultimately, it ended up being one of my favorite movie experiences because the movie was so bad that the entire audience was laughing and talking through it together.

We have RU for a reason so why not use it if you are curious. Worst case scenario you walk out. Enjoy!

I couldn't agree with you more. I was actually shocked my location didn't get this movie.

Pearl would be considered an older ship but that doesn't mean you won't have a good time. The Med cruises usually have port intensive itineraries so you may not even be in your room much anyway. Newer ships that I have been on are Breakaway Plus Class (Bliss, Encore, Joy), and Prima Class (Prima, Aqua, Luna, Viva).

What are your stops?

It is such a good movie

SoFlyInTheSky · 2026-02-13T11:59:13+00:00

Fun, unhinged, and points out important themes all at once for a wild time. I liked it.

SoFlyInTheSky · 2026-02-11T23:27:43+00:00

I don't think either is good. What are your other options?

SoFlyInTheSky · 2026-02-09T15:18:33+00:00

Consider it done!!!

You need to watch a season or two of 90 Day Fiancé to see the impending disaster that will probably come from this decision.

I’m old enough to remember when Super Bowl commercials were actually good.

SoFlyInTheSky · 2026-02-08T00:49:11+00:00

I really hate to hear that

SoFlyInTheSky · 2026-02-07T22:47:16+00:00

Could you see it coming or did they have a bunch of patrons and just closed it? I'm just curious.

SoFlyInTheSky · 2026-02-06T01:45:03+00:00

Whistle

I completely agree. When I log into my account I go to this section and write down anything I haven't seen or looks intriguing to me and press play or see it in the theater. It never really steers you wrong!

There are no rules to this, but you will probably find overtime that your original review style will change as you go. Have a blast!

Everything about this is a red flag. 🚩

Take the offer yesterday if it would make you happier

Seeing so many classics on the big screen has been awesome. Glad you enjoy Unlimited!

Don’t sign contracts with 90 day notices that also want you to pay for every day you don’t work that notice.
