Best For: Families and active cruisers who want big-ship thrills — go-karts, water slides, Broadway shows — combined with scenic Alaska or Caribbean itineraries.
Norwegian Bliss was designed with Alaska glacier viewing in mind — her observation lounge wraps the top deck with panoramic windows. The two-level race track and open-air laser tag arena set her apart from earlier NCL ships. Freestyle Cruising means no fixed dining times.
