Thank you so much..Very fun tour.Great and best real type tour of the Bliss I have been on.If all works out we will be on her 1st Week in April 2022 and in the Haven for 1st time.
Great video. We are going on the Bliss to Alaska in September (first time in Haven) and this helped pass the time. Loved the tips. You have a very pleasant narration voice. Keep up the good work!
Good comprehensive review! Thanks for the Haven coverage; I didn't have access to Haven when I cruised on the Bliss in August so it was a welcome treat to get a sneak peek! The Bliss was, and still is, my favorite ship I've ever cruised on and I cruise several times a year.
This is really a fabulous, fabulous video. And this ship is just stunning. I LOVED it when I was there. This video was SO detailed and it really showed what the ship is like! Wonderful job!
We were just on this ship cruising the Mexican Rivera 10-27 thru 11-3 and stayed in the Haven. Absolutely beautiful. Was watching for our favorite bartenders at the Haven lounge and did not see them. I guess they must have some time off. :)
@@TripswithAngie It did fill the room that is for sure. I could always tell when they made one walking down the hallway. You missed out. One bartender made one with blood orange and cognac infused cherries. Very yummy.
Love your video. Changed plans from cruising on Breakaway 8/2020 (Canada/New England) to Bliss 4/2020 (Bahamas) recently. Luckily was able to reserve the last available Haven Forward-Facing suite which happen to be the one in your video (Suite 10106)😃. I prefer higher decks and the balcony is small but the suite looks nice and roomy. Past 7/2019 I had my first experience in the Escape Haven in a Penthouse Courtyard Suite which was very nice with a larger balcony but the room was smaller than expected. Once you go Haven it’s hard to go back! Look forward to cruising on this newer ship. Thank you for the tour.
By FAR the best and most informative video I have seen! I've been on a few cruises before, but this is my first time booking for myself so I really have been looking for the most and useful information I could find and this video hit ever topic I needed to learn about. Thank you!!
Thank you so much! I highly recommend using a travel agent (like me) for your first booking. There's so much to know and this video doesn't cover it all.
Very Nicely done. I went on this cruise last year to Alaska and had a blast. You pointed out a few things that we did not find while on the cruise. Would have been nice to have shown some of the other cabins Like the inside rooms for others that are on a smaller budget. But thank you for posting over all a GREAT job!
@@TripswithAngie Yep we have booked an LA to New York on N Bliss 21 nights: looking at inside cabin where will u put your clothes?? Might have to do laundry ashore!! Not allowed to bring water onboard!! Thought MSC had its problems. Help!
@@katrinadewar9953 I'm sure your travel agent has great tips for you on how to make the most of the space in the cabin you booked. You can pay for laundry service on the Bliss. We also bring quick dry underwear and socks so those are easy to wash and dry in the cabin. We tend to wear the same clothes over and over - especially swimsuit cover ups and our dinner outfits. Have a great time! That will be an amazing cruise!
Hell NO! That slide looks scary. I would do the other one and for sure the go carts and laser tag. I am happy that they extended the sun canopy over spice h2o, because that was our favorite bar on the Escape.
@@TripswithAngie I can't wait to go. Our cruise is in 42 days. Eastern Caribbean. We booked an aft cabin. There are not many videos on aft cabins, so I guess I am going to have to do my own.
@@TripswithAngie I noticed it too. During the Observation Lounge part for a few minutes or so. i just skipped past it and the narration came back when you got to the whiskey bar.
@@dtomar2 Yep. I tried a little bit of silence to enjoy the view. Everyone freaked out that the sound was broken so I promise to talk nonstop through all the videos from now on.
Great video. I will be in 10106 in May for a Alaska cruise. Anything special I should know about the room? It looks great and I can't imagine anything would be wrong with the room but just checking!
Why so long covering the Haven area and then 2 seconds looking down on Vibe Beach Club ("down there is Vibe, an extra fee area. Later!") and then you walk right past the entrance, don't even peek in.
Haha a NO for me too on the slide, no thank you. What are the round ball things on a stand? Hand sanitizer? I wouldn't pay extra for baked goods when they have them free at the other places. How much are things in the gift stores? Pricey?
My husband and I cruised Bliss in January of this year and we will not be going back. The only thing we enjoyed were the shows. OBVIOUSLY if you are traveling in the Haven, you're accommodations are great. Our steward went 3 days without cleaning our room. My husband asked for chocolate covered strawberries as a treat for me THAT NEVER CAME. They messed up our sign & sail cards, wiped all the money off mine, added it to my husband's & then deducted it from our credit card we had on file. It was a nightmare. Bingo was 1 hour long at $50 per person. The last game was four corner bingo which was over in 30 seconds. Deal or no Deal was $50 per PERSON. NOTHING was free. Not even the shows. On other cruises those are included. The ship LOOKS glorious but everywhere you walk people are in your face asking to take your picture for "keepsake memories". They even block the staircase to get to the casino because couples are posing on them. There aren't enough elevators so be prepared to wait. EVERYTHING IS OVERPRICED & THE FOOD AT SPECIALTY RESTAURANTS ARENT WORTH THE EXTRA MONEY! Eat at the buffet. Teppankyi was THE ONLY good specialty restaurant. Good luck.
Thanks for your feedback. A lot of your frustrations could have been eliminated by a travel agent explaining what is included and what is not. This ship is not for everyone and it sounds like it wasn't a good match. Most people book under a promotion that includes specialty dining so they don't pay by the item. I agree the prices by the item are similar to an upscale restaurant. While shows do require reservations, only one show has an extra charge because it's a dinner show. The lack of cleaning and problems with your sail and sign card is unacceptable.
Thank you so much..Very fun tour.Great and best real type tour of the Bliss I have been on.If all works out we will be on her 1st Week in April 2022 and in the Haven for 1st time.
Bon Voyage! If you don't already have an agent, I'd be happy to book that for you. Email Angie@tripswithangie.com
Fabulous review! Thank you!
Thanks so much!
Love the handwashing sinks at the entrance to the buffet! All restaurants everwhere should have that 😀
I agree! I've seen them on a lot of new ships.

Excellent Video!!
Thanks! 😄
Great video. We are going on the Bliss to Alaska in September (first time in Haven) and this helped pass the time. Loved the tips. You have a very pleasant narration voice. Keep up the good work!
Enjoy!! Be sure to take advantage of the Haven escort off the ship in each port.
Thank you for taking the time to put together this video! We're really looking forward to our Alaskan cruise!
Alaska is one of my favorite places in the world!! Have a great cruise!
Great information. Thank you. We are cruising on the Bliss in two weeks, very helpful.
Bon Voyage!

Heading out of Miami in February. Thank you for this incredible video. You provided all the information my husband and I were looking for.
Great! Enjoy your cruise.
Fantastic tour and video
Thanks!
Nice detailed tour! Can’t wait for Bliss to come to NYC! Each breakaway plus class ship gets better and better.
The Encore will be even better I'm sure.
Trips with Angie I bet
We were just on this ship cruising the Mexican Rivera 10-27 thru 11-3 and stayed in the Haven. Absolutely beautiful. Was watching for our favorite bartenders at the Haven lounge and did not see them. I guess they must have some time off. :)
They likely were not on the ship yet. This was filmed on the cruise repositioning from the Alaska season to Los Angeles.
@@TripswithAngie Ah. Thanks. Did you try a Smokey Old Fashion? I had about 3 or 4. lol. Loved um
@@krn14242 No. All the smoke filling the room made me cough so we stuck to the regular Old Fashioned.
@@TripswithAngie It did fill the room that is for sure. I could always tell when they made one walking down the hallway. You missed out. One bartender made one with blood orange and cognac infused cherries. Very yummy.
Loved your video! New subscriber! You are very good! I haven't even been on my 1st cruise yet...noone can take away my dreams!
Thank you!
YAY! Welcome to the club!
I will be there, this coming august. I'm a Havenite!
Yay! ⛴️♥️
Really enjoyed the video. My family and I will be sailing on the Bliss in November to the Bahamas.
Bon Voyage!
Thank you!!!
You're welcome!

It is hard to go back! We loved this cabin. Enjoy!
wonderful
Really enjoyed the video
Glad you liked it!
I did the drop slide on the Getaway, the drop before it slows down is so scary, but worth it for the thrill.
You are so much braver than I am.
you did a great job narrating!
Thanks!!

Thank you so much! I highly recommend using a travel agent (like me) for your first booking. There's so much to know and this video doesn't cover it all.
Great review! I'd do the slide! I'd definitely be scared but I'd do it!
You are so much braver than me!!!

Yes!! That slide is TOO much. Laser Tag was really fun. I loved that you couldn't die. You had to run back and recharge but you could keep playing.
@@TripswithAngie I can't wait to go. Our cruise is in 42 days. Eastern Caribbean. We booked an aft cabin. There are not many videos on aft cabins, so I guess I am going to have to do my own.
@@colleenh2939 Yes!
Nice tour. Why would anyone want the garden buffet when u have the haven restaurant??? Lol. I love the haven
I agree! I think that is one of the best perks of the Haven. It's one of the few places on a big cruise ship you can have a la carte lunch every day.
I was really enjoying the tour and the sound just quit. This was about 17:30 into it.
I'm not having a problem with it. I don't talk the whole time. I'll double check it from a computer
Dee Dee Montana I thought it was my iPad si I fast forwarded
@@TripswithAngie I noticed it too. During the Observation Lounge part for a few minutes or so. i just skipped past it and the narration came back when you got to the whiskey bar.
@@dtomar2 Yep. I tried a little bit of silence to enjoy the view. Everyone freaked out that the sound was broken so I promise to talk nonstop through all the videos from now on.
Looking forward to the Bliss this August, just got back from a week on the Getaway, drop slides are awesome! all should try!! Can't wait
Have a great cruise! Be sure to have your travel agent check your reservation for the new promotion. I was able to get some extra perks for clients.
Great video. I will be in 10106 in May for a Alaska cruise. Anything special I should know about the room? It looks great and I can't imagine anything would be wrong with the room but just checking!
I think the video covers everything you need to know. Have a great cruise!
Why so long covering the Haven area and then 2 seconds looking down on Vibe Beach Club ("down there is Vibe, an extra fee area. Later!") and then you walk right past the entrance, don't even peek in.
It's locked. I am accepting sponsors for my next Norwegian cruise. If you'd like to pay for my Vibe pass, I'd be happy to film an in depth tour.
@@TripswithAngie oh, I understand now. Maybe next time…
Eagles I can't tell you why
we have the haven reservations but we are traveling with a 4 year old and a year old, is that a problem in the haven pool area?
Why would it be a problem? The Haven pool is all ages. Are you worried about your child falling in?
Haha a NO for me too on the slide, no thank you. What are the round ball things on a stand? Hand sanitizer?
I wouldn't pay extra for baked goods when they have them free at the other places. How much are things in the gift stores? Pricey?
Yes!! Another rational person. Yes. It's hand sanitizer..I thought the t-shirts were expensive but they have sales throughout the cruise.
I would use the slide :)
You are braver than me!
@@TripswithAngie I should sail on the Encore next december (fingers crossed), I'll let you know if I used the slide and if I survived :)
@@pierrelonnet9277Definitely make time to see Choir of Man on board. Also - remember the drop slides don't let you wear any jewelry.
@@TripswithAngie thanks for the tips !
I am willing to do the water slide no problem
Braver than me!
Trips with Angie it’s fun it’s some of the few things I can do with my bad back lol
@@mikesmile4188 Awesome!
