I went on the Norwegian Bliss over this past thanksgiving break and thought the ship was pretty nice, there's a race track, mini golf area and laser tag (didn't get to try it since it was fully booked). The ship was very new and clean. Balcony rooms are definitely nicer than the inside stateroom, you can get fresh air easily. They have a few free restaurant options, the Manhattan room, Savor and Taste. I recommend booking ahead so you don't have to wait. The breakfast includes lox bagel which was great! The buffet is also available with lots of options, but they're kind of similar after a while. Ice cream soft serve stations were great, I definitely had a bit too much, not gonna lie. The shows were decent, I recommend booking them ahead of time too so you can get in early, SIX was great to watch, I went twice and sat in different areas four a different view and enjoyed it both times. Jersey boys want as good. The magic show was fun too (no booking required, just get there early).
Overall this is the third time I'm cruising with NCL, got extra deposits from the first time I sailed with them on the Escape when that first came out. I'll probably take a break from doing cruises for a while. I'd say this was more at a 3.5 stars than a 3. It's a good option to consider if you're looking for a cruise to try out. I wouldn't recommend leaving from New York since that makes the time on the ship a lot longer.
