Norwegian Bliss is undergoing necessary maintenance on a propulsion component, forcing the ship to sail at a reduced speed. Consequently, the cruise line has adjusted the itinerary for the July 11, 2026, departure from Seattle, shortening port visits in Alaska. The ship will arrive later in Sitka and Juneau, and depart earlier from Icy Strait Point and Ketchikan. Additionally, the scheduled visit to Victoria, British Columbia, has been downgraded to a brief technical stop where guests will remain onboard. Have you ever had a cruise itinerary significantly altered due to mechanical issues?
