Aft cabin on Bliss. The wake view is exactly what you see in cruise YouTubers' videos — looks almost fake it's so good. Best at sunset and early morning. The room itself is a solid balcony cabin, nothing special inside, but the balcony is slightly deeper than mid-ship balconies because of the aft taper. Warning: aft cabins on sea days at high speed get wind noise on the balcony, you can't really sit out with a book. But for the view it's worth it. Also slightly more engine vibration than other cabins — not bothersome but you feel the ship is alive.

We accidentally stayed an extra night

Long story short: misread the disembarkation time, thought it was noon, it was 8am. Woke up at 9:30 to a very politely frantic knock. Our bags were already in the terminal. The cabin steward had basically been waiting for us to leave for two hours. He was incredibly gracious about it. They let us use the terminal lounge and held our bags. Norwegian staff handled it perfectly. But the cabin — once we finally left — we realized we'd basically had a free extra morning watching the port of Miami from our aft balcony over coffee. No ragrets.
