Bliss Cruise November 2026
Apparently, size does matter!! Due to overwhelming demand, we will be sailing on the Symphony of the Seas again for our November 2026 cruise. We will start in sunny Fort Lauderdale, Florida and sail to Falmouth, Jamaica & Costa Maya, Mexico. Each day and night brings something new to do, see and explore in one of the seven distinct “neighborhoods” throughout the ship. Connect with your fellow cruisers on the cruise line’s signature Royal Promenade. Enjoy the daytime pool activities, seminars and workshops, meet & greets, clothing optional pools and open deck areas, plus, afternoon playtime fun. And the fun continues well into the night with themed parties, dancing, entertainment and intimate activities.
Reserve your spot now on this incredible cruise and be part of the BLISS experience.
RCI Symphony of the Seas
Change how you stay, play and unwind during our Bliss Cruise on the Symphony of the Seas. Each day and night brings something new to do, see and explore in one of the seven distinct “neighborhoods” throughout the ship. The themed neighborhoods includes Central Park, Boardwalk, the Royal Promenade, the Pool and Sports Zone, Vitality at Sea Spa and Fitness Center, Entertainment Place and Youth Zone (this will be a ghost town since NO kids allowed on this cruise). Enjoy a wonderful scroll through the lush, open-air, tropical gardens of Central Park. The Boardwalk was inspired by seaside piers and features the high diving entertainment of the Aqua Theater.
Connect with your fellow cruisers on the cruise line’s signature Royal Promenade. Raise your glass for a toast in the Rising Tide Bar that slowly moves between the Royal Promenade on deck five and Central Park on deck eight. Looking for a thrill? Enjoy the first zip line at sea suspended nine decks high above the Boardwalk in the Pool and Sports Zone. If the zip line is not for you, relax in the sun by one of several pools and whirlpools, grab a board and go surfing or play a round of mini-golf. Need to sooth your mind, body and soul or maybe you just can’t miss your workout? The Vitality at Sea Spa & Fitness Center is where you want to be. Once the sun goes down, the Entertainment Place is the life of the ship after dark. This neighborhood offers soulful sounds of Jazz, side splitting laughter at the comedy club and music to dance the night away at Blaze nightclub.
Finally, Bliss Cruise adds our naughty touch to enhance your cruising experience with the following:
- Adults 21 or older only which means…NO kids allowed!
- Open decks and pool areas are clothing optional.
- Clothing optional shore excursions.
- Meet & Greets to help you break the ice and meet new people.
- Seminars that educate and allow you to explore new areas of the lifestyle.
- Multiple play areas to meet your level of comfort and interest.
- Evening entertainment and late night dance parties in various venues.
- Themed nights to add a little extra fun to dressing up & heading out for the night.

About Our Ports of Call
Falmouth, Jamaica
Step off the ship and step back in time. Falmouth, Jamaica, a historic gem that has been recognized worldwide as one of the Caribbean’s most significant and historically-rich destinations, quaint Falmouth boasts uniquely beautiful and varied 19th century Georgian architecture throughout the town, from wooden cottages to brick mansions to plantation complexes. With horse-and-buggy rides, arts and crafts offerings, and flavorful local fare, Falmouth delivers a quintessential Caribbean experience with a nod to its colonial past.
Falmouth also serves as the gateway to the best Jamaica has to offer. Just east of Falmouth is Ocho Rios, best known for its spectacular Dunn’s River Falls. Or, travel west to reach Montego Bay and the beautiful beaches of Negril, just a two-hour drive. Thanks to its central location, Falmouth gives visitors the best tour experiences of the north coast of Jamaica.
