Loved the lumberjack show - Loved lumberjack show, the culinary part was informational. Our bus driver was Emily and she kept us entertained. We were on norwegian bliss ship, was 3.5 hrs long, with travel. Due to ship not docked downtown. Did not have a chance to see downtown before we had to reboard.
