As part of its two-week refurbishment project in Damen at Brest, the Norwegian Bliss underwent technical updates and routine maintenance, as well as class work. The 2018-built ship also saw the creation of new public areas and venues onboard, including the Horizon Park. Making its fleetwide debut onboard the Bliss, the new outdoor area serves as an entertainment and gathering space that offers lawn games, giant Jenga, reclining loungers for sunbathing and more. The vessel underwent updates to its food and beverage offerings as well, with the expansion of two popular specialty dining restaurants: Cagney's Steakhouse and Teppanyaki. Palomar, which is described by Norwegian Cruise Line as an elevated seafood specialty dining venue, also made its debut on the ship. After being first introduced on the Norwegian Prima in 2022, the restaurant replaced Ocean Blue onboard the Norwegian Bliss.
