We enjoyed watching your video on the Joy refurbish and tips although you mentioned the Garden Cafe was in the back of the ship but it is in the front of the ship above the Observation Lounge.
♿️-room in the back of the ship . When we were allowed to get in our rooms , hallways were blocked with suitcases, people helped us moving them to get the wheelchair through. Then getting out of the room was a challenge because rooms were being cleaned so the large carts were in the hallways , had to move them 🦽 could be 9 am or 2 pm , it was blocked. Hallways too narrow. Couple years ago at NLCJoy garden cafe had few ♿️tables , this cruise Joy had two tables in the back of the cafe . Too many obstacles . Staff was helpful, we enjoyed specialty restaurants, great food .
Hi, Great videos!! Wondering if you could tell me if the "LOCAL Bar & Grill" is complimentary. Also do you know if the drink package is applicable while at Great Stirrup Cay ? Cheers Nick
Hey, thank you so much for watching. Yes the local is complementary and it looks like yes the drink package works on the island. Here is a quick link to the beverage package policy: www.ncl.com/onboard-packages/beverage-packages#:~:text=With%20the%20Unlimited%20Open%20Bar,and%20at%20Great%20Stirrup%20Cay.
Hello I have so many questions. The first one is about the comedians. Does the freestyle Daily give a description of the comedians? raunchy (sexual innuendos) drops the F bomb, etc. thanks
I can definitely see the draw to NCL, even elements of a premium - luxury line if you go Haven. I don't always care for how NCL handle problems but seems like great product in general. We just booked our first Princess cruise for next year, 10 nights out of Fort Lauderdale. We were going to do Baja on HAL, but I have flight upgrade certificates to first class, so why waste them on an hour flight? We considered a similar itinerary on Celebrity, but just watching video comparison of the breakfast buffet alone, I can see why Princess has better recent reviews.
We have sailed 7 times on Princess and the last one was this past Oct. This was our first cruise since Covid and we definitely noticed some changes (as probably most cruise lines). Just a tip for you…unless things have changed further, the food portions were quite small compared to pre-Covid. In fact, on 2 occasions when the Maître D’s checked in on our meal, we did mention this. They both said to just ask our waiter for extra vegetables, which we did on several occasions. (One dinner comes to mind…my salmon. The plate was completely void of anything else but I discovered a couple of green veg’s hidden underneath!) There is also noticeably fewer servers since they rely on people using the medallion app more to order. We didn’t order anything on it as we like to move around to wear off some of the extra calories! Princess is a great cruise line, very clean and well organized. I’m sure you will enjoy your trip!
Was about to book and then heard the weight minimum on the one slide. My 12 and 14 yr olds and wife don’t meet the 120lb requirement. That’s ridiculous! Only in America are skinny people penalized 😂
It’s an unusual one and my son couldn’t go either- but after seeing it I understand why- they need weight to make it up and over the loop or they will get stuck - lots of other fun things to do onboard and honestly, the drop slide is REALLY scary!
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what are the codes in your description? BOFACA8GZARY2TUU BHERFAFCVOVGNZH7 GBNMXM5PKKO6DMPR RBIMAQGCWAHUI4ZI OA4KWR4PTL90APUE 9IGY3BUE5QMLOMUM 04AWWTXRSOBQYZHP Thanks. We will be going on Joy through Panama Canal in the Haven- hope it's worth it!!
Internet service is not good Also I just wish people would educate their kids, I got push, stump and found very rude people that literally would run you over just to get to a place first, omg I guess I got unlucky on my first cruise, too many rude people in one place
No pickleball or any other sports court for adults. Doesn't look like they have a late night disco at the top. Just lots of amenities for screaming kids and focus on bars and pools.
I bet you work or were paid by Norwegian joy to do this 2 days ago I was on the joy I just arrived back on NY It was my first time cruising and have few things to say about your description , specially cagney’s restaurant, starting with one of the hostess, never smile and the food no so good. I was celebrating a birthday a very important, well they forgot the mashed potato and serve me a lonely filet mignon The mashed never arrived, I was so disappointed because this was one of the best and fancy places to go too, apparently. I did not like the service or the food to be honest I like best the Le Bistro Service here was amazing and the food was a lot better Look for a waiter Roy, what an incredible person
We ate at Cagney the last night of our cruise. It was great!! Service, taste, and the ambiance were very nice. Just goes to show it all depends on the waiter and the company. 😂
lol , we were just on NCL Joy and went to Cagney’s and they did not give me mashed potatoes at first , she told me I did not ordered it . I did ( my husband said I heard u order it ) they brought it to me .
This was our 40th anniversary , first-time cruisers, the worst trip of our lives thus far, you have to pay for everything, canceled a day in Bermuda, only to sail us in a storm, so bad you couldn't even enjoy the ship, shows were canceled , water ride and Go-Karts were shut down. No refund was offered for the inconvenience. I will never sail with Norwegian again. Husband and I both disabled, were dropped off in our wheel chairs on the corner of 42nd St. and west side hwy. To be told to gather our luggage and make our way a cross the street, get your ride there. The worst for disabled people.
Yes and No... I have been on nearly every cruise line and I have had wonderful and bad experiences on all of them (except Disney, those were perfect, but you pay $$$$$). Because the experience is so varied, I no longer do the expensive rooms, I get the cheapest room, then if the weather sucks or service sucks or... at least I am not out tons of money. With that philosophy, I also get to do 2 cruises a year instead of only 1.

Great video! Tip: Get a map of the decks-when she is explaining, you can relate. Very good speaker.
That is such a great tip! I wish I had thought of that!
Loved the tour! Ready for our 2027 Bahamas Cruise ❤
That's awesome, have fun!
They should have upgraded the size of the outdoor adult swimming pool. It still is WAY to small for a ship with over 4000 people.....

Wonderful ship tour! The ship is so beautiful. We will be sailing on the Joy at the end of June.
Hope you enjoy it!
the garden cafe is in the FORWARD section of deck 16
Thanks for the correction!
Very informative video... thanks 🙏🙏
I’m glad you found it helpful!
Magnificent ship from NCL! It is on my list of ships to visit for future cruises. Thanks Mr. CTTV and Sheri for the wonderful video as usual! 🥰🥰🙏🏻🙏🏻
Our pleasure! Always appreciate you!
Our travel agent tried talking us out of booking a cruise to Alaska on the Joy but I really can't see any drawbacks.
I'm booked on the joy to Alaska in April. I think it will be the perfect ship!
I’m going to Alaska in May on the Joy. I’m so excited! I went to Europe on the Dawn last May and it wasn’t as nice as this at all.
@@megsm1839My husband and I are going to Alaska in May as well! We have been researching this ship and have been getting mixed reviews so far.
Thank you so much for posting this Sherri. I'm in the single digits now
We just booked this ship to celebrate Wifes birthday sailing Oct 2 to 20th on a Panama cruise
That sounds like an amazing birthday trip!
Excellent tour of Norwegian joy! Love it so much Sheri! 💜💜💛🌹💛🪻🪻💖🌞💖💕💚💚🌞💖🪻🌹🌹💖💝💜💙💙💙💕❣️🌺🌺🌺🩵🩵🥀🩷💛🌻🌻
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@CruiseTipsTV 🥰🥰🥰
Can someone tell me if I need a converter plug for the Joy?
any tips for NCL getaway?
Going to Mexican Riviera Cruise on April 13, 2025. I am excited. Hope Joy will be the same as the video you shown. Thanks
Hope you have a wonderful time!
Thanks for the awesome tour! I’m so excited to be sailing on the Joy in September!
Hope you enjoy it!
We are sailing 9/17. Is that when you are?
Hi
Going on this cruise ship for 5 days to Bermuda Oct.7
What type of clothes should I pack??
Shorts, capris, short sleeves???
Me too! See you there 🎉
I have never seen such a beautiful ship
Is there a jazz club on board?
What happened to the atrium bar?
I like the new areas. The Lazer tag was such a waste of prime space. Do u have any room tours
Yes, balcony tour coming soon ❤️
@@CruiseTipsTV good I have a balcony coming new years cruise. Can't wait to see your tour
Great job as always, thanks for sharing!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great ship ..we love the Q and food Republic

Does the Joy have a library?
Yes
Hello I have so many questions. The first one is about the comedians. Does the freestyle Daily give a description of the comedians? raunchy (sexual innuendos) drops the F bomb, etc. thanks
I believe they have clean and "adult" choices at different times!
If you're not into raunchy, definitely skip the comedian with the cowboy hat. Super uncomfortable to watch his act with your young-adult kids!
Great Video
November cruise on the Joy.
same, when are you embarking?
Same here
We are going on the 9th
Plans in progress
This is a bad ass ship!!! tons of fun

They should have a baseball court or volleyball
Or baseball😅

Thanks. We will be going on Joy through Panama Canal in the Haven- hope it's worth it!!
Good question- they are to track the royalty free music we use. Those codes correspond to the songs. Have a blast on your cruise!
Internet service is not good
Also
I just wish people would educate their kids, I got push, stump and found very rude people that literally would run you over just to get to a place first, omg
I guess I got unlucky on my first cruise, too many rude people in one place

You should have had a disclaimer that this video is sponsored by NCL.
Hi Mark, it wasn’t - but thanks!
I bet you work or were paid by Norwegian joy to do this
2 days ago I was on the joy
I just arrived back on NY
It was my first time cruising and have few things to say about your description , specially cagney’s restaurant, starting with one of the hostess, never smile and the food no so good. I was celebrating a birthday a very important, well they forgot the mashed potato and serve me a lonely filet mignon
The mashed never arrived, I was so disappointed because this was one of the best and fancy places to go too, apparently.
I did not like the service or the food to be honest
I like best the Le Bistro
Service here was amazing and the food was a lot better
Look for a waiter Roy, what an incredible person
We ate at Cagney the last night of our cruise. It was great!! Service, taste, and the ambiance were very nice. Just goes to show it all depends on the waiter and the company. 😂
We got home from NCL Joy 4 days ago , both sick with Covid . Two years ago NCL Joy home with Covid .
lol , we were just on NCL Joy and went to Cagney’s and they did not give me mashed potatoes at first , she told me I did not ordered it . I did ( my husband said I heard u order it ) they brought it to me .
It seems this ship is nothing more than eat and booze.
