Now before we get into this review properly, it’s important to point a few things out. Firstly this is a review of a ship that is just out of a Dry Dock refurbishment. Some work was still quite likely to be going on while we were on the way to Miami and some additional maintenance staff would be on board as a result. But here’s the really interesting thing about this cruise – there were NO ports of call.

Using advanced low earth orbit satellites, SpaceX's Starlink delivers industry leading broadband internet connectivity, which will improve the capacity, speed, and reliability of Internet on board. No areas of the ship ever felt crowded and you could easily find entertainment or relaxation any time of the day. Our cruise director Jake and his team of entertainment and activities staff did a great job on this cruise.

In 2017, the brand NCL had a worldwide cruise market share 8,7% (passengers) and 8,4% (revenue). NCLH (shipowner) owns the brands NCL, Oceania and RSSC-Regent. NCL Joy ship is currently scheduled for a drydock refurbishment in 2024 (January 6 thru February 16), to be conducted at Grand Bahama Shipyard in Freeport. Our modern inside staterooms are highlighted with appointments like a TV, sitting area and more.

Ever since our second cruise, we have opted for rooms in the Haven. In that time, the common areas of the ship (including, and perhaps especially, the Haven) have improved dramatically, but the service and quality of food have both declined substantially. In terms of “public” non-premium access, Norwegian Joy effectively has two key areas for Sun worshippers. The main pool deck and the upper sun deck on deck 16 and 17 mid, and the Spice H20 adults-only area at the very aft of the ship on deck 17. With Norovirus and then subsequently COVID impacting cruise ships, cruise lines fitted washing stations outside buffet dining areas. Many of them also implemented a “washy washy” staff member that reminds guests to wash their hands before dining with an entertaining rendition of songs.

The penthouse suite is slightly smaller than the family suite, but does feature a real balcony, not a virtual one. The Club balcony suite is very similar to the balcony staterooms, but with a little extra room and extra amenities. Here’s what you can expect when you take a Norwegian Joy cruise, from your stateroom or suite to the restaurants to the kid’s programming. Norwegian Joy is a Breakaway Plus-class cruise ship operated by Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) and is the second of four Breakaway Plus-class vessels in the company's fleet. Built by Meyer Werft in Papenburg, Germany, she was delivered in April 2017.

The Aqua Park on Deck 16 offers a double-loop waterslide that goes out over the side of the ship, for a thrilling ride. The Aqua Racer is a fun way to challenge your family to see who’s the speediest. Then, there’s a kid-friendly section of the Aqua Park that just provides water features suitable for the tiniest travelers in your bunch.
Norwegian Joy boasts a walkable promenade dubbed The Waterfront. There, you get amazing views of the water and all the fresh air you could want as you walk around the side of the ship at a leisurely pace. Along the quarter-mile route are restaurants and bars, so you can stop for a bite or a drink if you so wish. I did intend to give it a try, but sadly I never got around to it. However fellow cruisers on our Facebook roll-call group for the cruise appeared to enjoy it, although they did say the track is tight and it can be very difficult to pass slower karts. Of course, on a mid-February Atlantic crossing, the weather was not conducive to using this area.
With a private balcony, these Mini-suites also offer amazing views. Located mid-ship and connecting with another oceanview stateroom, you will have easy access to everything and room to spread out. These staterooms feature a large picture window and two single beds that convert to a queen-size bed. Enjoy a night of gastronomic proportions at one of our many specialty restaurants.

On April 5, 2016, started the vessel's physical construction/assembly with the keel-laying ceremony. During the event, the first keel block (weighing 680 tons, one of all 80 blocks comprising the vessel) was lifted by a huge crane and placed into the shipyard's covered building hall. Previously, a special commemorative coin was created and during the keel laying was traditionally placed under the first building block. The coin was blessed on March 31, 2016, at XingTian Temple (Shanghai) during a pledge ceremony to the Chinese goddess of the sea "Mazu". Galaxy Pavilion (gaming center) is equipped with interactive video walls and Oculus virtual reality technology. The "Studio" area (cabins and lounge area for solo travelers exclusively) on NCL Joy is occupied by Interior Family Suites (a total of 33 accommodations).
Known as The Emerald City, Seattle is a beautiful, luscious city with incredible views of the Cascade Mountains and Elliott Bay. The city is full of activities for both water lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. On a cruise from San Francisco you can experience all that the ‘City by the Bay’ has to offer, from its artistic, forward-looking culture to the beautiful coastline. Drydock 2024 also included general maintenance works, technical overhauls, hull cleaning/repainting. The onboard naming ceremony featured a live performance by the vessel's godfather Wang Leehom.
There was lots of storage, thanks to a large double wardrobe and additional shelving, which easily accommodated all our belongings for the 11-day crossing. The standout feature had to be the bathroom, boasting a double sink and a luxurious double-width shower, enclosed by glass sliding doors. All you need to do now is to attend your muster station on embarkation day at some point before the ship departs. This actually part of the origin of the word “posh” to describe things that are that little bit nicer or special – Posh stands for “Port Out Starboard Home”. You would sail out from the UK westbound on the Port side and on the return, you would do Starboard, as that side of the ship would be facing the sun. We originally booked an Interior room midship on the 11th floor for this cruise.
