U.S. Cruise Reviews

I had lots of fun on this cruise, all the food and drinks were great and the staff made the trip really easy to enjoy. The ship has lots of things to do to keep you occupied. I only wish it was warmer so I could of tried the pool areas and water slides next time. Other than that, I would recommend this ship to anyone.

The Norwegian Joy is full of activities and entertainment that will keep you busy your entire trip, yet rest and relaxation are not hard to find. It was a great ship and vacation all around.

I think this was a great little cruise for travel agents/media to get to know the ship! While I think there are some design decisions (in particular) that I think NCL should have made differently for this ship, the food, service, and entertainment that I was involved with was great. I don't doubt that this is a good choice for those looking to sail to Alaska.

A fun time on a lovely ship with friendly staff. There were plenty of activities to keep us busy, even without any ports of call. Food quality left something to be desired, but that was not the focus of our experience. Would have loved to have had more time on the race track, but I'm glad we got one go at it. Overall would recommend this ship for anyone whose main focus in not the dining quality.

Norwegian Joy was a fun ship and trip. Delicious food, every drink imaginable, fun activities and shows that keep your interest. I would recommend this ship to everyone from retired couples to families, there is something for everyone!

Joy is a beautiful new ship with so much to do that it is impossible to be bored. Highlights were dinner at the Q (recommend the short ribs), a decadent seafood buffet at Garden Cafe, flying around corners on the Go Carts and watching Footloose.

There's a lot offered on this ship that's sure to keep everyone in the family entertained.

A great way to disconnect and not have to worry (too much) about what to eat or what to do, a very relaxing experience. Ship has plenty of things to explore and experience. The internet connection could be better.

Overall, this was a great mini vacation to see the west coast. The ports allowed me to visited two beautiful places I’ve never never been before. There are a few things that need to be worked out on the ship to make it a little more organized but that will not stop you from having a good time. I would cruise with them again.

This is beautifully recently renovated for the US market ship with lots of things to do for all ages. The virtual reality area had lots of games and things to do as well as an F1 simulator. The food was excellent across all venues and service was warm and with a smile albeit a little slow in certain venues while they worked out the new ship kinks. The Observation Lounge is a great place in Alaska to view wildlife and scenery and lots of seating along with Starbucks and a bar. This is a large ship and while it can be a challenge to find people as there is no central area that people stroll through, each of the venues is very well done and uniquely themed. One tip if you are in a hallway of cabins, the fish in the carpeting always swim toward the front of the ship, so if you aren't sure which way you are going, just look down and see which way the fish are swimming.

very good trip,, the ship is amazing and has everything to make a great family vacation

Loved this cruise. First time cruising pacific coast. Highly recommend.

Would recommend, highly. Good cruise with a great crew and upgraded ship and yummy food!

Overall a good time but not spectacular for the most part - food was good but not amazing, and the amenities were good but nothing outstanding.

Tired ship buffet bad bland. Whole suckling pig for Eve entree???

This was my first cruise which I completely enjoyed from the first day to the last. There was plenty of entertainment, food, beverages, lounging areas, bars. Staff very friendly and helpful. Can’t wait to sail again!!

The Emerald Princess was about what we expected. It's an older ship and definitely needs some updating. The club class is the way to go if you can. We did a full review of the ship here: https://youtu.be/UwUljBjRK4A #LoveAboveAll...Blessings.

Curious line is good, relaxing after Disneyland. Kids club’s organization is poor. Food is excellent and activities are fun.

This was a repositioning cruise with three sea days, just a relaxing cruise.
