JOYful Cruise by nearbayside

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Norwegian Joy / Destination: Coastal - West Coast

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.

Great US Inaugural Cruise by CruiselineSarah

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Norwegian Joy / Destination: Coastal - West Coast

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.

Fun Joy Ride Along the West Coast by sofit

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Norwegian Joy / Destination: Coastal - West Coast

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.

Nice 3 Night Escape by CruiselineQ

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Norwegian Joy / Destination: Coastal - West Coast

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.

A short west-coast trip, great to escape the daily grind and have nothing to worry about for a bit by mgribov

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Norwegian Joy / Destination: Coastal - West Coast

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.

Wonderful short trip by Emily65

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Norwegian Joy / Destination: Coastal - West Coast

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.

Beautifully done, large ship with lots of options by Itrvlfar

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Joy / Destination: Coastal - West Coast

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.

The Emerald Princess - Here's the scoop! by moreoflove

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Emerald Princess / Destination: Coastal - West Coast

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.
