I would not have gone on Norwegian Joy if I had it to do over again. Sorry but not pleased with trip. This was my first cruise and I’m very disappointed. I would not go again.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Observation Lounge

5 out of 5

Best free venue on the ship.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Shows were very good. I was upset having to pay extra for activities like the go carts $15 for 8 laps. I felt this kind og activity should have been included.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
All the shows were very good. Several were booked out.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff were great. Way above what was expected.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
The layout was good but required miles of walking to do anything. Of course the ship was clean. Its just out from being overhalled.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Very clean and adequate room size. A lot of vibration was annoying.

Ship tip

I’m sorry to have to say it was one of the most unorganized trips from a professional travel company.
