Review summary

Do not read any reviews for April Cruise on 2019. They are biased as they are from the Travel Agents who received a free cruise to go. Food was horrendous at the Garden Café. to the point we waited until we got to port to eat lunch. Even breakfast they screwed up. Do not let them take your luggage, you will never see it again. They do not know how to transfer your luggage in Seattle. Still do not have my luggage. Staff is CLUELESS. They do not speak English well and cannot answer your questions. Children's club took the kids to the nightclub where alcohol is served. Avoid the Joy and take another ship. Do not go for concierge level. After 5 days we went down to meet the Concierge as he never showed up, he was not at his station. Had to go to regular guest services to make dining reservations as he was never around. They even changed my show reservations and dining prior to getting on the ship and cancelled some dining reservations without asking me what I wanted.

Those that have cruised on the Joy, can you tell me if my family needs to make reservations for dining every night? What is the wait if we don’t make them?

I was on the May 4th cruise also. One of my most pleasant cruises and I have done close to a hundred. The variety of food and quality in the Garden Cafe was wonderful! I chose to eat every meal there. Staff were friendly and ship was beautiful. Went smoothly from start to finish.
