Review summary

The Joy is beautiful. Alaska is amazing. I liked Ketchikan the best. The cafe is open a little less then before. Teppanyaki was outstanding. Sugarcane Mojito Bar was awesome. Splurge on a balcony, you won’t regret it.

Norwegian fell short!

A must do trip. The Norwegian Joy is an awesome ship. The dining and everything about our cruise was first class. Any time you travel, go with the flow, and have fun. We will most definitley will sail again with Norwegian Cruise Line.
