I don’t think I will cruise the Joy again. Just didn’t like the layout. Love the Epic and other NCL ships

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

All the dining room food was ok. You just need to order the right stuff. Wasn’t to happy of the buffet on top deck. I had better meals on the NCL

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

They had a lot of activities for the young

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Footloose was great! But you have to make reservations for everything first day or before you depart on cruise. Or you standby I new this! But a lot of people complain

Getting off the ships no restrooms. So make sure you visit the restrooms before departing the ship. By the time you get your suitcases and stand in line for passbook and escorted outside. We couldn’t fine any restrooms so off to LAX airport for potty break

I am surprised. I found this ship stunning and full of amenities. We booked a return trip two weeks after we got off it was so nice. What was it that rubbed you wrong?

Great trip but too large of ship

Good ship, subpar service

Ode to Joy: this ship has something for everyone, with great and friendly staff, outstanding food and entertainment, and some wonderfully peaceful spaces.
