Review summary

I am a Saphire NCL cruiser and I was very disappointed in various aspects. The theatre especially. No live band! too small for a full ship. Internet was slow. The shows were not up to par. The comedy club lacked humor. No lobster dinner at the main dining room. The food was fair at best. I would NOT go back on the Joy.

The ship was definitely not full. It was almost a ghost town. No lines or waiting for anything.

Full ship? We were on 2 weeks ago and it was 41% capacity, it changed that much in 2 weeks?

Damn. That's no good. I hope your next ship is better. I'm on the Escape in 54 days, I hope I don't have the same experience.

Hey shipmate. I was in this sailing and I agree with everything minus the food. I’m still so disappointed in the entertainment I haven’t even done my review. I’d still get on the Joy. She’s a beauty. I still had a great cruise.
