Overall this was a very enjoyable cruise in spite of missing the first two scheduled ports in Canada due to damages caused by hurricane Fiona.
Embarkation
4 out of 5
Everything went smoothly but there was a long line for the screening process, and the Latitude Rewards level did not matter.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
The lunch hot entree selection at the Garden Buffet was not as good as in other NCL cruises. Cagney's, Le Bistro, La Cucina, and Ocean Blue were excellent.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
I only used the fitness center and I thought it was pretty well equipped and spacious.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Footloose, Elements, and Po Cheng Lai magician were excellent.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
All NCL staff was courteous and friendly and showed appreciation.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
The Norwegian Joy has one of the best layouts and interior design.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Our cabin was excellent. We especially liked the double sink in the bathroom and the size and shower head in the shower. The balcony door sealed really well and provided a quiet cabin.
We took the Best of Portland and Kennebunkport excursion. Unfortunately our bus had a problem with the PA system or the tour guide didn't use the microphone well and we couldn't hear the tour guide very well in the back of the bus. They couldn't fix the problem so for the most part it was pretty much like riding a regular bus until we got to a destination.
