Review summary

We usually sail on medium ships and were wary of sailing on another large ship after a bad experience on the breakaway. This experience was thankfully excellent. The ship never felt crowded, we were able to book and enjoy the things we wanted to do without bad waits. We generally prefer longer, more port-intensive itineraries so while we'd happily sail on the joy again, we'd likely opt for a different itinerary than this one. No fault of NCL, but our only port day was rained out and 4 days mostly on the ship isn't our preference.

Easy to get in with no wait, but food isn't very interesting

Spice H2O

more crowded than the main pool deck somehow and I saw many children coming in and out.

Q Texas Smokehouse

YUM! I hope more NCL ships get this option.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Lots of options and a less crowded pool deck. We enjoyed mini golf, the spa, and the galaxy pavilion

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Loved the musicians. Footloose isn't a great show and could easily make way for something better.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Interacting with crew is one of our favorite parts of cruising and this crew was always friendly and amazing!

Larger bathroom than we've had on other ships plus a few extra USB ports were appreciated. Same layout as most balcony cabins
