Review summary
Even though we were not allowed off the ship in Bermuda due to bad weather, Joy was a beautiful ship with so much to be enjoyed. Plenty to do, never felt crowded. Excellent food and entertainment. Internet not great, I don't believe they have Starlink yet.Embarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Observation Lounge
My most favorite place in the world. Best observation lounge I have ever experienced. Sad they are making it smaller during next dry dock.
La Cucina Italian Restaurant
The best food at sea!! Everything tasted like a 5 star restaurant. Flavor was great. Not large portions, but filling.
American Diner
Can get breakfast here instead of going to the buffet! It's a well kept secret. Same good as buffet just without the crowds and lines.
Q Texas Smokehouse
Love the country vibes in here! Typical great BBQ food and live country music!
Garden Cafe
Great buffet, plenty of choices.
Onboard Activities
Atrium
The most beautiful atrium.
Mini Golf
Needs a complete revamp.
Pulse Fitness Center
Good options, but it was always hot in there. I don't believe there was a water machine like on other ships. All the equipment except one bike were working.
Aqua Park
2 water slides, one geared more towards adults which is nice.
Entertainment
Galaxy Pavilion
Cool area, never anyone in it though. Each activity was about $8 each.

Ship tip
Specialty dining on NCL is always worth it! Purchase a package prior to sailing, almost double the price when you try to buy onboard.
Ports of call
Royal Naval Dockyard, West End, Bermuda
