Review summary

We have cruised mainly on Royal Caribbean (RC) in the past and have also been on Celebrity, Carnival and Princess. NCL was fine when compared to RC and the Joy seemed to have many more bars and complimentary dining options.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Had 11:00 check-in but it seemed a bit chaotic as many other people were there as the same time

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Specialty dining was excellent for top restaurants; Main dining room menus were limited and we chose to then not eat there

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Mini Golf, Fitness Center, Pools

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Late night adult shows started too early as we had several specialty dining at that time. Lots of options and performers but nothing that really was "wow"

Children's Programs

No children!
