Review summary

If given the chance ...I would not book the Caribbean in August again. Weather was super hot and 90% humid. Unless you have to travel this month I would wait til after September when hurricane season is over. That being said..Joy is a great ship and I prefer their forward cabins. Closer to gangway when you get off, to Theatre, buffet and tbe Vibe.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Enjoyed both specialty restaurants and buffet. Food was very good.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

The Vibe is a must to escape the pool and deck areas where people still mark chairs and kids run wild. I call that area "the zoo"

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Very light in this area. Bring back the bway shows. A couple of trios is not enough. The one show "Elements" was ok, not fabulous. Kind of like a magician meets a ballet. No spoken words, all acrobatics and magic tricks.
