Overall a great trip with the good outweighing the bad by jwo44

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Norwegian Joy

Overall, I enjoyed the cruise, but getting food poisoning was the worst and makes me hold back on five stars. And 4500 people on the ship is a lot to deal with. The Joy is a great ship and Bermunda is nice if you've never been. I went in June but would suggest going in Sept/Oct if you want to go to the beach and go in the water. The water temp was cold and I got in and out and that was it. I'd go again in five years.

Semi-good Vacay by richardb124

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Joy

I was anticipating a much better experience. We were disappointed with the fact in order to get lounge chairs by the pool was an impossible task unless you were out there by 7:00am. I believe the ship was short staffed as there were a lot of bars not open.

Painful by Allie1031

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Joy

I cracked my tooth in the local restaurant on the Joy, I called medical an they wanted to charge me $200. I said I cracked my tooth on your ship in your restaurant. She told me to.fill out an accident report an if they BELIEVED MEi would not be charged, but I'd they thought I was lying, then I would have to pay for a consultation an.then.pay again to see the doctor. In other words they accused me of lying. I will never sail with NCL again.

It was nice to get away by AnitaJ4

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Norwegian Joy

As our title said, it was nice to get away.Not sure what is going on with NCL.Seems they have cut back on just about everything while raising gratuties.Also i dont think they ever cut anyone off if drinking too much. Saw many people staggering , and even falling down drunk.

Worst cruise experience by Blackhawk

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Joy

Though weather related setbacks and delays are acceptable, the number of issues encountered during this trip are not acceptable. We were disappointed with this cruise and future NCL trips are in question for us!!!!

Fairly Enjoyable 12 Day NCL Caribbean Cruise; Except..... by tsjswede

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Joy

Overall, it was a satisfactory cruise. Food, Staff and ship were very good and we added to the ships economy / bottom line through the casino! This was one of the smoothest sailing ships we have been on. The ocean was very calm on most days and we really never felt any wave motion. However, the disembarkation stained an overall pleasant cruise.

Overall trip was great. Haven area has gone down on service outside and Concierge Services. by russon

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Joy

Great cruise overall with the exception of some Haven perks lost since the shutdown. Concierge services were almost not existent. I think he was overwhelmed with the job or number of guest.

Fabulous Cruise by Nursemargo35

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Joy

NCL did a great job overall. The employees were polite, competent and professional for the most part. We had an issue occur in one of the speciality restaurants and reported it to customer service. They handled it in a professional manner which satisfied us.

Smooth Sea's on the Joy by SmurfMN

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Norwegian Joy

The Norwegian Joy is a great ship. We had the calmest seas we've ever experienced. The food and entertainment was wonderful as expected. Make sure to check out the observation lounge. It's a great place to relax and get a snack.

Love the Cruising life! by AMT413

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Joy

There are pros and cons with each cruise line. Lack of pools on a ship that has 2 days at sea was a big con. I would not go on NCL's Joy again, if sailing in the Caribbean. Overall food was very good.

Wonderful Caribbean Cruise by RealStevieP

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Joy

Overall, my wife and I enjoyed our time on the cruise ship. We aren't foodies or really picky people. We loved the trip and it is right up our alley. Laid back people who just wanted to have fun and lay in the sun.

Pretty good trip despite the rain by Cruiser39235545

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Joy

Library had limited hours and no books of English language to take out; had to go that route since there was no magazines or books to purchase on the ship; there was no newsstand kind of store on the ship; food at the garden cafe was repetitive, fatty and always COLD; never had good American food other than cold burgers and cold pizza; very difficult to book specialty restaurants and shows since they were booked early prior to the cruise unless your were ok to eat at 9:30 at night or while in port during an excursion
