Norwegian Joy - Tips

make reservations for the dinners, shows and activities as soon as you can. I really wanted to try Ocean Blue restaurant & Teppayanki but couldn't get in because there weren't any openings.

Get to observation lounge early. It is packed. It was offensive to me to see people sleeping on all the couches all the time I think this should not be allowed.

Book everything as soon as you get on board at one of the screens (even before going to your stateroom!) All the popular activities fill up fast, especially the race track.

make sure you pre reserve entertainment and dining , and activities so you don't spend your cruise waiting in line.

Wear some comfortable shoes and clothes because there is plenty to do on the ship.

Book your dining, entertainment, and activities as quickly as possible!

Try to book your activities before hand.

This is a great ship for families with kids of all ages

Book specialty restaurants (especially the Q) and activities such as the Go Carts BEFORE boarding. We did not, and had to scramble to get reservations.

Make sure you make reservations for the things you want to do as soon as you can.

Be patient at the elevator, especially during times when the whole ship is trying to use them. It might take a bit.

I’m sorry to have to say it was one of the most unorganized trips from a professional travel company.

Wait until the end of the Alaska Run to go so they can work out all there problems

Make reservations for dinners as soon as you get on the ship.

If you are a smoker, find another ship

Be rest assured it will exceed your expectations. Also being in good physical health & in shape will help.

Enjoy every minute. She's a beauty!

Enjoy the observation deck ! Get to the Beatles show early because room only holds about 200 people .

Internet is basically barely functional- do not upgrade to the premium package- unable to stream anything

Make reservations as soon as you board for the activities and dining you want to do that require them.
