Norwegian Joy Cruise Reviews - 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.

Investigate Cruise Credit policy.

The Aft elevators were far less crowded then the forward elevators. Make reservations before you get on the boat

Great room

The specialty package choice of $200 for $50 per port excursion credit AND 5 specialty restaurants was well worth the value. A hint I suppose would be that ships in this larger class on NCL do not have obstructed ocean views so no reason not to select just a basic ocean view ... but on this cruise the upcharge for balcony was only $50.

Get the drink and specialty dining package!

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.

Buy specialty dining coupons and drink coupons.

Watch the charges

Book restaurants and shows early.

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

Get ready to relax, eat, drink and have fun!

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

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.

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

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

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