A great experience from embarking till the end of our cruise. The staff were all wonderful. The food was so good. We had specialty dining six of the 10 nights. Cagney’s and Le Bistro were our two favorites. The bread pudding in Q Texas smokehouse was a definite highlight. Full ship, but didn’t feel crowded. Elevators were full a few times, but never a major issue. All the stops had stunning scenery. Our Balcony cabin was well worth the price to have unforgettable views. We saw whales almost every day of the cruise. The magician was a lot funnier than either of the comedians. It was more an entertainment experience than just about the magic tricks. The Beatles show was also really good. Although, the cavern club was overcrowded for the show. First time trying the thermal suite and really enjoyed it. The four senses lounger, plunge pool, and aromatic steam room were the best parts. The rainfall ritual was an odd setup where none of the settings were pleasant or relaxing. The Thelasso therapy pool was like a lukewarm hot tub with jets. Overall it was a great cruise.
I’d give it 8.5 out of 10.. 10 day cruise gave us more time to unwind and enjoy pros -Great itinerary - included Skagway which tours to the Yukon Territory.. that’s very scenic and a great experience -Passengers are respectful and friendly -Staff very helpful and courteous -Entertainment - enjoyed Beatles cover, Jaxtones, comediens included and adult show which was both funny and outrageous.. liked the magician JP Parent who has a hilarious though somewhat perverted act. - food - for most part good - embarkation - great and easy - bars made good drinks Cons - restaurant seating- very slow to figure out where to seat people at check in - food - fusion restaurant not good - entertainment - district piano player not good - layout - atrium a little crowded The way it’s set up Good value.. older crowd.. did not feel crowded… recommend. Leave kids at home and enjoy
We had a great cruise on the Norwegian Joy to Alaska. All of our ports were fantastic. Glacier Bay was incredible, and even docking at Ward’s Cove was not as obnoxious as I thought it might be. I have also sailed on the Norwegian Encore and felt the Joy was a better experience. That could be because the Encore was during spring break and the teenager ratio was very high during that trip. Our food was very good, not incredible, but not bad. My favorite dining during the week was the specialty meal at Ocean Blue. My least favorite was the chipotle shrimp in the main dining room. For a dish that was supposed to be spicy that was very little to no flavor. Service overall was good. Jamila in the A-list bar was spectacular. I would love for Norwegian to bring back more specialty bar menus. The generic bar menu is kind of dull. Despite our high frequency of cruising, I made the rookie mistake of booking a cabin above the Cavern Club. For the most part, it was fine, but during the Beatles Sets in particular, it sounded like they were in the cabin with us. The good news is they finished early and we were rarely in the cabin during the times that they were on. Karaoke ran until 11 PM each night, but similarly we didn’t get to the room before that or much before that so it was never a distraction as much as an amusement.
The crew were very friendly and helpful. The behind the scenes tour was worth it. Saw the ECR, laundry, behind the stage, the galley with a talk from chef Anio along with a picture then the bridge. All of the excursions were fun. Really enjoyed the raptor tour. Glacier Bay was phenomenal. The ship turned in place so everyone could see the glacier. I wish we had more time in a few places, like Ketchikan, the eagle we saw flying around was amazing, saw a lot of juvenile eagles there. I could have stayed there for days. The steward we had was very helpful and friendly. Made our room feel special every day. The only drawbacks we had was the American diner was outside, so it was cold eating there and the buffet some of the food under the heat lamps was cold. But the fresh made omelets were delicious, and they had something there for everyone. Fresh fruit, dry cereal, hot cereal and foods from different cultures. But the washy washy hand-washing crew were wonderful. There interaction was fun to watch, singing every day.
I realize that expectations and point of view steer reviews. We had a three generational group of 14. We are over seventy and cruise regularly. Our group all agreed that without the freestyle dining we would not have known it was an NCL cruise. Either NCL has upped their game or this ship is exceptional. Although the Joy is a 3800 passenger ship, it feels much smaller. Sure it has a tube slide and go kart track, but there is always a quiet small place nearby to sit and enjoy the ride. The Bistro, Cagney's Steakhouse and Ocean are excellent. Q barbecue is quantity with a dose of "entertainment" that will cause hearing loss. It was regularly a two for one special! The Free at Sea package included drinks, wifi and several specialty restaurants. Beefeaters, Bombay and Tanqueray were included without an upcharge. My drinks were an honest pour and in the right proportions. Only two bad drinks at Skyline Bar. Our 15th floor balcony cabin was good but tight in spots. The closet faces the bed instead of the entry hall. Our steward Marvin was excellent and very responsive to our requests. Embark/disembark was fast and efficient. Sidewalk to on the ship less than one hour. Unfortunately the Alaska that I remember from previous cruises has become more cruise port commercialized. Ten bars and 21 jewelry stores really! If you are informed and match your expectations accordingly, you will probably have a good cruise. Celebrity has been our go to but NCL will give them a run if it keeps up this quality especially considering price. Expensive wildlife excursions abound. We saw bald eagles, brown bear, otters and whales often from the comfort of the Observation Lounge. Altogether a great cruise enjoyed by all in our group with no real complaints. For what it is worth.......
