Creator's Key Takeaways

It's absolutely beautiful. Norwegian Joy aims to thrill.

This is what we came for. This is unreal.

I was a reluctant cruiser. I didn't want to go on cruises. This changed everything.

We cannot risk anything, so it's it's too much then we have to stop.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book the go-kart track in advance as it's fully booked all day.
Visit the observation lounge for the best views, especially at the bow during glacier viewing.
