Creator's Key Takeaways

I brought my mom with me on this cruise and we are planning to have a relaxing week on one of my favorite ships the Norwegian Joy

it's my fifth time on the joy and she just went through a refurbishment back in January of this year so I'm excited to see what's changed

one thing that's new about the spice H2O area on the joy is that there is no more smoking sections so in my opinion that is a big plus and I'm really excited about that

always an amazing experience to sail away from New York

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Check the cabin location before booking to ensure beds are on the balcony side if preferred
โœ“Visit the adults-only area Spice H2O for a less crowded sailaway experience

Welcome back to Mer Cruises Solo! This time, I am NOT solo! I brought my mom with me on this cruise, and we are boarding the incredible NCL Joy in Manhattan, heading to spend three days in Bermuda! This is my 5th time on the Joy, and we are excited to see what, if anything, has changed since it's dry dock refurbishment back in January of this year (2024). We board and spend some time relaxing in the adults only area, Spice H2O and then catch the incredible New York City sailaway! In this video, you'll see embarkation day, our dinner at Manhattan Room and our first day at sea! I take you on a mini tour of the brand new Spa Thermal Suite and the Observation Lounge. I just love this ship! Hope you enjoy watching, leave a comment if you have any questions about the Joy! #norwegianjoy #cruisenorwegian #ncl #cruise ---------------------------- Also follow me on: โญ๏ธ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mer.cruises.solo?igsh=bDQ4Yzh6NnIwdjR5&utm_source=qr โญ๏ธ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61557939269892&mibextid=LQQJ4d โญ๏ธ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mer.cruises.solo?_t=8iyjrVMz7ug&_r=1 โญ๏ธ Threads: https://www.threads.net/@mer.cruises.solo ๐Ÿ“ง Email: mer.cruises.solo@gmail.com ---------------------------- ๐ŸŽฌ Filmed with: ๐Ÿ“ธ Sony ZV-1F Camera ๐Ÿ“น DJI Osmo Action 4 (https://amzn.to/4e1tOpZ) ๐Ÿ“ฑ iPhone 14 Pro Max ๐ŸŽถ Music: Epidemic Sound (https://share.epidemicsound.com/xetgrd)
