Creator's Key Takeaways

I recently spent seven nights on board Norwegian Joy one of the Breakaway plus ships from Norwegian Cruise Line and in this brutally honest review I'm going to tell you about the good on the ship and also areas that Norwegian Cruise Line definitely needs to improve on board their ships

the entertainment it was missing in a lot of ways first of all a lot of the entertainment offered on Norwegian Joy was only available at an upcharge

I really enjoyed my cruise for the value that I got in this cruise I still can't believe what a great value it was

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book Kagney's Steakhouse early as reservations sell out quickly
Upgrade to the premium drink package if you want unlimited bottled water and specialty coffees
Use the Waterfront area to avoid crowds and enjoy outdoor seating

I provide a brutally honest review of the Norwegian Joy cruise ship from Norwegian Cruise Line. I sailed on Norwegian Joy on a 7-day cruise in May 2024. In this honest Norwegian Joy review I tell you all about the cruise ship, cruise food, cruise entertainment, cruise ports, and cruise service onboard Norwegian Joy. During my recent cruise travel on NCL Joy I was able to try out a couple of the specialty dining restaurants, Q Texas Smokehouse and Cagney's Steakhouse, and in this honest review of Norwegian Joy I tell you about all of the cruise food and cruise dining onboard Norwegian Cruise Line. I took a Norwegian cruise on NCL Joy out of New York City. This cruise on the cruise ship Norwegian Joy took me to Bermuda.
