YouTube Video Description

Date Filmed: April 22, 2023 Norwegian Joy Day 8 Hey Happy Travelers! Welcome to the Norwegian Joy, our very first NCL cruise! We are on a 12 night Caribbean sailing visiting Limón Costa Rica, Colon Panama, Cartagena Colombia, Oranjestad Aruba, Williamstead Curaçao, and Great Stirrup Cay (Norwegian’s private island)! This will mark as our longest sailing, so we are very excited to enjoy this new itinerary, as well as have plenty of time to see what NCL is all about! It is Day 8 onboard the Norwegian Joy, and we are in Oranjestad Aruba! We ventured out on our own off the beaten path to have a unique excursion at the Donkey Sanctuary of Aruba! This is a nonprofit location that operates solely for the purpose of rescuing and taking care of donkeys! This place is doing things right, and we had a blast petting and hugging these cuties all day!
