Creator's Key Takeaways

We just got back from a spring break trip here on the Norwegian Joy, and this ship was full of surprises.

The ship was immaculate. So crew members were constantly cleaning everything, hand sanitizer everywhere.

We were a bit disappointed. So, let's get into why. So, at first off, this was extra. So, it cost $15 a person.

Our kids said this trip was their favorite trip they've ever been on.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Make your teens go to the teen club on day one to form friendships.
Get a reservation for main dining to avoid wait times, especially with young children.
Consider the specialty dining for a better experience, but be aware of the additional charge.
