We chose this cruise because it went to ports we hadn't been to. The weather wasn't great, lots of rain on a few port days. But the amenities on the ship more than compensated for the weather. The ship is beautiful and we found it easy to get around. Our favorite hangout spot was the Observation Lounge. It featured comfortable seating where we spent time reading, relaxing and watching panoramic ...

The information about the land-based portion are integral to the trip because you may visit one or more of those locations before or during a cruise you take. I hope the information provided throughout this article will be helpful to you. ...
We took this cruise to see what MSC is all about. Never sailed on any other cruise line before just NCL. But with recent cutbacks in many areas and the increased cost to sail with them, it was time to try something else.
In the past MSC has been blasted with so many negative reviews, everything from “ too European “, poor entertainment, bad service, and questionable negative food reviews, thing ...
Left out of Bayonne, easy in and out. Went on a 5 day Bermuda cruise, celebrating my daughter’s MBA. Stayed in a spacious balcony room. Everything was great.
The only issue we had was the my time dining, which did not seem to be on our time but when a spot was available, which was late evening. Next time I would go with a designated time. Found the food better than Oasis of the Seas. ...
We were blown away by the beauty of the ship. There was always something to do. We enjoyed lounging by the adult pool, main pool, and indoor pool. The buffet was crowded at times, but there were endless options. We especially loved the pizza and pasta. We loved the little mini desserts and poolside ice cream and pizza. The arcade area was fun for some extra entertainment. The staff was friendly ...
This was our first ever cruise. We were looking for something out of NY or NJ and a short 5 day cruise, just in case we did not like it. I’m not really sure how, but we wound up choosing NCL and at the time of booking, based on prices, due to number of people (5), we chose to go the Haven route. Figured we would go all out as it might be the last time we could all go together. Trying to keep a ...
I picked this cruise ship to renew my vows. I had an awesome time on the ship. GSM, Mr. Gerald, was the sweetest person on the ship. A big heart. Ronald, Tracy who works in Promenade Cafe... Ostestes in dining room 3..., and Dinelo were SUPERB. ❤️
The ship was clean, workers were very helpful and friendly. Food was amazing!! New, clean towels daily, menus in the cafeteria changed ...
My husband (39), son (7), and I (42) cruised on the Joy from Manhattan to Bermuda in mid-August 2023. We stayed in a Haven Courtyard Suite. Overall, we had a lovely cruise. We met some families and thoroughly enjoyed hanging out. That said, we could see some of the complaints others have about the ship and found one we hadn't yet read about. For reference, this was my husband's third cruise ...
We chose this cruise because wanted to go back to Bermuda. Since the ship docks in Bermuda for three days, it’s like your own floating hotel. Bermuda is relatively safe, so you can come and go as you please on and off the ship. Bermuda has a good bus system and taxi service.
NCL seems like they are trying to make up for lost revenue that occurred during COVID. But, all businesses seem to be ...
Cruise was chosen because of destinations and the fact that we were boarding from Baltimore… great port! I can’t say enough about the staff on Vision! Great service.. So friendly.. went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful trip… Altogether there were 9 of us traveling together there was supposed to be 12, but a last minute accident changed this.. we all booked our trips separately, but ...
