Amazing ship! Even at full capacity felt like the ship was not that crowded. I wish the port times were longer but found plenty to do on the ship. Crew was amazing, we were always greeted and felt very welcome. The food in the MDR was good! The buffet was very good and was different every night. Plenty of activities while at sea. One of my favorite thing about the ship was the observation ...
Overall a fantastic cruise with very good itinerary. We stayed in Pullman Hotel outstanding Miami airport the night pre cruise. The hotel has a free shuttle from airport to hotel and a $30 shuttle to the port which was great. The ship was brilliant and very Marc large which was good for not too many people in the same place at the same time. We did have one day when the weather wasn’t very good so ...
We enjoyed the Bliss and had a good balcony room the food was good and the service was excellent. We would go again! OH we did we went back to back we went from LA to Miami and back to LA 30 Days. It was fun we will do it again some day!! I cannot post this because not use enough words so I will add some. We had a very good time. We liked the ship, we liked the beer, we liked the food, we liked ...
We were beyond impressed with ship from the moment we were in line to embark. We boarded by 11am and were in Sugarcanes Mojito bar sipping Mojitos by noon. This turned out to be a favorite haunt with their delicious variety of Mojitos. Coconut/Pineapple, Ginger to name a couple. The ship was very clean and well organized. You would never know there were 4500+ people, no area ever seemed crowded. ...
I've mostly sailed on Carnival and Princess. We did a family thing and sailed on NCL. My first time and I loved it! I stayed in the studio's, which is a small room with a bed, small shower, and separate toilet. You have a video view of the sea so you don't feel claustrophobic. Ive been in inside rooms that wern't much bigger, it was not a problem for me being in a small room. Plenty of storage, I ...
The cruise was chosen for destination and length of cruise I wasn’t sure how the 21 day cruise would be seeing I had not been on a ship for this lengthy duration. It was wonderful. I found with the longer cruise I never felt rushed to fit everything in or over schedule my time.
The Breakaway has far more outdoor deck space that can be enjoyed with relaxing furniture. There are outside ...
The Jewel was just refurbished in 2018 and is still very new looking. At 2350 capacity she is my size. The seating in the common areas was clean and comfortable. I had a ocean view with 2 persons and it was OK. Beds were new and we had enough space. Entertainment is always a mystery to me. They only play for 45 min and sometimes at really odd times. We ate mostly in the main dinning room and the ...
Before this cruise on the Joy the only experience I had like this were Cunard transatlantic sailings. Once when I was a teen (on the original Queen Mary) and more recently in 2013 on the QM2. I avoided cruises for almost 50 years due to my fear of norovirus. (unheard of in the 1960's) Last February my son in law was offered a CAS cruise at a great price and he needed a travel partner as his ...
There are so many wonderful things to say about our cruise on the NCL Joy that it is hard to decide where to begin. So I guess we will go in chronological order.
Embarkation went quickly and without a hitch. It was efficient and went quickly with no problems. Before we knew it we were on the ship ready to begin our vacation.
Muster Drill was easy and quick. There has been a lot of moaning ...
I decided to go on a solo cruise for the first time. I wanted it to be more than 7 days and I liked the itinerary for the Bliss from Los Angeles to Miami. I started with an interior room and upgraded to an oceanview and received the promotional bonus for that ($50 off each excursion, 2 free speciality dining offers & 300 free wifi minutes).
Embarkation in LA was not bad. I arrived at the ...
