A Day At Sea Onboard Norwegian Joy: What To Expect

It's a day at sea onboard Norwegian Joy and I show you what to expect when you sail this cruise ship. This video will cover two days at sea on the Norwegian Joy. I booked this cruise on the Norwegian Joy cruise ship because it was a cheap cruise and Norwegian Cruise Line threw in lots of perks with my reservation. Norwegian Joy is a Breakaway Plus series cruise ship currently sailing out of New York City to Bermuda. Norwegian Joy debuted in 2017 and is one of the newest ships in the fleet of Norwegian Cruise Line cruise ships.
In this sea day vlog video we will explore Norwegian Joy, including the entertainment at shows like Elements and Wheel of Fortune. We will also talk about the comedy shows on Norwegian Joy, what the pool deck is like on a sea day, and talk about dining and food on Norwegian Joy. I also show you the nightly entertainment onboard the cruise ship, including the stage production show Elements and Wheel of Fortune.

Oh, I just LOVE NCL ships. That waterfront area really is wonderful - it's amazing how it's always dead down there when the top deck is SO busy! Great video as always, Zach!

[@FAB5FORTY]

Management needs to be aware that your door was not secured.

[@poodlebone]

I did my second solo cruise on the Joy to Bermuda last month as well and had a fantastic time. I only went on my first cruise ever less than 2 years ago and that was also on the Joy so I'm always going to be very fond of the ship.

[@janloder477]

Love your vlogs, very informative, detailed, without being boring. Your accent is wonderful too👏❤️

[@theneverendinghighway]

I don't drink alcohol or soda so I always turn off the drink package option, saving me the $150 cost to the gratuities they charge for it. Since I do drink coffee, I then buy the Starbucks package that NCL offers for around $115 which gets me as much coffee as I desire. I probably drink 4 or 5 in a day on cruises, totally paying for itself. I also like to ask my room attendant if they like coffee and what kind do they like. Since you can order 2 coffees at a time, every 30 minutes, in the mornings I will get my coffee and then whatever they drink. I feel like it's a nice added gesture for someone who is working really hard that doesn't cost me any extra money as I would be buying it for myself anyways.

Thanks Zach! We enjoyed your video!

[@sandygenier795]

Looking forward to day 3

[@AnthonyHolo96]

Can’t wait for my trip

[@Oceanatornowk]

Heading on her in a week! Glad to see you can walk around the waterfront because I had heard how crowded the walking track is.

[@darrenchichester9777]

Thanks for visiting us here in Bermuda! Hope you had a great trip. I’m treating some family to a cruise on JOY in October sailing out of Miami! 😂. Just to share for others-. If you have the Free at Sea basic beverage package like we do you can add on the Starbucks package for $12.95 / day. I simply called customer service and they took my CC number over the phone. To note, they do require anyone in your cabin to be charged as well). Still a great deal if you think you might hit up Starbucks 2-3 times /day. Happy Sailing!

[@fiffanj]

Finding the cabin door ajar would concern me too. I thought they always automatically closed behind you. I’d call guest services and ask for maintenance to have them check the door (spring maybe), to make sure it is working properly. Never hurts to check. I’ve read the thermal suite was redone during the recent update to the Joy - did you happen to visit? Nice to see your food choices for the included restaurants!

[@ja_sweet_tart4539]

Twice my cabinmates left our door unlocked. Hard to tell them to make sure it locks (they're teens so I couldn't be too hard on them). I started making sure the door got locked after watching another KZbinr talk about how often hotel room doors don't get locked as we assume they automatically do.

[@mecmaneen]

I was on the Bliss in October '23. The observation deck was favorite, bar none, for ambience and for food/drink.

[@salliestewart4713]

I would politely mention to your steward. This has been great informative video. Thanks

[@Lord.Kiltridge]

We really enjoyed the dinner and a show concept of the Manhattan Room and I _love_ the NCL pager system. We would take the pager up to the Prime Meridian Bar located one deck up between Cagney's and Moderno and have pre dinner cocktails. I liked this routine so much that I was actually disappointed when there was no wait and we were seated right away.

[@scottgiven2780]

On the Gem here in Bermuda right now - will be heading out of here on Tuesday and missing you by one day.

[@rj4356]

I'm enjoying your vlog! Yes, report that your door was left open. That is not good. Your room steward doesn't want to be blamed for any stolen items, I'm sure. Reporting this protects both of you!

[@JourneyWithTheGingers]

Hi Zach! Great video as always! Can you check in for the main dining rooms using the app, or is checking in at the podium the only option?

[@derekfinnegan734]

10 weeks and counting now! I always bring a reusable water bottle with me, so I guess that is going to get some use. Will definitely checking out all those plaques on Deck 6. Very interesting. Definitely would mention the cabin door to the room steward. Thanks for another great vlog.

[@ZachtheTravelingMan]

Great tip. Have a great time!

[@Jon_T19]

I really loved the Joy. I did do a 4 night out of Miami, so it was most certainly a "booze cruise". The best part was when the divorce parties started hanging out with the bachelorette parties. The pool deck was insane on the sea day. My favorite spot on the ship was the mojito bar outside on the waterfront.

[@danielueblacker9118]

Zach love your videos. The unlocked door first thing your Passport should always be in the Safe..... Speak to your room steward first. If he for some unknown reason not a good answer, then go to Guest Service. The shower making noise....... if it not affecting the pressure or temp really not a big deal.... I love Cagney's, the MDR is the specials don't ring my bell I Love the Herb-Crusted Rotisserie Chicken which is a nightly item. Cagney's I go to the first night. MDR I'm online 15 minutes before they open.

[@larrys2554]

Hi, I would definitely ask the room steward if he was in the room? If he was, he needs to be aware of this when leaving. if not, it's time to visit guest services and speak with the hotel manager.

[@StillPooh62]

She actually came when Zach was in, and asked him to leave the cabin so she could service it. It sounds like she was behind schedule and in a big hurry, and neglected to latch the door.

[@sandygenier795]

I wondered if the NCL "Joy" was going to Bermuda from Norfolk VA since it would be closer than leaving from Manhattan?

[@MegaBeaches]

The door thing was weird, they're usually weighted to close on their own. I'd report that to customer svc. As for dinner I've never had to wait on an NCL ship to get into main dining. I've sailed a lot of the breakaway and plus ships just not the Joy.

[@salliestewart4713]

How many laps for a mile on waterfront? Be on escape in 2wks today for my 70th birthday mediterranean cruise. Price is same on land starbucks.

[@StillPooh62]

In regards to your cabin being left open, I would consider it an error of a busy day *unless* it happens again. In the meantime though, I would secure all valuables in either the safe or (my preference) locked luggage under the bed. I'd call guest services about that shower head though. It's incredibly annoying, and might be an easy fix!

[@user-uc3rg7lm2l]

The local is so good when the club closes late at night n they r the only thing open! Is there a bliss on board or what’s the night club?

[@RicardoLopez-mc5op]

Why wait for dining when the buffet is easy peezy ! I would talk to the room steward to ask why was my door open ?

[@wrh41]

Customers should demand bottled water on cruises at no extra charge. Bottled water at the grocery store is 15 cents a bottle or less. Hotels are beginning to offer free bottled water, and cruises should follow suit.

[@latoyajoslyn8116]

WAIT A SECOND!!! You used the ATM on the ship?!?!? What was the fee $12.00.

[@reginestlouis636]

mention it so she can be careful next time.

[@MarieKotasek]

report the room. mistakes happen but the cabin steward needs to be aware

[@atomicrancher3745]

Slight correction…..you CAN’T wear just anything anytime at the sit-down restaurants on Norwegian. Some of us appreciate that and another reason why I almost never eat at the buffet.

[@Pippa1Parker]

Do people actually respect “the towel on the chair “ rule? I wouldn’t .. Inthink its first come, first serve

[@atomicrancher3745]

I simply put their items and towel on the deck and move the chair over to where I’d like it to be. I do not understand the sense of entitlement too many people have on these ships? It’s selfish/piggy behavior. If someone ever questions me, I pretend I don’t speak or understand English and ignore them. Never be confrontational or remind them that “reserving” chairs is NOT a thing.

[@cruisecrazy7066]

Less face, more ship, pleeeeeze. I already know what you look like.

[@brianws71]

Why would not get the free at sea plus. $294 and you get twice as much value from it
