Boarding Norwegian Joy in New York City! Embarkation & First Sea Day

Welcome back to Mer Cruises Solo! This time, I am NOT solo! I brought my mom with me on this cruise, and we are boarding the incredible NCL Joy in Manhattan, heading to spend three days in Bermuda! This is my 5th time on the Joy, and we are excited to see what, if anything, has changed since it's dry dock refurbishment back in January of this year (2024). We board and spend some time relaxing in the adults only area, Spice H2O and then catch the incredible New York City sailaway! In this video, you'll see embarkation day, our dinner at Manhattan Room and our first day at sea! I take you on a mini tour of the brand new Spa Thermal Suite and the Observation Lounge. I just love this ship! Hope you enjoy watching, leave a comment if you have any questions about the Joy!

Great video

[@chrishiggs7351]

Great video and thanks for sharing. Sailing out of NYC must be really nice. I lived there and saw the ships leaving all the time.

That's funny how we all have different preferences. I prefer the couch on the balcony side so I can look out while drinking coffee in the am (if it's too cold/rainy to sit on the balcony).

I love NCL I have been on at least 17 times. I have been on the joy 3 times and it is backwards compared to the Breakaway class ships. I love the Escape and the Breakaway. I have many bartender friends that remember me and are friends with on Facebook. I will be back on the joy in August for a 10 day from NY.Thanks for the update on the Joy 💎

A cruise with your mom. Cherished times.

Another fabulous, fun, fact packed vlog (try saying that after a few cocktails!).

[@gamermonster5]

I lived on that ship for over a year. I miss it.

[@user-ow1xo1fx8o]
