Join us as we review Norwegian Joy after sailing the same 10-day Alaska itinerary twice in just two months! In true This Cruise Life fashion, we break down everything we LOVED, DIDN’T LOVE, and HATED about Norwegian Cruise Line’s Norwegian Joy. This review focuses specifically on Norwegian Joy’s Alaska sailings from Seattle — including Glacier Bay-style scenic cruising, long port days, cold weather operations, and what it’s like sailing this ship in Alaska. If you’re researching Norwegian Joy for an Alaska cruise, this video is for you! Keep in mind that some experiences on Norwegian Joy can be very different in the Caribbean, especially when it comes to outdoor deck spaces, activities, and crowds. We cover: * Norwegian Joy food review * Best included dining on Norwegian Joy * Main dining room, buffet, The Local, and American Diner * Norwegian Joy specialty dining including La Cucina, Le Bistro, and Cagney’s * Alaska cruise drink tips and Free at Sea perks * Norwegian Joy entertainment, shows, music, and nightlife * The current replacement for Elements on Norwegian Joy * What it’s like sailing Norwegian Joy in Alaska * Norwegian Joy spa, design, and cabin impressions * Alaska cruise embarkation and debarkation tips * Why we think a 10-day Alaska cruise is worth it * The things we didn’t love and the few things we hated On the positive side, we absolutely loved the food, the incredibly friendly crew, the entertainment, the smooth embarkation process, and how well Norwegian Joy handled Alaska. We share our favorite meals, our favorite crew members, the best places to eat, and the onboard experiences we think are truly worth your time. We also talk honestly about a few things that didn’t work for us, including some design choices, a few frustrating onboard quirks, and one change Norwegian Cruise Line has made that longtime NCL cruisers may not love. If you’re planning an Alaska cruise on Norwegian Joy, Norwegian Encore, Norwegian Bliss, or another Norwegian Cruise Line ship, we hope this review helps you decide if this ship is right for you.
