  1. i book all of my cruises with my first and last name. when i get onboard the ship i noticed they automatically add my middle name to my onboard account since that's the name that is on my passport. Will i have a problem on my next NCL cruise because they will want a credit card that has my middle name on it? my credit card only has first and last name.
  2. i just got off the Oasis which is Allure sister ship, laser tag is in studio b
  3. the actual reason for the late departure is because the prima had to leave the terminal first and then the joy pulled in to begin boarding for that cruise the ship repositioning had no real effect, it was a berth availability issue
  4. you need to pack and bring your own snacks or buy in port. ship does not provide you can go to the buffet onboard the ship to refill the water bottle, use a clean glass for the refill
  5. carnival handled the ship switch horrible. cabins were unassigned for many weeks and at the same time taking new bookings. they should of never taken new booking until after the cabins were assigned. for me, i had to wait about a month to get my cabin assignment
  6. this seems like a cast change is taking place that week and they need more time to practice the shows onboard the ship. it can be different doing the show rehearsals in the studio on land vs onboard the ship
  7. not unique to the Joy, in October the Norwegian Escape will be doing the Bermuda cruises out of NYC with a 6pm departure time.. the departure time changed when they removed Norfolk, VA from the itinerary
  8. I am on the 6/15 inaugural sailing. i was originally booked on the magic in a 1A porthole cabin that had a small view of the ocean. When the ship switch happen, i was downgraded to a basic interior cabin with no windows at all. Carnival says this is an upgrade since i went from 1A to like 4B category To me going to a room with no window or view is a massive downgrade
  9. I got off the Oasis of the seas which docks in New Jersey. Friday night and all day Saturday there is was lots of fog and the ship blasting the fog horn. Most likely the Joy had the same issue with the fog and had to reduce speed making the ship late
  10. goood news, Florida DOT is in the process of replacing that bridge with a new taller bridge that does not need to open. still a long way for it to happen but it is in planning stage
  11. it is on the NCL website: https://www.ncl.com/freestyle-cruise/cruise-travel-documents scroll down to see the visa requirement
  12. You still need the seapass for everything from going on/off the ship to make everyday purchases on board
  13. Yes. Ship always sails empty between flordia and New York Boarding and check in is the usual time like at around 930/10 checkin and around 11/1130 boarding
  14. Yes. I done it before. One night I used the dinning package and the other night I used the platinum coupon. Make sure you tell the waiter which once you want to use so they can put it in the computer system correctly
  15. In the theather there is usually a row of seats reserved for people with the key.
  16. Depending on the ship, you can not punch a hole in the card due to the card being contactless. A hole will cause damage to the card making it not work
  17. Ignore the price on the menu. The package gives you app, entree, sides and dessert
  18. Currently on the oasis, the aqua theater is empty all cruise when there is no shows there. Captain q and a will be in there for this cruise
  19. A bigger issue I think is can the port handle an icon class ship? As is with 3 ships sailing, parking can be rough with overflow lots and lack of garage parking Traffic is another big issue with getting to the port. It took me about 45 minutes of sitting in traffic on the the one and only one road to the terminal
  20. for which month? i see January, February, March and December 2024 on the website. ship is breakaway
  21. should be arriving close to schedule like around the usually 6-7am
  22. yes it is normal. if there is any last minute cancellations that opens a cabin, that cabin can be used for royalup
  23. supply and demand, the greater the demand the higher the prices go up
