I’m in 14778 on NCL Joy in a few weeks and happy to see all the great comments! CDR Benson, does this balcony have room for loungers?

 

Thanks!

You can actually have 2!  This is from 14178, which is the exact cabin on other side of the ship!

Fabulous! Enjoy every single minute. Thank you for the Haven bar hours. It seems when my dh and I are headed back to our cabins, the Haven bar is never open that late LOL

Cannot wait! We love crusing!

 

 

Enjoy your cruise.

I just booked cabin 14182.

Can you tell me are all the HJs the same layout with the little seating area by the sliding doors or are some beds by the doors? Thank you so much!

Thank you!  Ours is actually a HI (penthouse)so I really don’t know about the HJs.  Though I do believe both they do have some sort of seating in that area between the bed and the windows/doors.  We snag this room because it is on an angle and the balcony is huge. 
Hope you have a great cruise!

They are the stairs and elevator that you're seeing. I'm staying in an HJ on the Joy (14180), beginning March 18th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not that I'm excited. You can follow along on my live, including room photos. Let me know if you want to know anything else and I'll look into it. 

 

 

We are going to be neighbors on the same cruise, we are in 14178!  We had this exact room last year and loved it so much we booked it again!

We have eaten at the Q on the Joy, Bliss, & Encore and enjoyed it each time. Like other have said it is not the best, but pretty good. The music is normally really good and nice to listen while enjoying your meal.  

We always get the cheers program and tip a couple of dollars per drink. 

That app menu looks good!  We were just on last month and it was not available😢. Going back next month, so will check again. 

Thank you for the review & tips!  Heading out on the Mardi Gras next month after not being on Carnival for over 5 years!

We have used eMed tests for our last 4 cruises, so fast and easy.  Highly recommended!

We had Teresa as our butler in February on the Joy and loved her!

I will very much miss the chocolate fondue for 2 which I ate all by myself at LeBistro.

That was my favorite as well!!

We must be the odd balls as we enjoy it.  I wouldn’t say that it is the best bbq we have ever had, but everything we had was very good.  We also enjoy the live music and smoked peach margaritas. The banana pudding is delicious!!  

We have also used eMed for our last 3 cruises and all of them were fast & easy. 

They were open two weeks ago on the Joy. Hubby did an hour in the Galaxy pavilion.

May I ask who the concierge was?...thanks

The concierge was Efren and our butler was Teresa. 

These were the beers on tap last week on the Joy.  They were running low on only a couple of them.  

Just off the Joy in the Haven last week. Gave our butler a little note stating some of our favorite foods, she actually brought ALL of them throughout the week!  We received: PB&J triangles, BLT’s, pretzel rolls w/queso, potato chips, peanut M&M’s, chocolate covered strawberries, chicken tenders, & chips w/guacamole & salsa!  She also spoiled us every morning with French press of coffee and assorted danish & almond croissants!  

We ended up changing out our Cagney’s reservation last week due to the Haven restaurant having the best steaks and lobster every night if you like!

No tours last week on the Joy. 

We were in the Joy Haven last week and were given a small card holder. Some people did have holes pinched into the card holder and placed them on their lanyards. 

February 19th, Joy had 1600. 

Just off the Joy on Saturday and they had paper straws throughout.

Currently on Joy in cabin 14178 which is a HI.   It takes no more than 1 minute to enter the door to the Haven Courtyard.  And there is no noise what so ever in the hallway.   We feel it is really a perfect location and the perfect cabin.  Cabin and balcony is huge (two loungers, two chairs and a table with room to spare).   We are going to definitely try to book this cabin again the next time we are on the Joy in 2024.

This is great news as I chose this room for our sailing this Saturday when you get back!  I always try to book the angled balconies and this room looked like it was perfect.  Hope you are having a great cruise!  

Looking forward to the review!  We will be getting on as you get off, also in the Haven. 

Thank you for the great review!  Can’t wait to read the rest.
