Cant wait to see pictures of the Galaxy Pavilion!!. I do have another question.... do the hallways to the cabins seem to be wider on this ship? The ones on the  Bliss were impossibly narrow!!

 

They seem to be the same.

 

The so-called bumper cars are gone from Galaxy Pavilion.  There are 6-10 large simulators that look quite cool.  We had ressies for 5pm and didn’t make it.  We probably won’t experience it until the Encore TA, but will post pictures from the Joy for those that are curious.

The two covered upper-sundeck areas (one on each side)...

 

 

This and Spice H2O perfect for us shade worshipers.

Any chance of getting photos of the splash Academy/ kid zone? 😂

Different perspective....from the bridge!

So beautiful!

Hmmm.  We’re gonna have to have a talk about Elements.

In short... it felt like one night of a traditional 7-night variety show ensemble lineup.  It’s just not what I expect for one of two headliner main-theater shows.  

 

Also, I’m thinking the suds-output may need a little fine tuning...

Wow... A-List is PERFECT on Joy, sandwiched between Cagneys and LeBistro, and a bit darker, more intimate, and just where you want to have a cocktail before dinner.  LeBistro belongs across from Cagneys.

Excellent & following along, probably going to wait till the ship make its way to NY in the near future.  Thank you !

 

Meanwhile, if & when you get a chance, photos of Teppanyaki dining if you could & scroll by ... I remember watching a video review when the Joy was still in the China market, where it was half empty with its expanded seating capacities ... just couldn't fill it out nightly with paying guests, kind of sad.  

 

I get the impression with the makeover the red theme used before are basically gone & re-imaged with a different scheme.

Seems like the entire ship has a brighter feel to it.

I don't remember there being TV screens in District Brew House on Bliss like there are now on Joy. Nice addition!

Bliss brewhouse had screen watch sports on them last year.

I assume you’re back home, right?  If you’re on the ship, I’m going to insist on a meet-up.

I thought Elements was supposed to be like a Cirque du Soleil? I am guessing not?

Loving the pacific time updates!  I must have missed how you got the invitation for this cruise.  Well deserved to be sure.  Sorry you all are not stopping in San Francisco.

That sounds like good news.  I had read that the track on Joy was smaller vs. Bliss.  I wonder if it's now the same size?

 

I answered my own question, made this after finding photos:

Only the older ships it's a last night mix of all the earlier shows.
