kayjaypea42 Posted October 26, 2019 #1 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Hi all! I will be going on one of these ships in 2021 for my mother's 60th birthday. I've been doing some preliminary research, but I'm having a hard time figuring out what the main differences are. They seem like they're as similar as Getaway to Breakaway, and those two seem identical to me, just with different shows. Am I right? If not, what's the main differences between the two? And will one have gone through dry-dock by 2021? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallnthensome Posted October 26, 2019 #2 Share Posted October 26, 2019 (edited) No Thermal spa on the Joy which is a huge deal breaker for many. No dry dock for either .... Joy was freshened up coming back from Asia. Edited October 26, 2019 by tallnthensome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like an Alaska cruise,,, if so, pick one that goes to Glacier Bay. The Bliss was launched in 2018, so it is new and won't be doing a dry dock before your cruise. The Joy was launched in 2017, but just came out of a major dry dock in 2019 and won't be going through another before your cruise. The links below provide my live posts from the Bliss in 2018 and Joy in 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastcat Posted October 26, 2019 #4 Share Posted October 26, 2019 On Bliss but not Joy: Thermal Spa Margaritavilla (flat rate specialty restaurant) Los Lobos (a la carte specialty restaurant) Coco's (desserts, a la carte) Studio cabins/Studio Lounge Current shows: Jersey Boys and Six On Joy but not Bliss: Galaxy Pavilion (virtual reality games) American Diner (a la carte specialty restaurant) A second Starbucks Pool-sized hot tub in Spice H2O Concierge cabins Current shows: Footloose and Elements I think those are the major differences although there are probably more. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
