When you book your spa service make sure you can use the “coupon” on the service you want. I found out after the fact that a plain mani/pedi didn’t apply.

Hope to be on the Getaway soon. Is there a microwave in the Buffet for public use? (Need to heat up a compress or find an alternate treatment.) Thanks!

Hi. I’ve used the Joy’s Waterfront deck many times for my walks; it’s broken up with the restaurant and bar partitions, but that keeps everyone paying attention. The other nice, truly indoor place to walk is the Observation Lounge. Early and late it is less active and when the weather is especially windy it beats the Waterfront.

We have avoided Cagneys for years - I can do better steak at home - it’s not “specialty” at all. We have made Ocean Blue our first and last night go to dinner and have rarely been disappointed. The scallops w/pork belly appetizer has been excellent and dh loves the blazing shrimp app. We generally do grilled fish. Dh loves the mousse cake and I think the basil sorbet is special. Le Bistro has been on the up-swing. We tried the crab wrapped in smoked salmon appetizer and it is lovely. The lamb chops are wonderful as is the coq au vin and the sea bass. And lastly we enjoy La Cucina. I know many people have problems with it but we never have. I enjoy the grilled salmon w/white beans (and I’m specific with temp i want it cooked to) and the red snapper or chicken cacciatore are good; and the Osso Bucco may be one of best entrees on board.

Sadly no vegan “ice cream” yet, but the sorbets in all the restaurants and the buffet are a sweet, cold treat. The basil sorbet in Ocean Blue (Getaway) was fabulous!

Can I use the Inspire Antigen test taken 2 days before our 5/8 cruise for my Bermuda TA Form test?

I’m assuming with COVID health changes the Haven on the Joy (sailing 5/8) will NOT have the Pillow Menu available. Anyone know for sure?

Does anyone know the cost of a non-alcoholic cocktail from the bars? DH and I will be on the Joy in a couple of weeks and I am a recent No Alcohol cruiser. Thanks! 😀

On the Feb 27th Getaway out of NYC Thermal Suite pass was $199 for the week. I don’t know if they sold one-day passes, but given how empty the ship was it wouldn’t surprise me.
