Want to try a game of chance? The Joy casino is the place to visit.

Contrary to other reports, the gift shop stocks a small amount of sundries. For this particular itinerary, the shops close on Tuesday night and do not reopen until Friday afternoon.

Need some mommy and daddy time without the kiddos? Register the kids at the Splash Academy on embarkation day and have them attend on the first night to make friends. Teens have their own space in the Entourage, hidden in the back of the arcade (I suppose you’ll need to buy an arcade pass). They are using the Virtual Queue on the NCL app to check in your kids. So watch the times carefully and hop in the queue as soon as it opens. The 4382 passengers this week includes 500 young cruisers.

Time to burn off some calories from the buffet. The Pulse Gym has it all for you.

So, for future cruisers on the Joy who want accurate information, versus old, outdated memories of long gone days, the table outside The Social will sell you drink packages, upgrades to P+ and tasting events.

Like I said, it has been very popular on sea days with people enjoying themselves… unlike others. I don’t need to pay $20 a round like on the Prima and Viva for a spooky clown.

It’s a Mother’s Day cruise, so all moms deserve a spa day to go and be pampered. The spa is featuring their IV therapy. While I am o.k. With them rubbing my tired feet, I am not sure that I am ready to allow them to inject me with their magic potions.

Canvas by U is a favorite Bird activity. In less than an hour, the cruise staff take you step-by-step through the process of creating a masterpiece ready for the Park West art auction.

Do you feel the need for speed? The Joy Speedway was the first. Newer ships have bigger and faster tracks. The Joy tests your driving skills to maneuver and pass on narrow, winding roads. They run double cars for the smallest drivers and single cars for the true racers.

Tee times not required. The Joy mini putt putt golf course is open. Located behind the speedway on Deck 19, you can play a round of 9 holes. The course is very popular on sea days (like today).
