Welcome to "LIVE" from Norwegian Joy Hello everyone, and good day. The Sea is Calling. Tomorrow I will be driving up to Elizabeth, NJ for a pre-cruise hotel stay. The next morning (Sunday) I will head to Manhattan Cruise Terminal (711 12th Ave, NYC.) to board Norwegian Joy. The last time I sailed with Norwegian was in 2016 (Norwegian Escape from Miami). Norwegian Joy was the first Breakaway Plus class ship built for the Asian market in 2017. It didn’t last long though, as she was redeployed to North America after an extensive refurbishment (USD 50m) to redesign her public spaces in 2019. We will be sailing to one of my favorite ports of call, Bermuda, where we will be docked at Heritage Wharf Pier at the Royal Naval Dockyard. I haven’t been to Bermuda in a few years and can’t wait to return. The forecast for next week should be mostly sunny and clear with temps in the mid-70s (f). Norwegian Joy recently completed a 3-week drydock in January 2024 to expand the Vibe area (where the Laser Tag area used to be on Deck 20), and the Expanded Thermal Suite was added (Where the Galaxy Pavilion was on Deck 16.) I have been following many reports that have suggested that the new StarLink Wi-Fi (Added in Jan 2024) has been touch and go, but I will be putting it to the test for a few days. You will be viewing the ship through my eyes, and I will provide you with my thoughts onboard. Some friends and family will be joining me on this cruise, and it should be a lot of fun. I look forward to entering The Passenger Terminal at Pier 88 on Sunday just before boarding Norwegian Joy. There will be much more coming in just a few days . . . Thanks for tuning in.

My Cabin D624 (Standard Balcony CAT BB) Portside MID AFT Radio The storage area was very spacious There is no sofa in a STD Balcony Cabin The bed was very comfortable The desk area is a perfect place for the "Radio Press Room" The US and EU plugs were on each side of the desk. The phone was handy for getting messages from Guest Services 5 drawers were available for electronic storage of socks/undershirts The Table behind the desk had a mini fridge underneath This cabin was a great size for me I wish the shower had glass doors There was plenty of room for me, even at 6'3" Lotion and Bodywash were very nice The water pressure was fantastic Even the shower has body wash and shampoo There was no obstruction when you looked out The only partial obstruction was if you looked down 2 chairs and a table were on the balcony .

Passengers like the view from the Aft Balcony, but it may be too long of a walk to your cabin from the elevator for some. I had a portside balcony near the AFT elevators on Dolphin Deck 9. Radio
