Sun is finally out! Blue skies over Blue waters! Took the NCL ferry to St George’s. Wahoo’s Bar and Patio is the place to go 👍🏼👍🏼 Time for a Swizzle or three 🤙🏼😎🤙🏼

Pouring rain again…. Oh well 🫤 We came prepared with ponchos and umbrellas. The NCL ferry is still running so maybe we’ll go for a ride and wait for the clouds to clear.

All is well in Bermuda 😎 One small rain squall at sea and another today on Island. The Ship is really amazing! We have seen every square inch of her interior, except the Haven and Vibe. Our room attendant makes up our room twice a day… We are never there so I’ve only met him once. The family suite location is perfect! I do miss having a balcony but our room is absolutely silent all night!! Joana in the Observation lounge is far and away our favorite person on the Joy! She is soo attentive, happy, and enthusiastic… love her 🤟🏼 We did receive the complimentary treats and cookies delivered to our room 😁 I’ve called the concierge “Patrick” a couple times, for a few different things, and he has been great as well. Got us in a sold out specialty dinner and the 18+ comedy show. As for negative comments posted by others… I don’t take that road. Although everything is not “perfect” My family and I feel blessed that we have worked hard and made it possible for us to be on this cruise and endulge in the ridiculous excess of this experience. There are soo many people that will never have the means to enjoy something like this with their families so we say thanks you and “Don’t worry be happy” 🤗

Later dudes! 😉

Didn’t realize that our interior Family suite came with these perks until receiving the “Priority” baggage tags in the mail. Our Key cards say “VIP” next to the A7 muster station.

Found my first Duckie!! 😁

“All rooms ready” called over the PA at 3:50pm.

A special thanks to @Dorhead1230 for all of the info in her recent thread. And…. I snuck in the room 😜

Our suite has been completely cleaned and set-up as of 1:00pm. Luggage has not arrived yet though. IMG_5610.mov

Soo…. I’m the first passenger in the Observation Lounge!! 😅 I will check on the room soon. We are in a Family Suite midship on deck 11. Priority boarding and concierge butler service was a surprise bonus after booking.

Sitting in the Priority boarding area at Manhattan cruise terminal. 😁 First time cruising in over 10yrs!! I’m hoping to add to this thread during the cruise.
