Everything.. Norwegian JOY! Delivery spring 2017

[Two Wheels Only]

Why is it in English and not Chinese?

Because Chinese isn't a language. ;p

It should be Mandarin

[sjnyc323]

Maybe there are two? Good question.

 

There is English elsewhere...

The English is for the crew that don't speak Mandarin

Not exactly true. You don't write in Mandarin, you either write in traditional or simplified Chinese. You speak Mandarin or Cantonese or whatever, but depending on the geographic location, you can speak either Mandarin, Cantonese or whatever else but still write in the same form of Chinese.

For a very brief stop, under 2 hours?

[FreestyleNovice]

Joy is a few hours away from the entrance to the Suez canal.

[FreestyleNovice]

I really like her looks! :D

Not sure if this was posted previously, but shows some interesting shots of the build, including the go kart track toward the end:

I really like how the Joy is turning out, but that new oval shaped atrium looks so much smaller than the ones in other Breakaway ships.

I notice now there are a few Joy cruises that can be booked on ncl.com

Interesting article on the Joy that DougOut posted for us. Do you think NCL might rethink where they send the ship after Bliss??

[FreestyleNovice]

They might reconsider BA+ #4.

 

With the 20% premium on Joy (as per FDR) she still can sail at 80% to have a 100% Western revenue so she has to be really really low on bookings if they pull her out. Not considering the purpose built redo that has to be done in some extent..

Switching the second Genting/Dream Cruise ship, currently under construction, to NCL might cost less but would be too premature.

I'm not sure how I would feel about that. If I had some more info on Project Leonardo (ship features, where it's going, when, etc.), it would help.

Ditto. But keep in mind that BA+ #4 is scheduled for fall 2019 and the first Leonardo class for somewhere in 2022, it's going to be some looong years after Bliss is in operation. :)

Joy is calling at Salalah, Oman after I assume a safe passage through the Gulf of Aden (Yemen).

[JohnIreland]

Booking are very poor on the Genting Dream as well. Looks like China is not going to be the cash cow the cruise lines expected.

My apologies if this has already been put on here but here is a great preview video compliments of Popular Cruising.

That's a great video! Thanks for posting it. I really hope they have the "Finger Coaster" on the Bliss, that looks so cool.

I wonder if there was any extra security when transiting the Gulf of Aden.

Navy Seals were onboard as per some crew friends working onboard

Just left NCL Joy - Germany to Oman - not Navy Seals from what I saw.

How far is she finished? And any clue on next ports? There seems be a lot of time between a possible early arrival and her first cruises?

 

Sorry for all the questions.. :D
