suennorm Posted September 20, 2021 #1 Share Posted September 20, 2021 I have sailed on many of the NCL ships, but never the Joy; the largest one I have been on is the Breakaway and it was "okay" but not my favorite. I prefer the smaller ships but sometimes the Joy is the only one sailing to my preferred destination. Looking for advice--thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ColeThornton Posted September 20, 2021 #2 Share Posted September 20, 2021 You may want to be a bit more specific on what it is you want to know about the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suennorm Posted September 20, 2021 Author #3 Share Posted September 20, 2021 For those who have sailed on it, does it feel crowded? Are there long waits for elevators? Is it easy to navigate? The Breakaway is a large ship but lounge areas were small, certain venues were literally on top of one another, Atrium area was often crowded. Stateroom/bath was very nice however, and outdoor areas were okay. I have been spoiled by The Great Outdoors on the Gem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BirdTravels Posted September 20, 2021 #4 Share Posted September 20, 2021 The Breakaway class ships are similar. The Joy is a Breakaway Plus, so there are a few more restaurants/bars. There are a few pictures and information on the Joy from our pre-pandemic live post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I recall, elevator wait times were shorter on the Joy than on any of my other breakaway/+ sailings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My NCL travel agent told me that the December 2021 Joy sailing will be at 60% passenger capacity. Hopefully, the ship will not feel as crowded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
