Live from NCL Joy 6/12

[CrazyTrain2]

Are the production shows listed in the Dailies?

 

If the shows get cancelled, I have to reenact the shows personally in the room cabin.  I can hold my own doing footloose (self-assessment) but I am well past my acrobatics period.

Don't forget to record yourself...for video graphic proof, of course.  😁

It's a private showing.  NCL is considering adding it to "Free at Sea" promotion.

Played 27 holes of golf today.  Ok it was mini golf.  But 18 was at a fabulous course modeled after famous golf holes around the world.  
Now it’s delightful in Vibe

That was a nice mini golf course. We played it at night right before the sunset and had great views of the sunset.

I’m back on the Joy!!  Had a blast on her in February and missed our Escape cruise in. April.  Got a deal from Bally’s for an inside and used the FCC to upgrade and here I am.  I’m not in the Haven this time but trying that Haven lite life.   I’m with my 19 year old so we nabbed vibe passes and I upgraded the beverages since I only had to pay for myself!  
I posted a detailed embarkation day on my blog at Alpacamybagsblog dot com.  There were some glitchy things at port.  Seemed lots of confusion about priority embarkation for platinum and higher and casinos at sea.  
Dinner was lovely at Le Bistro.  I finally found a great dessert on the new menu!! Waiting for trivia right now but not going into Norfolk today so I’ll check in later!

I know exactly where you are.  The Vibe Beach Club.  Please say hello to the crew there from Gary.  They did an outstanding job and I miss that time very much.

 

Cruise well.

Hope there’s less covid onboard than my 5/29 sailing…fortunately I didn’t have any symptoms until I got home!  That’s good that Footloose is playing.  It only played on the final sea day that week.  So not much opportunity to see it and it sold out quickly.  Is the app still terribly glitchy?  It barely worked onboard.  All restaurants indicated fully booked but could easily be booked at a host stand.  Areas for improvement to be sure.

It is at the Dockyard right next to Snorkel Park

Tried to get a Boulevardier last night at A list bar.  Although they had all the ingredients to make one I was told they can only make what is on the menu.  Disappointing especially with premium plus.  Bartender sent me to the District saying it was on menu there which it is not.  I decided to try Maltings and no problem. 

[rxlowry]

Lovely dinner last night at la Cucina. We dined outside and even though it rained it was well protected.  
Returned to Maltings and tried Macallan Quest.  I’m not a scotch person but I really enjoyed it.

Curious how many people they are saying are on board?  

[rxlowry]

The Goslings Rum cruise was great!  Learned about rum, drank some and enjoyed the sunset 

[rxlowry]

After 13 or so visits to Bermuda, I finally visited the National Museum.  Very nice with great views 

[CrazyTrain2]

How has the weather/waves/temps/wind been for your at sea days?

 

127 days before I hit the open seas......

The weather has been windy and mostly sunny.  Had one night of rain.  Seas were calmer heading to Bermuda but some swells yesterday and today.  The bags were out last night in the stairwells.

I had a great chat with the head mixologist on board.  I had left a note in the managers mailbox about the a-list.  Glen called me and wanted to meet up.  Later, he spotted us walking on the deck and I told him it wasn’t necessary to meet up later but he insisted.  We had a great chat about cruising and cocktails.  If you have any issues, definitely let them know.  I told him I think it’s better than just posting about it after a cruise.  Give NCL the feedback as soon as you can if something comes up. 

[rxlowry]

Dinner last night was the second half of Food Republic…so four more dishes.  

[rxlowry]

The adult comedy last night was much better.  We both laughed a bunch.  The comedian was Larry Omaha. Afterwards we hit the Glow Party at Spice to dance off some calories.  
Now, off to enjoy my last day!!!

A Shorex crew member told us on Day 1 "about 2500" During a speech later that day in the Theater the Cruise Director said "...a little less than 3000"
