Joy vs. Encore

[cruisekitty22]

We are considering a cruise on the Joy.  We have been on the Encore.  Are these sister ships?  Pros and cons of Joy?  The price is cheaper for the Joy if that matters. We loved the Encore!

Nearly identical except for some restaurants.  The Joy has Spice H20 where the Encore has the laser tag.  Encore's Vibe is larger as a result since the laser tag space from the Joy and Bliss was reallocated to the Vibe on Encore.

I forgot one other item - the Joy doesn't have the thermal suite as it was originally designed for the Asia market where such a venue was not desired.
