NCL Joy Canada & New England 9/6/22

[Sailing12Away]

Just got on board, let the fun begin @SalthMate! I'll try to post updates as we go for as long as my free internet minutes last.

 

Check in took about 20-30 minutes, lots more walking than standing around. They're a separate line for Haven as soon as you get in, actual desk where you get your card is all the way down on the left.

 

Rainy day here in NY, lots of fog that I'm hoping clears up before we sail away.

 

Haven bartenders are Edgar & Christian, they were out first stop on board. Then lunch at American diner because it's free for Haven guests. It was ok...

 

Looking forward to 10 days!

While you're enjoying your cruise, please let us know what the current deal is with Latitude Perks being offered, if any. I'm checking for my roll call group; we're on the cruise after you. Are you at full capacity?

Here's to great weather and a smooth ride during your time on the JOY!

[HBCcruiser]

Enjoy your cruise! Thanks for letting us follow along. Hey, can you help check on a  gift I bought for the birthday boy? It was supposed to be delivered today. It's bought and paid for, you'll enjoy it and it should be kept cold. Perhaps they left it in his fridge or have not brought it to him yet? Would the Concierge know? Thanks for helping out and doing this review! 

[ChiefMateJRK]

I'll be following along.  Please extend a happy birthday to birthday boy for me as well!

[shof515]

Following along. Doing the same itinerary in October 

[Sailing12Away]

No behind the scenes tour.

Y'all enjoy and tell the birthday boy to have a great trip too!  There is a thread on here about platinum dinners, you may want to check it out:

@Sailing12Away The birthday boy got his bubbly gift! You may want to grab a glass from him. 🍾🥂 Have a great sail away!

Nice post Sailing12Away (Kyle). Lots of food porn. Don't forget to post your pic on our 🐀 Pack Forum also. I see you "pulled the trigger" on a milkshake at the American Diner. Nice!

Who are you asking? If me, I'm in 14326 (Haven Penthouse. Suite). It's not on the Haven Courtyard, so it's bigger (balcony is bigger also).

🐀🐀🐀's??  Yikes!! 

[ChiefMateJRK]

Back on topic....  I'm really looking forward to your reports.  I have this same itinerary in my future. 😎

[Sailing12Away]

We're in 15140, room is huge.

 

[HBCcruiser]

You need to order one of these!

Smokey Old Fashioned from the Haven bar!

SWEET suite! 

[PhillyTravelBug]

Following along! I have been wanting to do the Canadian/ New England cruise forever. Especially since NYC is only 90 minutes away.

 

Your room is gorgeous! Love the photos. Enjoy the cruise!

Nice!  Let us know if you get much noise from deck 16 in your room.  We are in 15150 later this year.

Anyone on the ship really.  Unsure where 14326 is located, as I thought the portside cabins are 14136 to 14322?  Are you possibly in 14136 (HI cabin)?

[ChiefMateJRK]

Wow!  That room is bigger than my apartment!! (okay, I really can't back that up)

 

I would likely screw up all those shower dispensers.  My inside cabins usually have one for body and one for hair.  I've likely even mixed those up before (I blame the alcohol).  🤣

 

Have fun and keep us posted!!

Woops, yes you're right. I'm in 14136. One too many Blue Moons (already). This Haven Penthouse Suite is all the way fwd, port side. Not quite as big as Sailing12Away's Haven Family Villa Suite and she has a full length couch whereas I only have a loveseat (that pulls out to a single bed).
