NCL Joy - Will There be an Entourage Area After Refurbishment?

[sportsduck]

Hi,

 

We have a trip planned to go on the NCL Joy with our two kids (15, 14) later in 2024. We found out that the Galaxy Pavilion is being removed as part of the refurbishment but since the Entourage area was next to the Galaxy Pavilion, is that going away as well or being moved elsewhere? I can't imagine having a bunch of teenagers next to a new Spa area. Also is the arcade going away as well or just the virtual reality games? Losing the Laser Tag area isn't an issue for us, but if there are no activities for the teens besides the Go Karts and a couple of water slides, we may need to look elsewhere.

 

Thank you for your help.

Hopefully this will help.

Entourage will still be on deck 16, it is moving from the starboard side to the port side and the video arcade  will be next to Entourage 

 

the entrance to the terminal suite area will be on starboard side next to the beauty salon area

 

this is based on the new decks posted on the link above

The Entourage area on the Joy was quite small since it was an afterthought added when it left the Asian market.  They most likely will still have the programming, but will run it like they do on the Prima - using different locations throughout the ship vs. a dedicated space.
