We just got off of the Getaway a couple days ago out of Canaveral. We booked ahead and picked our room at that time so we had that set up and they gave us a boarding time of 1pm if I remember right. Things may be different if you book closer to sailing I guess.

Wife and I were on the NCL Joy in Feb 2022. The Joy is a beautiful ship. The forward observation lounge was prime sale-away real estate since it was slightly raining when the ship left port. Wife and I grabbed 2 chaise lounges and watched the sail-away in style. We met the best bar waiter in the entire fleet. Her name is May De Los Santos and she's from the phillipines. She worked the Atrium and always had a smile and a kind word for everyone. What a great personality. I wonder if she's still there.....

When you do the check-in online, you see that the boarding times are staggered. You can select your preferred time slot and from there on is is pretty smooth. Debarkation is a hit-or-miss depending upon clearance and the Customs and Border Patrol. I love the NCL Joy and my favorite of all times the NCL Bliss. There is so much to do. The staff is great.!

Please talk more about the night life! I am debating whether to book Carnival, or Norwegian out of NYC For my 25th birthday. I know carnival is more of a “party ship” but Norwegian is more economical for me since the drinks are included. Norwegian looks like it may be an older, less “urban” crowd. Is that the case?

I’ve been on the NCL Joy twice. Thankfully, it was when they were sailing at lower capacity due to covid. -- (I am not a fan of the Mega-ships! Just too many people. I always cruise NCL’s smaller ships, especially the Gem.) -- Happily, I was in the Haven both times….(so I avoided the massive lines and wait time.) And the Haven on the Joy is AMAZING!! I spent most of my time there. Since it was built for the Asian market, I did miss having the Thermal Suite onboard…(I still don’t know why they omit the Thermal Suite for the Asian market. Asian countries have their onsens, steam rooms, saunas and bath houses, so a Thermal Suite would make sense. But I’m not Frank Del Rio making those decisions!) AND….Why? Why does NCL have venues like the Comedy Club (and others) that seat maybe 100 people on a ship that holds 4000 people??? Doesn’t make sense. It’s downright idiotic! As for your pre-boarding woes….I have never had that problem with NCL even when I have bid for an upgrade. Once I was not notified until the day before, but I never had to show up at the terminal not knowing. How frustrating.

@JTHENOMAD if you wait too late it won't work. You're basically locked out of the app starting 48 hours in advance so everything has to be done before then, including online check-in, which is where you would choose an arrival time at the terminal. If you chose a sailaway or guarantee cabin, it can be up until arrival at the terminal before your cabin # is assigned, but usually it shows up in the app before then!
@brianmcintyre6746

Also, you can book shows on boarding day, they usually have a location set up with employees that will assist and then you don't have to use the boards around the ship or the app. Even with a line, it has always gone quick for us. We usually book all entertainment that way and make adjustments to specialty dining.
