Today was a
travel day at sea in-route to our first stop at Cabo San Lucas.
We spent the
day exploring the ship and all the different things there are to do. The ship is large. There are almost 3100 passengers and a crew
of over 1000. The ship, the Norwegian
Joy, was built in 2015 and was upgraded in October 2019. The accommodations are first class and
everything is virtually new. Our room is
a mini suite, with about 500 square ft with a balcony. It has a king size bed, closet, drawers and a
sofa. There is also satellite TV with a
wide range of program selections.There are also a lot of food options. The cafeteria is very large, has an extensive variety of breakfast, lunch and dinner options. It is the main focal point for casual dining and the food is served cafeteria style. There are also four complimentary sit-down/served restaurants and seven specialty restaurants that require an extra charge. Our tour package includes meals at 5 of these restaurants. Our package also includes unlimited drinks including, beer, wine, and soft drinks.
There are also almost continuous activity and entertainment options available for passengers. Shore excursions are also offered at each port. Entertainment options range from Broadway shows, lounge bands, comedians, piano bar entertainment, game shows with audience participation, etc. There is also a large pool with water slides and associated amenities.
The ship is equipped with a significant amount of youth activity options including a world class arcade, a min-car racetrack and a laser tag maze. Since there are not many kids/teens on this trip these things are getting minimal action from the old people on-board.
The passengers on the trip are mostly seniors and middle aged couples. We have seen very few children and young couples. I’d say about half the passengers are U.S. citizens, about 1/3 of the rest Canadians and the remainder Europeans/Asians.
We had dinner again in the cafeteria and continued getting settled in.
