I told everyone we should've ordered Manhattans (since we were leaving from Manhattan). I saw folks ordering them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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). Thanks, that is the same category (HI) we will be in later this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Sailing12Away Posted September 7, 2022 Author #34 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Day 1 random thoughts American Diner – food was overall just ok. I had the mozzarella sticks for an app and the shrimp & grits for my meal. I don’t eat seafood, so they easily swapped out the shrimp for a double portion of the andouille sausage. The mozzarella sticks were extra gooey and the cheese would just run right out of them when you cut into them. They weren’t bad, but just seemed to be lacking some seasoning in the breading. The grits were good, sausage was by far the best part of the meal. Extra kick to it, so nice and spicy how I like it. The milkshakes were an extra charge, $12 after tax and such for 2 milkshakes. I had the chocolate, hubby had the banana. Again, they were ok, if I wanted one again I would ask for it without the whipped cream. Toward the end it was just cream and no shake. So overall, just ok, but since it was free for Haven guests (minus the shakes) it was fine for us. If we had wasted a dining credit on it I would have been disappointed. Outside was drizzly and overcast all day, so watching sailaway from the observation lounge was a bit of a let down. We saw Ellis Island, the statue of liberty, and passed under the Verrazzano, but we’ll have to try our luck on another sailing out of NY for better pictures and views. My folks who are traveling with us in a family club balcony room decided to head to the Local for some early dinner before we went to the Beatles show in the main theatre. We were still stuffed from lunch and the snacks in our room, so we opted for some drinks at the Haven bar and then went to the theater. We’ve got 3 bartenders in the Haven right now, Christian, Edgar, and Armand. They all have their own takes on drinks which makes it fun for us – we like to just say ‘make me something with Frangelico’ and let them have fun. The Beatles show was ok, if you’ve seen one on an NCL ship you’ve essentially seen them all. But for fans of that type of music it was a good outing. We headed back to the Haven bar after the show and stayed there until closing just experimenting with different cocktails. Random facts about the Joy right now – sailing is at about 75% capacity according to staff with ~2,900 guests on board. And the doors of the cabins are not magnetic. The walls right next to them are, but not the doors themselves. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main shows for Footloose were offered on the first and second sea day (tonight & tomorrow) at 6:30 and 9pm I think (the 2nd show is no longer showing in my account as an option in the app). Elements is offered on the last 2 nights of the cruise at 7pm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cilosgirl Posted September 7, 2022 #36 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Enjoy your cruise! I’ll be doing the same itinerary on the 23rd so I am looking forward to your updates. I’m currently booked in a balcony but I have bid in for the Haven, fingers crossed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Sailing12Away Posted September 7, 2022 Author #39 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Breakfast in our room is one of our favorite perks. The butler told me they had no hash browns. I call BS... Will attempt to get my fried potato fix tomorrow I suppose. For such a large room our table is pretty tiny. First world problems. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Elements is only being shown 1 time each night at 7pm on the last two nights? There isn't a second show? We have specialty dining reservations both nights at 7 so would need to change one of them to make the show if they are only doing one show each night. Thanks again!
