living at the beach Posted July 25, 2023 #101 Share Posted July 25, 2023 This is a question about a previous post, but I couldn’t find a way to get there. In regards to the Dockyards mini bus, where do you go to get it? I never knew about it in the past and therefore used to take the regular bus that let me out at the top of the hill. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks The mini-buses stage with the taxis right on the main turn around in the center of the pier. Just ask if they bring you right down to the beach before getting in 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree. Never had a problem getting a spot, pre-covid, during covid, and post-covid. Wonder if this reservation system will now upset my perfect record of no issues for mid-morning (10am) arrivals. Regardless, the seeds of doubt have been planted....gonna reserve... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umpisoccer Posted July 25, 2023 #105 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Does anyone have the most recent daily schedules for the Joy?

T BYRD Posted July 25, 2023 Author #107 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I didn’t see them… Also, our Elements show got cancelled due to a cast member’s injury. They had a magician instead and he was pretty amazing 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Table service was what I consider normal… drinks in 5 minutes… apps in 20…. Entrees in 30-40. Julia came out onto the stage at 6:10. We stayed for the whole set which ended @ 7:15. Thank you!

T BYRD Posted July 26, 2023 Author #112 Share Posted July 26, 2023 We were in an Interior family suite. Yellow was the first color called after the self disembarking passengers. I believe that happened at 8:45am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just check with the concierge desk and let them know you want to be off in the first group. They will escort you down in the elevator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy walk off is first, never used any tags.... maybe we were supposed to. If you are in the Haven you can go to the Haven lounge at the set time, you will get a letter. It will also be posted at the concierge desk the day before. Just keep in mind you need to take all your luggage with you. You can use the gold tags and do easy walk off but you will be waiting for your luggage. Don't ask me how I know Lol Edited July 26, 2023 by Laszlo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T BYRD Posted July 26, 2023 Author #115 Share Posted July 26, 2023 As Interior Family Suite guests, we received some of the haven perks. “Priority embarkation/disembarkation”Upon entering Pier 88 All guests must go through the same first security check point, then we were greeted to separate check-in lines and a roped off pre-board seating area. Then two hours later…. After those needing assistance, and the upper tier latitude members, we were called to board. Kinda sweet 😁 For disembarkation, we received Yellow luggage tags in our room the day before with instructions to leave our bags outside the door that night and we would be the first group called (8:45am) to get off the ship the next morning as our bags would be the first ones available in the claim area. We chose “Self disembarkation” instead and were instructed to be in line down on deck 7 by 8:00am. We got down to the Local Cafe early, had maybe 30-40 guests in front of us, and were off the ship (through to theatre) in no time. Easy peasy 👍 I’ll definitely do that again!! It was relatively quick and zero stress. Now… If I wanted to relax, have breakfast, and enjoy every minute that I could on that amazing ship… I’d arrange to be the last guest to walk off 😊 No matter what color tags and time slot you are given, you can always go to the Guest Service desk and choose a later time to disembark 😉 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sail Haven on NCL and take our luggage off with us so we arent waiting for it. I was just wondering approx what time was first disembarkation.

Tell Joana up in the Observation Lounge that Mr Todd sent you 😉 We’re sitting in the OL as we sail away and we told Joanna that Mr Todd said hello. She laughed and had a big smile on her face. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
