"Our experience on Norwegian Joy was absolutely incredible. The ship is beautiful and well-maintained, and the ports of call were amazing. We booked all our excursions through Vacation Booker and saved a fortune compared to the cruise line prices."

"This was our third cruise on Norwegian Joy and it never disappoints. The staff is wonderful and the itinerary was perfect. We used Vacation Booker for a private snorkeling tour that was the highlight of the entire trip."

"First-time cruisers and we chose Norwegian Joy. The ship exceeded all expectations. We loved how easy it was to book our shore excursions in advance, and the return-to-ship guarantee gave us total peace of mind."
