Rated below most ships we track. It falls behind on disembarkation.
Norwegian Joy rates higher overall than 40% of the ships we track. Family is its strongest showing. The weak spot is disembarkation.

The one caution
8.0out of 10 for disembarkation
Higher than only 8% of ships. The typical ship scores 8.80.
Everything else, in two lines
Three are good without being remarkable: family (higher than 65% of ships), cabins (higher than 53% of ships) and ship quality (higher than 51% of ships).
Nine fall below the fleet: entertainment, dining, service, activities, public areas, fitness, value, embarkation and disembarkation. They rate higher than 8% to 41% of ships.
Cabin grade barely matters here. The inside, oceanview, balcony and suite grades all score between 8.19 and 8.38. Pick on price and position, not on rating.
