    Hey Happy Travelers!
    Welcome to the Norwegian Joy, our very first NCL cruise! We are on a 12 night Caribbean sailing visiting Limón Costa Rica, Colon Panama, Cartagena Colombia, Oranjestad Aruba, Willemstad Curaçao, and Great Stirrup Cay (Norwegian’s private island)! This will mark as our longest sailing, so we are very excited to enjoy this new itinerary, as well as have plenty of time to see what NCL is all about!

    • @HoffmanHappyTravels
      @HoffmanHappyTravels  Před rokem

      Hi Dawn! ❤️ Thanks so much! 😍 I think the beaches are better at CocoCay because they're a bit more varied. I like how the Harbor Beach is lagooned and calm, while the snorkel beach on Chill Island has a bit more movement. Excited to see you in just a couple days! 🤩 Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢

  • @Determination212
    @Determination212 Před 2 měsíci +1

    I'm a foody so I don't see any many food options on this island. Maybe I sound stupid but why not just combine the two islands together? Both cruise lines could work it out together?

    • @HoffmanHappyTravels
      @HoffmanHappyTravels  Před 2 měsíci

      Hi! It would be great for Norwegian if Royal shared CocoCay with them. I don't think Royal would be willing to do this since they invested so much into their island. Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢

    Since this is NCL’s island, if you’re just visiting the beach, will staff announce when it’s time to get back on the ship? Or should you have your own watch/timer?

    • @HoffmanHappyTravels
      @HoffmanHappyTravels  Před 7 měsíci +1

      Hi! The staff doesn't really announce, you need to remain mindful of the time, but staff will start putting stuff up so there are some clues that let you know it's time to head back. Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
