NCL JOY Transatlantic 2024, Ep 2 

I love your style of videos. It's like a documentary, reality show, and a favorite family video all in one. Educational, fun, and artistic. Can't wait for part 3!!!

Your videos are edited nice and like a pro! Keep up the good work bro 👍🏻💪🏻

Great start to my day!

Great video, Bram - so fun watching you & Mellie enjoy the Joy! Can’t wait to be on her again in just 3 short weeks, this video is helping to fill the gap of impatience until then 😊

I loved my thermal spa package on escape and used it several days!!

Hello Bram, always enjoy your videos ....looking forward to the next one

Ohh excited to watch 👀 we get on Joy in 29 days! Thanks for the content 🌊

Great vlog Bram and Mellie, very informative and enjoyable!

Hey Bram Thank you very much for making these videos. Part one was awesome as well. We booked the Norwegian Joy pretty early 2026 for my wife’s 50th birthday and really getting a good insight on what this cruises is like thanks to your videos so again, I really appreciate the video and especially the detail on the on-site amenities. Thanks my friend and have a great day Tom

So happy to see Mellie (and you) again!

Another great video , interesting as have always interested in a transatlantic, always enjoy sea days enjoying the boat but a bit concerned we would have hit your drinks total early on with le bistro and other great food lol ,looking forward to episode 3

Thank you Bram. I love all the details in your video. It really helps me to know what to expect when we cruise on the Joy in December. I've already watched the video twice. I'll probably watch it a few more times before December. And I love the intro! Your narrator has a great voice. For a minute, I thought it was Morgan Freeman! Good job! 😊

We sailed on a 16 day Panama Canal cruise on the Joy last year, so this was a lovely revisit. I watched your video, however, as our next cruise in November will be a transatlantic crossing (Miami to Southampton) on the Encore.. I like your style of vlogging (nothing more disappointing than expecting to see some cruise video and instead see two people sitting on a couch telling me about their trip!). I also appreciate your dry sense of humour! You've got yourself a new subscriber.

I sailed the Joy again from NYC to Quebec City in Sept, it was quite nice. First time I sailed her was when she had just been converted from the China market and she was still a little rough. I almost last minute booked the cruise you're on, but the last minute flight from Montreal to London was just too expensive (3x the cost of the cruise!). I booked next feb's Bliss transatlantic from southhampton to miami instead. :)

These videos are addicting. In a good way.

Love love your videos. I never get enough ! I will be on the NCL Getaway in 12 days, so I am already on the mood with your video! I hope to meet you one of these next cruises!❤

Another great video, I loved Joy and it looks even better after the refit. Shame the weather wasn't hotter on the crossing. Keep up the great work.

Thanks! Was waiting for the second part…. Doing transatlantic on Escape from BCN this year- we see things the same way!

I’m glad you like the Joy I hear so many bad comments about the Joy. I was on it about 5 years ago. I love it.

It's strange seeing how one side of the forward lounge was turned into a group of cabins, but then again - the sides of that beautiful lounge were never used in the evening (only on sea days and embarkation day, while everyone is waiting for their cabin). We often had an aperitif of after dinner drink in the observation lounge and then it was usually quiet. Hope the service in Taste and Savor are better than they were in September of 2023, because then (when we sailed on Joy in New England and Canada) service there was far below the level of the bigger complementary restaurant.

We are doing a TA on NCL Encore next month going from Miami to Southhampton. I’m hoping it will be as nice as this one.

Great video! I enjoy your channel. Thanks for sharing. AnnaMaria

Fantastic video 📹 👏 😂❤❤❤😂good stuff man

another great video i will be waiting for the next one...

Great video Bram as always 😉👍

Bram, only thing worse than country music is loud county music! Thanks for bringing back memories!

Going on NCL Epic in Mediterranean in July. I enjoy your videos, specifically NCL as that is the line I will be on for my first cruise. I will have my birthday while there, going to Cagney's. Nice watching your videos..

Thank you Bram for showing us the Joy, We sail on her in 2025

I enjoy your videos!!! Please share... what is a mango meltodown? That looked amazing!

Looking forward to cruising on the Joy next December but the one thing I noticed missing here is... does the Joy not have Syd Norman's, or did you just not go? Definite sad face for me if it won't be on the Joy, though. Just got back a few weeks ago from seeing another of their cast on the Norwegian Breakaway. Went to every show (except for the 2nd Rumors show on the one night they did 2 shows) and loved every minute of it. Also did the Behind the Scenes tour on that ship and found out from the production manager that they often get complaints about the size of the venue but she confirmed my thoughts on that which were that the size of the venue is, itself, part of the show! Wouldn't quite work right on the main stage, but she also said they may move the Rumors show they do onto the main stage and I can see it for that show since it is less "interactive" than their main shows are. Also, you go "all American" with Budweiser!? Yuck! Thankfully that beer is quickly losing ground to the ever-growing craft brew craze here in the States. (Not that I should really talk since I almost never drink... even if I did have to teach a bartender on the Breakaway how to make a Negroni Sbagliato with Aperol :D)

I’m a solo cruiser love to do a transatlantic, but it’s just too expensive alone got any hints

Dear Bram, You know I love your style of videos making us feel like if we were with you. But this case is special because I was on NCL Joy only two weeks after you on a “normal” western Caribbean cruise out of Miami. It brings back great memories. One thing I like is how you put NCL personnel under a great light. Those people work a lot, with the smile to make us feel good and you convey that expertly. They are exactly how you show them. The bar bill “accident” was quite revealing. Never a problem. One point I disagree with you is the Observation Lounge massacre. I do not mind the disappearance of the laser tag or the video game lounge. But cutting 40% of the Observation Lounge is a huge mistake. Executives in other companies have been fired for cause for decision less dramatic than this. Your cruise being at 50% you might not have noticed it. But on a normal cruise, the new Observation lounge is overcrowded. At peak hours or on sea days, it is tough to find a free sofa or table. The afternoon buffet comes with a 12-20 people line waiting to be served. They removed the small buffet on the port side. All in all, the greatest place on the ship has been made less appealing. I rather go on the Encore, Bliss or Escape. And thanks for your opening comments on transatlantic cruises. It might convince my wife to try it. It is one of my dreams. Very high on my bucket list. Sea days, I always love!! Thanks for your good work!

Geen pina colada?!?
