Zoom into fantastic vistas along the Norwegian Joy Speedway, an actual onboard two-level racetrack, which is the first ever of its kind at sea and just one of the ways the ship is custom-built to let the outside in. Enjoy a new favorite cocktail and 180-degree panoramic views in the Observation Lounge and savor fresh sea breezes and dining under the stars along The Waterfront. From mouth-watering ribs at Q Texas Smokehouse to a juicy ribeye cooked to perfection at Cagney’s Steakhouse, there’s something for everyone on board. Click here for a full list of things to do on the ship, as well as photos, deck plans, and more.
