What a nice surprise with the room. Your dad is too cute. You guys crack me up it was very enJOYable to see your JOY getting on the NCL JOY 😂. We like the local as well, we had our rooms earlier like around 1:30 to 2:00 something like that it definitely wasn't 4:00 so I'm not sure if something happened with your cruise or we just got lucky can't wait to see the rest.
Hi Dawn! ❤️ Good! I'm glad the 4:00pm room time isn't the norm! Dad was super surprised which was awesome! It felt super good to be on a cruise again and we had a great time together! We're excited to share the rest of it! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
Hi Clodagh!!! ❤️ Catching up with some comments and so happy to see you here! We hope you had a fantastic time on your Happy Travels! ❤️❤️❤️ We had a lovely time on this cruise and my dad was so surprised! 😆 So happy to see you here in the comments again Clodagh! 🍀💚🚢
How exciting!! Chelsy you’re dad is so cute and I can definitely see the resemblance ☺️ So happy you all were able to get the family suite. Can’t wait to see all the videos for this sailing 🤩
Hi malahini09! Haha! Yes, I definitely take after my dad! 😂 We had so much fun together and so glad we were able to have the special room! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
Love seeing a new cruise line I haven’t tried yet! And loveee the muster drill being right when you get on! Matt on the escalator like what are you talking about was hilarious 😂 Can’t wait for the rest of the series! ❤
Hi Brittany C! ❤️ So glad you liked the first NCL video! It was fun trying a new cruise line and figuring out how it works! We loved the muster drill situation too! So easy! Haha I feel like Matt is constantly looking at me like that! 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
Hi James! We had a really great time on Joy! We still overall like Royal better but NCL is a great option, especially since they have more unique itineraries! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
Hi Matt! ❤️ Haha! Oh my goodness I was dying as well! 🤣🤣🤣 I was recording to get his reaction and boy did I! 🤣 It was so fitting, he's so funny! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
Awesome video! I found this video when searching for 'Norwegian Joy' on YT. Quick question regarding the "NCL Upgrade Advantage", since you mention you bid for that suite was "right in the middle", how soon did you receive the upgrade bid was accepted?
I loved the sail away when you guys had to turn around in the basin. I've said before, I watch a lot of a RUclips Port of Miami live streams. (Remember? I've watched you guys sail away before!) Gotta say, it was pretty cool seeing what I watch at a completely different angle all the time! Got to see things A: close up B: on the side that the other camera doesn't show! lol Got to put the whole picture in my mind! As usual, Hoffmans, another great video and a GREAT birthday present for Dad!!!!! Have fun!
Hi Mimi! YES! So glad this added a perspective to your Miami Sailaways! I love when we turn around in the basin because I love having long sailaways! More to enjoy! So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
Maybe I’ve missed it if it’s happened before, but I was so glad to see your dad finally interact with the camera! He seems so nice just like the two of you!!
Hi Ethan! Yes, we've traveled with him before but since the room was a surprise I had to film the reaction and so glad I did! 😂 Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
NCL has such a good vibe. Encore is such an amazing ship…. Not too intimidating but also not boring. With some of the best specialty dining in their fleet. Especially if dining on the Waterfront. We’ve got 14 nights of French Polynesia booked with NCL. And plan to go back to Alaska next year with them too on the Bliss. The facial recognition for boarding and disembarking is cool but also takes some time so it can cause a backup at the gangways… especially on the last day. Our upgrade bid on the Encore took us from a standard inside to a Club Balcony Suite for $550 total. Was a great surprise and we got it about 21 days before sailing.
So happy Hoffmans have taken the plunge and sailing NCL. NCL Escape was our first ever cruise back in 2017 when it all began! We have also been on the Dawn which was our longest cruise to date 11 days and began in San Juan😎. We sailed on Escape again on a different itinerary right before the pandemic hit. We love NCL and loved O’Sheehan 24 our pub, we love Cagney’s Steak house, Moderna Brazilian just two of our fave Specialty restaurants😋 We have always enjoyed their shows at night as well as their comedy shows and especially dueling pianos! Loving the enthusiasm and hopefully you had a positive cruise experience on NCL. Looking forward to watching your videos on JOY and hope Chelsey’s dad enjoyed the cruise as well. We have sailed Celebrity and had our first every RCL cruise this past New Year’s Eve yet looking forward to a great itinerary to Europe this august on NCL Getaway. Your suite looked amazing. Hope it won’t be your last NCL cruise🛳️👍
Hi Annie! ❤️ We had a fantastic sailing! It was so fun learning about a new cruise line and the itinerary was amazing! We will DEFINITELY be sailing NCL again! We're so glad you have had great sailings with NCL as well! Yay for your Europe trip! 🤗 I'm sure you'll have a great time! 😍 Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
Love the videos y'all!!! Can't wait to see the rest of this series! And thank you again for helping us book our 2025 cruise on Explorer of the Seas! Sent y'all an email.
Hi Ryan S! Awesome! 🤩 So glad you're looking forward to the series, it was a fun one! And thank you for letting us help you with your travels! And as always thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
Chelsy - I can see where you got your fun quirkiness fun!! Loved how you surprised him with the suite! Looking forward to this series for sure! And Matt - will we see your entry in the sexiest legs contest?? 😉
Hi Pam! ❤️ Awww that's so sweet! 😍 I definitely take after my dad in that way! We both love to have fun, joke around, and laugh! 😂 Unfortunately I couldn't convince Matt to enter 😂 Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
You guys always have good vibes! Funny seeing people give you weird or dirty looks when filming yet they don't know you got over 20k subs haha can't wait to watch the rest of the series!
Hi Kiiren! It's hard not to have good vibes when you're on a 12 night cruise! It was such a good time! Haha 😂 I think some people are curious of what we're doing and some people think we're crazy!... to be fair maybe we are! 😜 Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
Your not going to like it the the wait staff has bad attitudes. The food was very blah and don't play blackjack they shuffle after every hand that gives the house a big advantage
Hi Jerry! I'm sorry that was your experience with NCL. We did not have the same experience on the Joy. We did not play in the casino but we really enjoyed the food and all the staff we interacted with were great! Once again I'm very sorry you did not enjoy your NCL cruise. Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
You guys are absolutely adorable. I could see where Chelsy gets her personality from lol. Happy Travels ☺
Awww thank you so much! ❤️ Oh ya the apple doesn't far from the tree! 😂🥰 Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
@@HoffmanHappyTravels lol You're totally welcome 😊🥂
Hopefully you get a chance to watch Footloose. It is such a great production on the NCL Joy!
Have a fabulous cruise!
Hi J H! We did see Footloose and we absolutely loved it! 😍 Such a fun show and the cast was amazing! 🤩 Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢

LOL...."there's no bed" Your dad is so cute and funny
Hi Dipa! ❤️ My Dad is a hoot! 😂 His reaction was priceless! 😂 Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
I love that NCL directs you to the muster station before you can get comfortable and they have to track you down.
Hi Star! I agree! I think it's so efficient for making sure everyone gets that task done and then can enjoy the cruise! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
Ahoy Mates! Back from my Happy Travels and playing catch up! Wee Daddy's face when he realised you had a suite!! 🎉

Vwry cool u guys pull a surprise on dad for birthday 🎂. How did like NCL overall?

I love the singing 🎉
Hi Sophianao! Haha so glad you liked it! We are not professionals but we have fun! 😂 Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
“There’s now bed” about died. The room and wings looked legit as well as that cool laser tag area!
Laser tag at night is so much fun. The rounds feel much longer than they are. And the laser tag crew joined us for a few rounds in Alaska.
Hi Matt! ❤️ Haha! Oh my goodness I was dying as well! 🤣🤣🤣 I was recording to get his reaction and boy did I! 🤣 It was so fitting, he's so funny! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢

Why didn’t you book the HAVEN? You could have written it off as a business expense.
Hi Abram! It's still out of pocket and pretty pricey but hopefully one day we will experience it! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
