Norwegian Cruise Line - Norwegian Jewel Reviews

Travel solo and it is always a pleasure.

Could smell cigarette smoke throughout ship and food was a little bland.

Love Alaska, scenery is breath taking and traveling the inner passage is incredible. we love the free style cruising, we hate to be tied to specific times for dinner

It was our 1st time on NCL and compared to RCCL or DCL it was not the same quality. Food quality was not as good and service was poor. I think with the freestyle - which I love bc of flexibility - you lose some of the personal connections with the staff. Everyone is just doing what they need to do to get their job done. Nothing near like you find on the other comparable lines. The ship was nice and the excursions were amazing.

Excellent cruise, ship in need of upgrading,crew excellent,officers a little starchy.

The Jewel is a 'just the right sized' ship. Big enough to have many venues for food and entertainment but no so big that one must wait in lines for everything. The itinerary was very nice. I personally enjoyed the South Island more because the vistas were breathtaking and the population was more sparse. Took several of the ship offered excursions which were mostly well done, but was disappointed that Puffing Billy excursion was cut from 2 hour ride to 1/2 hour ride and a longer stop to the Santuary was added in Wellington. The walking tour in Napier was very informative and interesting. We chose to do a private tour and go bathing in the hot mineral springs in Rotaura (sp?) which was terrific and loved the trip to the Kiwi farm. The Botanical Gardens were beautiful. Food on the Jewel could use a little 'sprucing up', but was certainly plentiful and always available. The staff was very responsive to special dietary needs. Cabin was as expected and had very well thought out storage capacity. We had an extremely responsive and friendly cabin steward. All together another "trip of a lifetime'

The views were breathtaking, staff was very friendly and accomodating, very relaxing !

Everything was great

Did not like NCL

Ended within 36 hours. Bad customer service. Expensive.

It was a good trip but as far as the entertainment on board. It seemed to be lacking.

There were no words for this amazing trip.

Wonderful trip with great ports.

We enjoyed it very much. The service was great and your staff was always helpful and friendly. We would reccomend Norwegian Cruise lines to anyone wanting a good experience.
