Sail Date: Dec 2006
Cabin: Aft-Facing Mini-Suite with Balcony

My wife and I are usually cruising over Christmas, but my Mom asked us to be home this year, so we moved our cruise up a week. This was our fifth holiday cruise and sixth cruise on Norwegian. The Jewel was our second Jewel-class ship - we sailed on the Pearl a couple of years ago.

While it was not exactly the same as a Christmas cruise, it was a cruise with a holiday spirit, especially compared to a New Year's cruise we did a couple of years ago where we left on Christmas Day and everyone seemed a bit cranky until New Year's Eve - the last night of the cruise.

Sailing on another ship in the same class was great because we almost instantly knew where everything was onboard - it was like coming home. That saved us a lot of time the first couple of days on just getting around the ship.

Aft-Facing Mini-Suite with Balcony

Cabin M1

This is a nice cabin with lots of room. It is aft-facing, so you see nothing but ocean behind you off the balcony. However, the view was not as impressive as I had hoped, so I wouldn't pay mini-suite prices just to get aft-facing. I would just get a handicap balcony.
